ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Bloomington, IN

Hello! I am glad to meet you and look forward to being part of your personal journey. First, a little about me and who you will be meeting.

I am a native of Southeastern North Carolina and graduated from Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology. I transplanted to Louisville, KY in 1991 and pursued my Masters in Social Work Degree at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. Between my early education, continued training and lived experiences, I am able to guide you to explore the mind, body, spirit connection.

I have experience working with all ages but most of my career has involved working with youth and their families.

I have a lot of experience addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, LGBTQIA issues and parent/child problems and behavior issues. I have a growing interest in the area of women's health issues.

Trauma therapist by trade, cryptid art nymph by spirit. I help children, teens, and adults process trauma, regulate their nervous systems, and stop letting one intrusive thought ruin their entire week. Equal parts evidence-based practice and “have you considered drinking water before the emotional collapse?”

Outside of therapy, I’m a pet parent, artist, recovering perfectionist, and emotionally attached to watercolor tortoises for reasons I cannot explain. My personality exists somewhere between “mindfulness workbook” and “feral raccoon holding a therapy degree.”

My goal? Helping people heal without losing the parts of themselves that make them human. Also maybe convincing at least one client to unclench their jaw today.

Grace and hope are at the heart of the work I do. I believe that positive change is possible, and I’m here to help you take meaningful steps toward feeling more balanced and confident in your daily life.

I work with adults in individual therapy seeking support for everyday challenges such as stress, life transitions, parenting, and personal growth. My approach is solution-focused, which means we will work together to identify practical tools and strategies you can begin using right away. Whether you are adjusting to a new role, improving communication, or building healthier habits, I aim to provide support that feels both encouraging and effective.

For clients who value Christian faith as part of their journey, I also offer the option to incorporate prayer and spiritual practices into our work together.

My goal is to create a supportive and focused space where you can build skills, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency call 911 or go to your nearest ER. Should you need intensive therapy lasting longer than 8 weeks due to your specific need, local in person mental health therapy is the best fit for your counseling needs. Likewise, severe and/or frequently severe mental health needs are best served in an in person mental health therapeutic setting. Clients needing intense therapy, court ordered therapy, therapy dealing with legal related issues of any kind, or custody involved therapy are best served by local in person mental health providers and resources.

I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years of experience. My concentration was originally in Mental Health and Addiction with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Indiana University. I have additional training in Trauma Focused Behavioral Health, Specialized Treatment for Women of all ages including such areas as Post-partum Depression, and Intimate Partner Violence along with focused treatment for adolescents and adults with other mental health issues such as ADHD, and Anger.

Great to meet you!

As a board certified Psychotherapist, I believe in prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts so congratulations on taking that step.

My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

Welcome ! I’m grateful you're considering therapy and taking this important step toward your well-being, With over 20 years of experience and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Ball State University, I've had the privilege of working with clients navigating a wide range of concerns-from ADHD, Autism diagnostic assessments to Women's health issues and beyond.

Welcome. I am pleased to meet with you and offer you the space and opportunity to embark on this path of healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, authorized to practice in both Kentucky and Indiana. My approach is compassionate and centered on you, as your well-being is my top priority. I strive to incorporate kindness, humility, and a personal touch into our sessions, fostering an environment that encourages you to smile and recognize your self-worth.

My experience has afforded me the privilege of conducting in-person therapy and telehealth with a diverse range of individuals, from students to residents in nursing homes. My encounters with trauma-related events have heightened my sensitivity to those who often feel unheard. Families, children, and individuals each possess their own uniqueness, frequently emerging from fractured and dysregulated homes. What is abnormal for them often becomes their new normal as they transition into adulthood. I have assisted a variety of individuals in their quest for self-understanding, including those mourning the loss of a loved one or individuals grappling with the pressures of daily life and the remnants of past trauma they have concealed.

Life presents challenges and offers no assurances; therefore, it is essential to grant yourself the time and space to breathe. There will be no judgments, no blame, and no demands. This is a space for you to express yourself openly, as you truly possess the keys to your own happiness. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
