Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

Hello! My name is Jami Ober, and my practice is HopeSpark Counseling! Whether you're looking for support during the stresses of school, preparing for life after college, or just deciding you're ready to begin understanding yourself a bit more, I'm here to help! I'm able to meet virtually or in-person at my office off Mass Ave.

As a licensed clinical social worker, my role is to partner with you to navigate your experiences and challenges that are affecting you or your loved one's life at home, at work, or at school. In my practice I work with adolescents, adults, and families in a safe, comfortable setting. I have over ten years of clinical experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and loss. I provide short-term and long- term therapy to treat issues involving anxiety, mood, personality, and substance use disorders. I use evidence-based approaches and my training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together we will work to discover the best way to reach your treatment goals.

While college presents many exciting opportunities, it can also be a challenging time in your life. Maybe you're feeling the weight of academic pressures, wrestling through new ideas and realizations about the world, or navigating social life in a new way - maybe a combination of all of the above! You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. I offer an environment that is both compassionate and empowering, to walk alongside you in your pursuit of growth and healing. I offer counseling in-office, through telehealth, and in outdoor-settings. If the traditional office setting isn't for you, we can meet while on a hiking trail or on a walking path. We'll work together to meet your needs, in helping you reach your goals through the use of evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy, and a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and trusting relationship.

You may be reading this because you are struggling. Struggling through school, a loss, a break up, or just... life. You may be tired of everyone telling you to just get over it, or tired of everyone telling you they just don't get it. You need someone to relate. You need someone who gets it. Challenges that come in life are tough, and I entered this field because I went through those challenges, and if we’re honest, I struggled too. I felt alone, but I'm here now to tell you that you don't have to feel that way too. I will meet you where you are in your walk of life right now. I’ve helped clients not just through tough chapters, but to excel and be there best selves for what comes next. I have a passion for helping people like you achieve these goals, and I look forward to hearing how I can support you in your journey. Let's talk soon, so you can tell me a bit about your situation and get all your questions answered.

Hi, I’m Michaela (she/her) and I have been in the field of Mental Health and Social Work for over 12 years. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, challenges with adjustment, depression, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I have traveled the world extensively and bring my experience as a 1st generation American to my practice. My therapeutic approach centers around helping clients move toward a life they find fulfilling. I believe this can be achieved through interactive & solution-focused feedback. I place a high value on emotional regulation and its impact on our daily lives. You can anticipate learning about radical acceptance and other DBT skills! I show up to my practice as my authentic self and encourage you to do the same. I view you as the expert on yourself. I'm here to empower you through psycho-education, skills training, and feedback. I am comfortable exploring therapy through a faith-based lens. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards self-actualization, and healing.

I believe that one of the most healing aspects of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client which is one intended to be that of a traveling companion rather than an "expert"-"advice receiver" relationship. This is why I tend to pay special attention to the formation of that relationship in order to help others explore what matters to them and engage in those values in the face of mental health barriers. I have been able to work with individuals that find themselves struggling with lasting impacts of trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal concerns, and life transitions.

We are a group of therapists who specialize in anxiety, teens, and sensitive people. EMDR trained, IFS, body-centered somatic psychotherapy. We specialize in teens, young adults and adults. We also have group therapy with an art focus.

I am a pre-licensed therapist working toward licensure. I've spent over 500 hours with clients in my graduate program and am currently growing my own caseload at Maitri Counseling Collective. My work is anchored in compassion and curiosity and my goal is to support my clients as they get to know themselves better. I am experienced in working with family dynamics, ADHD, anxiety, depression, body image, and faith deconstruction.

Here’s a quick bit of information about my education, and areas of focus. I graduated from University of Louisville with Masters in Couple’s and Family Therapy, as well as Social Work. The majority of my training is in family systems therapy. In short, that means I believe all things function as a system and are interconnected. My approach to therapy is person centered, informal, and conversational. I believe it’s important to look at the whole picture, instead of solely placing the weight of the problem on one person. I also enjoy looking at Mind- Body- Spirit connection, which in my opinion tends to promote overall well-being. My focuses areas are: daily stressors, Depression, Anxiety, Life Adjustments, Relational concerns, etc. Some of the techniques I pull from frequently are: CBT,DBT, Distress Dis-tolerance( Mindfulness), IFS, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, and motivational interviewing. Therapy is not a one size fit all. It’s important that the time you spend in session is designed for you. My work with you is tailored to you. My goal in session is to collaborate with you on your desired plan. I see myself as an assistant/ collaborator to helping you turn over the pieces in your life that need your attention. Therapy is the space and time where you are given the opportunity to be who you are. It is the space for you to be accepted and validate in a safe environment.

As a former high school teacher, I have helped adolescents as they transition into adulthood. Now as a therapist, I enjoy working with individuals and couples through transitions of all kinds. I can help navigate the big life changes adolescents face, issues within family dynamics (family and marital issues), and issues that come with career changes and aging. I am an excellent resource for those suffering with anxiety, depression and BPD, especially those newly diagnosed with BPD. I am here to listen non-judgmentally and cheerlead you in your progress and growth while providing you skills and tools to get there. I use a skill-based approach to help clients learn and grow in their emotional wellness. I also incorporate a lot of mindfulness as clients learn to name and express their emotions. Finally, I love exploring spirituality (regardless of belief system) and incorporating this into treatment. Above all, I am here to listen. Sometimes we simply need someone who is in our corner and I hope to be that for you. I am queer-affirming and available to new clients, both in-person and virtually. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to get scheduled.

Welcome! My name is Kasey Wiggam and I'm an LCSW operating in-person on Indy's North-Side & virtually to all of IN and FL. My goal is to assist teens, young adults, women, and the LGBTQ+ community in pursuing self-healing. I want to support you in building healthier relationships, finding school-life balance, and working through whatever struggles brought you to this point! We will work together to get you to a place where you are able to recognize and cope with the burdens of anxiety, life transitions, depression, burnout, relationships, self-harm/suicidal ideation and the long term effects of trauma and sexual assault. Every client is unique and deserves a tailored approach to reflect that! I combine various therapy modalities such as brainspotting, trauma-focused CBT, relational therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment styles to suit your needs and journey. I live for seeing others work through what's been holding them back. I enjoy helping people bring change to what they're most ashamed of or scared to work through. I have a knack for genuinely connecting with those that I work with, so it feels like you are talking to a real person, who not only "gets" you – but who truly sees you. Reach out today!

​Most people come to counseling either feeling stuck in their present situation or in significant emotional pain. Our ambition is to help you resolve or learn ways to better manage your concern(s) in a safe and experiential environment. Our clinical orientation is one that focuses on the awareness thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, and how these impact the distress a person is experiencing. It would be a great privilege to join you during this time in your life. Be confident that your therapeutic work is of great value to us, and it is our mission to support you in a nonjudgmental, culturally-sensitive, and caring manner.

College is awesome, but it can be really tough, too. Juggling school with the rest of your life--work, family, friends, relationships--can take a toll on your mental health. Anxiety, stress, depression, and even suicidal thoughts are not uncommon, but you don't have to navigate them alone. My internship was at IUPUI CAPS, and I have lots of experience as an advisor and adjunct professor, so I know better than most how stressful college can be. I'd love to help you turn down the volume in your mind and move toward the life you want.

* ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Over the course of our lives, we experience life changes and unexpected events. Therapy is a place where one can process and adjust to these transitions and events. Through my education and experience, I have learned how to help clients work through these changes. Therapy will not only help one learn skills during this time of adjustment, but it will also help one learn how they can utilize these skills and strengths when they need them in the future. Over the past few years, through practicums and work experience, I have learned how to help clients across many populations adjust to life's changes. Please call or email with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and how we can work together to help you move forward.
