You don’t have to keep living in survival mode. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—constantly holding it all together for everyone else—you’re not alone. Many of the women and adolescents I work with are used to pushing through stress, managing everything on the outside, while feeling exhausted or disconnected on the inside. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering trauma-informed, integrative therapy that supports both your emotional well-being and your nervous system. Together, we’ll work to gently understand what you’ve been carrying, build awareness of patterns, and help your body and mind begin to feel safe

I actively participate in helping you get to where you want to go, and I offer insight when clients have a desire and readiness to hear it. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years as well, so I have heard it all! My office is a no judgement zone first and foremost.

Hello and welcome. My name is Muhammad Saahir, LMHC and I have been a full-time clinician since 2013 and fully licensed since 2016. My theoretical approach includes a combination of person-centered and cognitive behavior therapy. While working with clients, I aim to focus on giving space for growth, validation, and collaborative goal setting.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana. I earned my masters degree in social work from the University of Louisville in 2013. I have over 13 years of professional social work experience in the mental health field as well as the school setting. I am dedicated to helping individuals, families, and children navigate life’s most difficult seasons. I have a dual background as both a licensed clinical

(LCSW) and School Social Worker (LSSW), which is a great asset for parents looking for help with school-related issues. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth across Indiana.

Choosing the right therapist is an important step, and I'd like to share a little about the clients I serve to help you decide whether we'd be a good fit. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are navigating challenges in their relationships. Whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or even your relationship with yourself, our connections often have a significant impact on how we think, feel, and move through the world. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy are rooted in feeling disconnected, hurt, or stuck in repeating patterns, and I find it meaningful to help clients create healthier relationships. My own journey has required grit, resilience, and the willingness to rise again and again, and those experiences shape the way I sit with others in their pain, their uncertainty, and their becoming.

I enjoy working with people of color and others of diverse backgrounds to help them navigate through the life events that contribute to depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, or any other emotional irregularities that affect their ability to function the way they want to.

I work with adults facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, as well as athletes, from professionals to serious weekend competitors, looking to strengthen their mental game. I also support clients preparing for or integrating a psychedelic-assisted therapy experience, a less common but increasingly requested area of practice. Outside the therapy room, I'm renovating my house, rereading the classics, and still chasing a decent golf swing.

I'm Hagan Lawson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Purdue University. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and other mental health challenges. My background in both physical and mental health care has shaped the way I practice, I believe understanding the whole person is essential to providing meaningful mental health care. Above all, I want my patients to feel comfortable being themselves and know they will be heard, respected, and involved in their care.

When life feels overwhelming, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. 21 years of behavioral health and psychotherapy experience, including 16 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving adults who are often balancing significant responsibilities while putting their own needs last.

Clients describe me as warm, calm, practical, and easy to talk to. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives.

As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.

I’m passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to have someone by their side through both the highs and the lows.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.

With over 15 years of experience, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion into my work. I’m known for being kind, approachable, and deeply committed to the therapeutic process.

I’m also a certified yoga instructor and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into sessions when it feels helpful. I believe in the connection between mind and body and strive to support clients in feeling more balanced, present, and connected to themselves.

I’m Ashley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering virtual therapy in Indiana. I’ve been providing therapy since 2021, with over 15 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is finding someone you feel comfortable being yourself with. I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported without feeling judged.

I work with adults and especially enjoy helping young adults figure out who they are, what they want, and what they need. Many of the people I work with overthink, struggle to set boundaries, or are much harder on themselves than they are on everyone else. I also help people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and past experiences that still affect their lives and relationships.

I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help people work through difficult experiences and negative beliefs about themselves. Sometimes you understand why you feel a certain way, but knowing that hasn’t been enough to help you feel differently. EMDR is one approach we can explore together.

My style is warm, honest, and down-to-earth, with room for humor. I’ll support and validate you, and I’ll also gently challenge you or point out patterns I’m noticing. Sometimes you may want direct feedback, and other times you may need space to work through something. We’ll talk about what feels helpful to you.

I don’t believe therapy should look the same for everyone. If something we’re doing isn’t helping, I want you to feel comfortable telling me so we can make adjustments. You don’t have to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before starting. We can figure out where to begin together.

I have over 38 years of experience helping children, adults, and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. I work from a family-systems and strength-based perspective, focusing on understanding patterns that contribute to ongoing stress and disconnection.

I am direct, thoughtful, and collaborative in my approach. I work with ADHD, anxiety, depression, school concerns, divorce, and family relationship challenges. When working with children, I believe caregiver involvement is essential for meaningful and lasting change.
