Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in South Bend, IN

Being a therapist perfectly combines my love of people and passion for mental health and wellness. I am excited to work alongside my clients, providing support tailored to their specific goals — because I believe no one is a better expert on you than you.

I've had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My experience includes working in community mental health and prior to becoming a therapist, supporting survivors of domestic violence as they navigated the legal system.

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.

My name is Sarah. I am excited to get to know you! I am a board certified LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I have primarily worked in a community mental health setting, which has given me a very diversified experience. I am an animal lover, a coach, a mom, and a devoted partner. I am a member of the LGBT+ community. I work with people of all ages and believe that everyone has the ability to achieve their best self.

My name is Kevin Heller, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my master’s degree in Community Counseling from Argosy University in 2012 and my bachelor’s degree from Ball State University in 2006. My professional background includes community mental health, healthcare settings, and online counseling.

I strive to provide a welcoming space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and work toward meaningful change. Together, we can explore the challenges bringing you to therapy and identify goals that fit your needs.

I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.

I love helping others overcome mental obstacles to allow them to reach their goals. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship and use it as a catalyst for positive change. I have over 8 years of experience in private practice and have helped people through a wide range of issues. I have unique experience in sport and performance psychology. I have two post undergraduate degrees in mental health counseling from Indiana University and an undergraduate degree in psychology from Butler University. I bring my knowledge, experience, and value system to each of my clients.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.

You may be trying to keep things together while feeling anxious, down, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to get back to feeling like yourself. Maybe past experiences are still affecting you, relationships have become difficult to navigate, or you're struggling to understand why you keep reacting in ways you don't want to. For teens, this can look like withdrawing, feeling misunderstood, struggling at school, or having emotions that feel difficult to manage. For parents, it may mean trying to support your child while also feeling unsure of what to do next. I work with teens, parents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I strive to make therapy feel warm, genuine, and easy to talk about.

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.
