Brenda Hardin

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


Hello, and welcome. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, fulfillment, or passion? Do you feel misunderstood by the people around you, or find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you want things to change but are unsure where to begin.

“It is okay not to be okay.” Life’s unexpected challenges can leave us feeling emotionally exhausted, uncertain, and alone. You do not have to navigate those experiences by yourself. I provide a private, safe, and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building greater self-awareness, healing, and resilience.

My name is Brenda Hardin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of professional experience. I am licensed in Indiana, New Jersey, and Virginia. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process that creates space for healing, personal growth, and meaningful change.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here!

Life doesn't come with a roadmap, and sometimes we all need someone to help us navigate the difficult moments. Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or simply ready for a change, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity and reconnect with yourself.

I completed my graduate education at Grace College in 2021, earning a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I have worked in several treatment settings, including community mental health, school-based therapy and online intensive outpatient.

I strive to create a welcoming, judgement-free space where you can be your authentic self. Together, we'll explore what's bringing you to therapy, identify your strengths, and develop skills that support meaningful and lasing growth.
