Hayley Craig

Hayley Craig

Therapist

Virtual • Indianapolis, IN


Hello, I’m Hayley Craig! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years as a practicing therapist and over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have worked in multiple settings like community mental health, integrated care, and group practice. Through my private practice I provide compassionate evidence-based care.

I believe therapy should be a space clients feel safe enough to be bravely honest and themselves. I provide a warm, down-to-earth environment that helps clients feel comfortable and understood. I enjoy working with teens and adults navigating disordered eating, self-worth, life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges, with a growing focus on maternal and perinatal mental health. I am currently pursuing perinatal mental health certification to better support patients during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Bianca Gist

Bianca Gist

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.

I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.

If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.

Dr. Donna Peters

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Chesterton, IN


Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and it is completely natural to have questions or feel uncertain about where to begin. You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Therapy offers a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I believe that healing begins in a safe, compassionate, and respectful relationship. Your story, experiences, and goals matter, and I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, or other emotional struggles, we will work together to better understand what you are experiencing and create a path forward that feels meaningful and manageable.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Indianapolis, IN

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Indianapolis starts with care that affirms your identity and fits your goals. Look for a therapist who clearly lists experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender identity counseling, gender dysphoria, family or relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Training in affirmative therapy, WPATH-informed care, or experience with gender-diverse clients can also signal that a therapist has relevant background beyond general mental health care.

Indianapolis has a wide range of therapists, which can make it harder to narrow your options by fit. Virtual therapy can expand access to affirming care, especially if nearby offices, commute time, or scheduling limit your choices. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and work with LGBTQIA+ communities.

Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
