Hello! I'm Grace, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively within hospital-based Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). This experience has given me a deep understanding of the profound sense of helplessness and struggle one feels when caught in the middle of an intense emotional storm.

Amy Seager

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.

I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.

I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Merrillville, IN

Searching for therapists in Merrillville starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some bios may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, which can help you decide who may be a good fit.

Merrillville is part of northwest Indiana, where the number of nearby therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Indiana. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they provide a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, experience, and session approach.

Therapy in Merrillville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
