How you feel about yourself, relate with others, and make your way in the world is significantly influenced by your earliest relationships. If your caregivers struggled with their own psychological health, their ability to connect with and be emotionally available to you may have been impaired. You may have felt invalidated, rejected, smothered or unwanted. Since you had no choice but to adapt and attach to the adults available to you, you may now find yourself in relationships that feel empty, end abruptly, or are riddled with conflict. Such disharmony only exacerbates feeling depressed and anxious. As a psychodynamic therapist, I am trained to recognize the underlying thoughts, feelings, and patterns that keep you from sustaining meaningful relationships and stuck in emotional pain. Rather than viewing you as a diagnosis or problem to be solved, I'm most interested in understanding and helping you work through what is troubling you. I completed training at The Object Relations Institute of New York City, The Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, and I am an Assistant Professor at Indiana University South Bend . I am also a classically trained musician and former high school choral director. Please visit my website at www.kurtmhanus.com

Are you struggling to be your full self in relationship with others? I support clients with relational difficulties, especially related to self-worth, people pleasing, or perfectionism. I also work with couples in the areas of communication, emotional intimacy, boundary clarification, and divorce discernment. I have personal and professional experience with autism and ADHD. I have worked with many late-identified neurodivergent clients to address depression, anxiety or relationship concerns through self-acceptance. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, rather than behavioral-based. I strive to be an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC ally.

Welcome. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by the weight of everything you’ve been carrying, I want you to know you don’t have to figure it all out alone. ​I believe that therapy is, first and foremost, a partnership built on warmth, safety, and mutual respect. Life can be incredibly complex, and our mental well-being is deeply connected to everything around us—our physical health, our personal histories, and the day-to-day pressures of the world we live in. My goal is to provide a soft landing place where you can step out of the chaos, catch your breath, and feel truly heard. ​As a counselor with a deep background in both mental health and clinical medicine, I look at the whole picture of who you are. Together, we will gently explore what is holding you back, honor your lived experience, and collaborate on a practical, supportive path forward at a pace that feels safe and right for you. ​My Specialties ​Healing Trauma & Stress: Gently working together to soothe your nervous system, process old wounds, and bring a sense of safety back to your daily life. ​Navigating Life & Career Transitions: Providing a steady, encouraging anchor when you are managing major life shifts, educational pursuits, or redefining your personal goals. ​Financial & Socioeconomic Stress: Offering a compassionate, zero-judgment space to talk about the very real anxiety, stress, and burdens that financial and systemic pressures place on our minds and families. ​Integrative, Whole-Person Wellness: Honoring the profound connection between your mind and body, ensuring your physical well-being is supported alongside your emotional health. ​My Approach ​My therapeutic style is warm, interactive, and deeply collaborative. I am not a passive therapist who just sits and nods; I am right there in the trenches with you, listening with an open heart and a curious mind. Because everyone processes things differently, I love using creative, visual, and practical tools to help us map out patterns and make sense of heavy emotions together. ​There is no judgment here—only a shared commitment to your growth, your peace of mind, and your personal autonomy. ​Who I Work Best With ​I welcome adults from all walks of life who are looking for a deeply empathetic, down-to-earth ally. Whether you are navigating a demanding career, feeling crushed by the weight of systemic barriers, or simply trying to find your footing during a time of immense change, I am here to support you. If you are looking for a space where you can be completely, authentically yourself while working toward a more peaceful, resilient life, we will likely be a wonderful fit.

I have been in private practice since 1995, providing mental health counseling to undergrad and graduate students who may have difficulties living away from home, strenuous academic schedules, trouble making friends and fitting in, as well as stress related to dissertation and associated exams. When the relatively brief nature of on-campus counseling isn’t enough, students appreciate the easy access and privacy of online counseling through the Google Meet app.

There is no universal blueprint for figuring life out. Despite following the rules, working hard, and even finding some success, life may feel really dull. With that, a sense of emptiness and lack of direction can ebb and flow as we move through our existence. Sometimes, it feels like we are just going through the motions and playing in the background is the soundtrack of everyone else’s opinions. You may not even be able to pinpoint what exactly is wrong. Maybe you’re drowning under pressure and expectations. Maybe you're stuck living in the past, or frozen by fear of the future. Maybe it's a million different things... All you know is that that something is missing and you want more out of life. Although none of us are exempt from hard experiences, you can truly thrive in life! I help college students, young adults, and professionals who have worked hard to follow the traditional path only to wind up feeling lost, disconnected, and craving more out of life. You deserve to find freedom and wholeness in who you are. To shed old stories, build new ones, & uncover the goodness in life. To rediscover your passions and chase your dreams. To heal your hurts, learn how to handle to mess when it shows up, and live a life of true fulfillment. I'm here to support you along your journey to living your magic. Let's connect!
