Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Fort Wayne, IN

Congratulations on taking the next step toward becoming the very best version of yourself! If you're ready to begin the work, I'd love to take the journey with you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 14 years of counseling experience and two graduate degrees in counseling. I have advanced training in approaches such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, and I tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. I specialize in supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you find healing and resilience.

I’m an easy‐going, friendly therapist who believes therapy works best when you can be your real self—no pressure, no judgment. I bring a balance of empathetic listening, humor, and practical tools into our work together. Think of it like having someone who can both sit in the hard stuff with you and help lighten the load when you need a moment to breathe. I enjoy working with: Individuals experiencing depression, stress, anxiety, life transitions; Parents and families navigating communication issues or conflict; Preteens, Teens, and young adults, elderly; Individuals healing from difficult family dynamics or patterns; Caregivers.

I believe that a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. I am a licensed therapist who has worked in a variety of settings, supporting people through some of life’s most difficult moments. I have experience working with children, adolescents, college students, and adult women. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported—while also encouraged to grow.

Hello! I’m Sabrina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health and life changes. My journey in this field began with a Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Saint Francis, followed by a Master of Social Work from IUPUI, and specialized counseling training at Marian University.

In my practice, Cardinal Rising, I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. I bring a warm, down-to-earth approach to our sessions, often incorporating creative problem-solving to help you see your challenges through a new lens. While I provide a safe space to process your emotions, I am also deeply solution-oriented; we won’t just talk about the 'why'—we will work together on the 'how' to help you move forward.

I specialize in supporting clients through:

• Anxiety and Life Transitions: Navigating the 'what's next' with confidence.
• Crisis Intervention & Safety Planning: I am specifically trained in the CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) framework.
• School-Based Concerns & Family Dynamics: Drawing on my extensive background in school-based therapy.

Whether you are looking to break old patterns or simply need a supportive space to catch your breath, I am here to help you rise to your next chapter. I look forward to working with you!"

On a personal level, I enjoy time with my teen daughters & my best friend- my little, not so little puggle dog, Rizzo. I enjoy traveling & exploring beautiful places. I also love to cook and share meals with family & friends. I am passionate about and involved with many social causes on local, national and global levels that keep me busy.
