Emma DeHart

I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adolescents & adults! I believe therapy should feel empowering, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

My approach is warm, open-minded, & nonjudgmental. I want you to feel safe being your full self in session, and I aim to meet you where you are while helping you grow in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable!

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Purdue University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from IUPUI, with a focus on addiction and mental health. My professional background includes two years in an outpatient mental health setting and one year working in residential treatment for substance use disorders. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how complex mental health can be—and how important it is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I enjoy helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths. My style is collaborative and flexible, and I like to be creative in sessions when it’s helpful—whether that’s through reflective exercises, visual tools, or thinking outside the box to help things “click.”

You can expect therapy with me to feel supportive, honest, & tailored to you. I believe you already have what it takes to grow and heal, & my role is to help you access that power in a way that feels good and authentic. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with compassion while helping you build real-life skills, I’d be honored to work with you.

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming space where we focus on getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, & any important parts of your story that you feel comfortable sharing. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—this session is about understanding you, your needs, and what support might look like for you.

I’ll also ask some questions about your mental health history, current challenges, & strengths so we can start building a plan that feels right for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and clearer about what therapy with me could look like. You can expect warmth, openness, & collaboration—this is your space, and we’ll move at a pace that feels good for you.
