Grief counselors and therapists in Bloomington, IN

Hello, and welcome. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, fulfillment, or passion? Do you feel misunderstood by the people around you, or find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you want things to change but are unsure where to begin.

“It is okay not to be okay.” Life’s unexpected challenges can leave us feeling emotionally exhausted, uncertain, and alone. You do not have to navigate those experiences by yourself. I provide a private, safe, and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building greater self-awareness, healing, and resilience.

My name is Brenda Hardin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of professional experience. I am licensed in Indiana, New Jersey, and Virginia. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process that creates space for healing, personal growth, and meaningful change.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions.

Hello, I'm glad you're here! I have been a practicing Social Worker for 15 years in a variety of clinical settings. I chose to become a licensed clinician to better serve the mental health needs that are present in our daily lives. Whether you are looking for big changes or managing daily life stressors; I look forward to assisting with whatever your current needs are!

My clients seek to understand and accept themselves and their life experiences. Together we will explore how your past is impacting your present, so you can ultimately move toward a better future.

I work with individuals, couples and families from an attachment and systems perspective, knowing we experience many wounds through relationships but through the right relationships we can also experience healing.

It is important in my work that I allow the client's cultural context inform my treatment.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who is deeply committed to helping individuals heal, grow and reconnect with themselves. I specialize in working with clients navigating trauma, anxiety and overwhelming life experiences, and I provide a safe, supportive, and affirming space where you can feel heard without judgement.

I proudly offer an LGBTQ+ affirming environment and welcome individuals of all identities and backgrounds. I understand that experience related to identity, safety, and belonging can deeply impact mental health and I strive to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself.
