Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in South Bend, IN

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. Most of my experience has been with teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and are involved in the juvenile justice system because of their decision making. I am currently a student pursuing my Doctor of Social Work and believe whole-heartedly in treating mental health and substance use concurrently, including the family as an integral part of the recovery process.

Welcome, I am Christy Walters, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana, and have been practicing 17 years. I specialize in working with children and families. I have experience working with Domestic Violence victims, Childhood trauma and substance abuse. Other areas I address are Adjustment disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, trauma, loss/life changing transitions.

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.

At the heart of my practice is a genuine desire to help people grow. I believe every person has the ability to create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with their values. My role is to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, build new skills, and discover what’s possible for them. My style is warm, direct, and growth‐oriented.

I’m Stefani, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, family stress, life transitions, and trauma. Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong. Sometimes you just know you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

I don’t rush people or push past your pace, and I don’t flinch at the hard stuff. You don’t need the right words or a perfect story to begin. We can start wherever you are and figure the rest out together.

I have over a decade of experience supporting people through difficult and deeply personal circumstances. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

I’m Charity, an LCSW with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s harder chapters. Whether you're managing the weight of anxiety and depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to the unique challenges. I’m here to support you. My background across military and medical settings has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.
