Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN
Private mental health council in Noblesville Indiana. Specializing in trauma, stress anxiety and PTSD.
I have been working with Young Adults for over 10 years dealing with transitions in and out of school as well as the family conflict that can arise around this time. I also work with those who are coming to understand their gender and sexuality and how to incorporate this new understanding into their lives and relationships to the degree that they are comfortable. I specialize in working on trauma that has lead to current mood issues as well using several modalities of treatment.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, I see you. Maybe you have thoughts like, "Why can't I just let this go?" or "I'm so tired of feeling this way". Perhaps you wonder, "Am I too broken to heal?". Or maybe you feel exhausted from trying to please everyone, feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, and wondering why it feels like you're never "enough". Whether you're navigating the impacts of childhood trauma, relationship wounds, difficult life transitions, or grief, you're not alone—and you're in the right place. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll gently uncover the patterns holding you back, process the painful moments that still feel heavy, and build tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and empowered. I utilize trauma-focused therapies like EMDR and CPT, along with strategies from CBT and DBT. If you're ready to take that next step, I encourage you to reach out. I’m here to support you as you work toward finding relief and feeling more in control of your life. We'll create a plan that feels aligned with your unique needs and goals. Call or text 317-316-3181 today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
Is social anxiety stopping you from enjoying fulfilling relationships? Are you experiencing panic attacks, excessive worry, or insomnia? Perhaps you are stuck in the cycle of perfectionism, where no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? If these questions are speaking to you, I am so glad you have reached out for help. Anxiety and perfectionism can be truly painful and debilitating. They can impact your ability to do well at work, connect with others, enjoy hobbies or simply feel able to relax and enjoy life. But you do not have to suffer with these issues forever. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence based treatment that has been shown to be highly effective in treating anxiety and the symptoms of perfectionism. You can get better! To get started, call me at 317-599-4501 or visit my website at www.salzmanpsychology.com to schedule your free phone consultation and see if working with me will be a great fit for you.

I am so glad you are here. I am Angelica (she/her/hers), and I am a clinical social worker, who is a recovering people pleaser. I cant deny a cozy coffee shop and a decadent pastry. I am an excellent listener who can appreciate the uncomfortable silence, because that is where I find the most growth occurs. I work with students who have struggled to meet their own emotional needs. They are trying to relearn the balance of being a student, friend, and figuring out life’s next step. The ones who struggle to say that without taking care of themselves, they cant take care of anyone else around them. My goal is for you to view yourself as the beautiful person you are mentally, physically, and emotionally. Contact me at angelica@finding-balance-therapy.com or call/text me at (765)233-6968

Hi! I’m Jen (she/her) and I’m not perfect. It took me a long time to be able to say and accept that. In fact, I now embrace the things that are imperfect - all my difficulties and challenges. I have navigated these throughout my life and seek to help others navigate their difficulties and challenges, as well. My therapy style has been described as informal, direct, genuine, and humorous. I am fully authentic with my clients and I hope my clients will be fully authentic with me. I tend to be blunt and call people out on their BS - I say what you can’t or won’t and teach you to do that for yourself. Together, we will address your difficulties by connecting current thoughts, beliefs, and emotions to past experiences. We can’t fix the past, but we can change how we view it and move forward.
Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Are you feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty adjusting to changes in your life? If these questions resonate with you, I am ready to walk with you along your healing journey. I utilize a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing and psychoeducation. I very much enjoy working with young adults and specialize in adjustment/life transitions, relationship concerns, perfectionism, adult children of alcoholics, family of origin issues, shame, trauma, and codependency. I promote self-discovery, which includes not only identifying problematic patterns and obstacles, but also exploring strengths and evidence of resiliency. In addition to my professional training, my own personal experiences have equipped me with compassion, empathy, and a desire to help others feel empowered as they pursue the life they desire.

Hey - I'm James! I look forward to getting to know you. I provide mental health therapy through secure video. I am in network with Anthem, Aetna, United Healthcare, and UMR. Schedule through my website to get a free consultation! Are you tired of waking up every morning wondering how you’re going to make it through another day? Do you get so anxious that it makes you physically sick? When you’re at your breaking point, you need someone on your side. As a mental health therapist for over 8 years, I see it as my privilege to take the time to understand what it's like to be you and to do my best to help you feel more in control of your life. I use scientifically supported techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, schema therapy, and solution-focused therapy. My specialities include working with adults who are going through hard life changes, family of origin issues, depression, anxiety, or who are just trying to figure out who they are. I really enjoy getting to know what makes my clients unique as people and then using this to help tackle whatever is sucking the fun out of life. One of the first things we can do in therapy is explore how you view the world and what the ingredients are to the problems bothering you. We'll make a plan together that feels right to you and is at the pace you need it to be. During each session, I want you to feel heard and cared about. My aim as your therapist is to support you in creating a more fulfilling life - a life you want to wake up to.
You have a story to tell. A story about you. It is a story full of hope, joy, confusion, and at times pain. Right now, you may be in that experience of confusion or pain, and feel unsure of how to make good decisions, or any decision at all. I would be honored to hear that story and journey with you as you seek to put new puzzle pieces together to find peace and clarity. All my clients (individual and couple) will come to understand their behavioral responses caused by our internal experiences of pain, what we refer to as our pain cycle. We will then map out new opportunities for personal responsibility and predictability, referred to as our peace cycle, and seek together how to practice and strengthen making decisions within our peace cycle instead of making decisions while coping with our pain cycle.
