Grief counselors and therapists in South Bend, IN

As a Clinical Psychologist, I have worked with adults navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, job stressors, and substance use. Whether you’re coping with something acute or seeking long-term personal growth, therapy can help you develop insight and resilience.

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!"

I've spent over a decade working with people who are fighting battles most people don't talk about — addiction, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, and the anxiety and depression that come along for the ride. I'm not here to give you a five-step plan. I'm here to be the person who genuinely gives a damn about what you're carrying. I've learned a lot from the great therapists, yoga teachers, and people in recovery who shaped my own life — and my whole purpose is giving that back. I also teach yoga, which means I don't just talk about mindfulness — I live it. Morning, evening, and weekend slots available. Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and Carelon accepted.

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.

I believe that mental health is an important part of overall health and happiness. Each person has the ability to commit to and foster positive change in their lives. I always strive to work with each client as an individual, fostering their strengths and building healthy coping skills, insight, and empowering courage for change. I am passionate about women's health and issues. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

I have extensive experience in working with families, children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma, both acute and chronic, as well as grief and loss, stress and anxiety, as well as other behavioral health issues.

I speak Haitian Creole!
