Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in South Bend, IN

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

With nearly 10 years of experience providing therapy, I believe meaningful change happens when you feel both deeply understood and gently challenged. My style is warm, human, and occasionally sprinkled with humor- because therapy doesn't have to feel cold, clinical, or intimidating to be effective.

I specialize in working with OCD and anxiety, helping clients understand intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the anxiety cycles that keep them going. Together, we focus on building tolerance for uncertainty, reducing compulsive behaviors, and increasing emotional flexibility.

I also have specialized training and experience in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and evidence-based therapy approach that helps people process trauma, reduce emotional intensity, and shift long-standing beliefs that no longer serve them.

In addition, I work with individuals navigating major life changes, including high-conflict divorce and the painful realities of parental alienation. These experiences can be isolating, overwhelming, and deeply destabilizing. My approach centers on helping clients regain a sense of grounding, clarity, and agency, while learning practical tools to cope with ongoing stress, grief, and complex family dynamics.

Hi! My name is Angie Hanson, MA, LMHC, LPCC.

I studied psychology and linguistics in my undergrad and pursued a career in speech and language therapy. I discovered a passion for mental health and pivoted, after developing a profound respect for the field as a person who found tremendous support and healing in my own therapy journey. I completed my masters in clinical mental health counseling from Concordia University Irvine in 2024. I pursued a teaching institute, Forge Counseling Collective, for my professional development in Colorado for my counseling internship which provided excellent mentorship and supervision. I returned to my home in 2025 to be near my family in Kentuckiana.

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.

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. I am a sex therapist and look forward to helping you overcome sexual shame and trauma so that you can have all the intimacy and closeness you desire.

I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
