ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Merrillville, IN

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!

I'm a licensed clinical mental health therapist that specializes in healing depression, anxiety, PTSD, disruptive behaviors, childhood trauma and various personality disorders. I have extensive experience with adolescent and family therapy but also work with wide range of age groups.

We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.

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.

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV.

My name is Holly Bowling and I am a Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my nursing career in 2012 after graduating from Ball State University. I have had the opportunity to work in many disciplines where I was able to utilize my knowledge and skills required to provide for those with mental health issues, specifically, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, allowing me the opportunity to continue pursuing my career, in mental health.

Hi, my name is Oliver O’Daniel (he/they), I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana and have been working with clients since 2020. I have a passion for working with people who want to reduce stress, heal from trauma, abuse, and/or addiction, and find meaningful skills and outlets to move forward in their life. My goal is to help a person understand what nourishes their mind, body and soul and learn to find joy again through building a life that has resources for yourself, your household, and your community. Whether you’re looking for focused solutions or a broad range of struggles in life, take the leap and try therapy.

I have training experience in the American Society of Addiction Medicine, peer support training, matrix model of addiction training, and try to be gender inclusive focused. I prefer a sensory friendly modality that works for you.

I am 6+ years sober from substances and found meaning in helping others find healing after addiction and trauma. I hope to help people in the LGBTQIA+ community of all walks of life. If this sounds like a path you want to take, let's get you scheduled.

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.

Are you or a loved one overwhelmed with anxiety, feeling down, or lacking motivation or confidence? Many of my clients are dealing with thoughts, feelings, and memories that won’t go away. Often, they struggle to make sense of and communicate their thoughts and feelings. I specialize in helping people face life's challenges, find new ways to cope, and improve their relationships. You are not alone. Together, we can work to better understand and manage the challenges you're facing.
