Sometimes life looks fine from the outside,
while inside you're overwhelmed, stuck,
disconnected, or wondering what happened
to the person you used to be.
Maybe you're dealing with ADHD, anxiety,
depression, relationship challenges, low
self-esteem, identity questions, or a major
life transition. Maybe you're starting over
and aren't quite sure what comes next.
You don't have to have everything figured
out before coming to therapy.
I'm Hope Striving, LPCC, and I believe
therapy should feel human. I offer a warm,
affirming, judgment-free space where you
can be honest, explore what's really
going on and feel genuinely heard.
I work with adolescents and adults,
with a particular interest in ADHD and
neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ concerns,
identity development, relationships,
self-esteem, trauma, grief, and life
transitions.
I also believe there should be room
for humor, creativity, and authenticity
in therapy. My goal isn't to tell you how
to live your life, it's to help you better
understand yourself, recognize your
strengths, develop practical coping
strategies, and create meaningful
change that fits who you are.
Hi, I’m Torraine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Indiana. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief, anxiety, and major life transitions. Whether you're adjusting to loss, relationship changes, career shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, I provide a compassionate and grounded space to help you process and move forward. Reaching out takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.
I have nearly 30 years of experience in private practice, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth style to the work I do with adults and older adults. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Counseling Education from Ohio University, and I have spent my career helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, and women's issues. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the one everyone else counts on, even when their own needs have gone unheard. My goal is to offer practical, compassionate support that helps you feel more steady, understood, and confident as you move through whatever season of life you are facing.
Hi there! My name is Brittany Campbell, LISW-S. I have been in practice as a therapist since 2019 and working in the mental health field since 2012. I went to Liberty University for a BS of Psychology and USC for a Master of Social Work. I have focused study in attachment. I also specialize in OCD treatment. Whether you find yourself emotionally over controlled or dysregulated, I have techniques to help. One of the most interesting parts of my job is that I get to share in a portion of your story and hopefully help you to find meaning and purpose in it. I can't wait to talk soon!
What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?
I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.
What should someone know about working with you?
I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.
How do you continue learning and building new skills?
I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.
"Success for me, is helping others create the wellness they desire."
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.
I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.
I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.
I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.
I have served individuals experiencing mental health symptoms and co-occurring disorders for 20 years. I am a social worker, a therapist and an independent provider for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities.
I received both my Bachelor of Science in Social Work Degree and my Master of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University, and am licensed in both Indiana and Ohio. I have over 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health with children, teens, adults, and seniors, as well as couples. I have experience working with marital issues, pre-marital couples, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and stress management.
My approach to therapy is warm, culturally attuned, and practical. I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported while also gaining tools they can use in their daily lives.
As a multilingual therapist offering services in English, Farsi, and Turkish, I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. I understand the complexities of navigating identity, family expectations, and cross-cultural experiences, and I strive to create a space where all parts of your story are respected.
I value collaboration and tailor each session to meet your individual needs. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we will move at a pace that feels right for you while still maintaining forward progress.
My goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you build the skills and confidence to manage challenges independently and create lasting change.
I"m a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 8 years of experience in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related symptoms, OCD, panic, and other mental health concerns. I also have an interest in women's mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional and psychiatric changes that can occur during perimenopause and menopause.
Hi there! I am so excited for your therapeutic journey. I received my bachelor of arts degree in psychology and master of arts degree in clinical mental health counseling from Bowling Green State University. I have experience working with teens, young adults, and adults from a variety of backgrounds to meet their needs in becoming the version of themselves they hope to be. My work includes and is not limited to treatment of depression, anxiety, self esteem, self harm, adjustment, identity development and self exploration, relational concerns, and communication. Thanks for reading!
