Hello, my name is Elizabeth Forbes and I go by Libby. First, I want to say, you are so brave to take this step to take care of you! Thank you! You matter, you qualify, and you are worthy!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). I have spent 12 years in home-based work serving high conflict/high risk individuals and families utilizing the Functional Family Therapy model.

My philosophy is, “If we each are better then that is better, and we then are all better.” I have always embraced and enjoyed helping others. I work to meet you right where you are. From there, we work together to explore where you want to go.

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.

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.

As a social work professional, I've worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and socioeconomic status.
