Therapist

Virtual • Greenwood, IN


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit mental health organizations, addiction treatment, and behavioral health settings, while also serving as a clinical supervisor and program director. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how people grow, heal, and build resilience through every stage of life.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, anger, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for greater balance, we'll work together to identify practical solutions that fit your unique needs.

Dr. Melissa Ketner

Dr. Melissa Ketner

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


Grief is my specialty. I've lived it, not just studied it. I was a guardian and caregiver for my parent through Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer's Disease, which means I understand what it's like to grieve someone who is still here, to navigate a complex medical system on someone else's behalf, and to carry your own needs while holding everyone else's.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience across mental health, child welfare, hospice, and hospital settings, and I hold a Doctorate in Health Sciences. I work with individuals facing grief at every stage: life cycle changes, chronic illness, and end-of-life. I'm also trained as an end-of-life doula and hold certifications in palliative and trauma-informed care.

I'm licensed in Indiana and Minnesota.
