Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Indiana

Hi. My name is Amy. I have been a nurse for 30 years and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for over a year and a half. I love listening to my clients and giving them the best care possible. I love cows! And I look forward to working with you. I am not a therapist. I can do an evaluation and prescribe medications IF needed. I do not like to prescribe medication if I do not have to.

I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years of experience. My concentration was originally in Mental Health and Addiction with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Indiana University. I have additional training in Trauma Focused Behavioral Health, Specialized Treatment for Women of all ages including such areas as Post-partum Depression, and Intimate Partner Violence along with focused treatment for adolescents and adults with other mental health issues such as ADHD, and Anger.

I’m glad you’re here. By considering counseling, you're taking a critical step towards healing and wholeness. Whether you have previously been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD or are simply struggling with changes in your life and relationships, I’m ready to help you explore what’s going on and take your next steps in the healing process. I specialize in integrating spirituality into counseling, men's issues, relationship problems, and treating trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders. As a Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist (CSTS) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) I have specialty training around trauma and shame.

We all have problems that need specialized help. We call a plumber when the house floods or a mechanic when our cars break down. However, when life pulls the rug out from under us we often keep it to ourselves and “press on.” There’s no time for a “life breakdown.” We reason that we should just know how to handle these life situations (even though we’ve never faced them before). On top of that, we try to conceal our troubles so that no one else sees that we’re struggling. When we finally address this inner turmoil we’re worn out from the original problem AND our unhealthy coping through isolation. It’s time to come out of hiding.

I have been working in mental health for over 20 years in a variety of settings from residential treatment to outpatient therapy in integrated primary care and traditional counseling practices. I am experienced in group, individual, couples, and family therapy. In addition to offering therapy, I am also a graduate counseling professor and clinical supervisor for graduate students and license eligible clinicians. My passions are counseling and educating clients, professionals, and students on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and improving mental and emotional wellbeing.

I use a four- fold approach to treating beyond traditional psychotherapy to help you on your journey. I have PhD in Clinical psychology, two master's degree (one in community counseling, one in community psychology). I also have a degree in Addictions and one in business management. Having worked every level of care from an inpatient hospital setting, residential long-term care, in a jail, a prison, out-patient levels for intensive three times per week to one time per week and taught in two universities. I am working my favorite level of care on an out-patient setting. Training has been in addictions, mental health, couples and family systems. I have other specialties with chronic pain and nutrition/bariatrics and obesity and available to provide medical and court evaluations with limited testing. I see children from 12 and up and adults/geriatrics.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.

I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, hormonal and life transitions, and the emotional challenges that can accompany different stages of life. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses your concerns, builds on your strengths, and helps you feel more like yourself again.I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of experience in advanced practice, preceded by five years as a psychiatric registered nurse. My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and thoughtfully tailored to the individual needs, goals, and circumstances of each patient. I have experience working with patients across the lifespan in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
