Grief counselors and therapists in Indiana

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel big, and I’m here to make it as welcoming and grounded as possible. With over 13 years of experience in medical healthcare and over 7 years in mental healthcare, I bring a unique blend of mind-body awareness to our sessions.

I have a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and many post-graduate certifications specializing in trauma and grief, including EMDR and Compassionate Bereavement Care.

I received my first counseling license in 2015 in Indiana and my License as a Professional Counselor in Texas in 2017. I am EMDR trained. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autsim.

I use a four- fold approach to treating beyond traditional psychotherapy to help you on your journey. I have PhD in Clinical psychology, two master's degree (one in community counseling, one in community psychology). I also have a degree in Addictions and one in business management. Having worked every level of care from an inpatient hospital setting, residential long-term care, in a jail, a prison, out-patient levels for intensive three times per week to one time per week and taught in two universities. I am working my favorite level of care on an out-patient setting. Training has been in addictions, mental health, couples and family systems. I have other specialties with chronic pain and nutrition/bariatrics and obesity and available to provide medical and court evaluations with limited testing. I see children from 12 and up and adults/geriatrics.

I am a licensed psychologist since 2017 and have worked in a range of settings consisting of inpatient psychiatric facilities, community mental health, private practice, and nursing and rehabilitation facilities. I have served clients with wide a range of diversities (race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and socio-economic status).

I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, teens and families. I am licensed in IN and also have training in trauma-informed therapy.

My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

I’m an Indiana and Michigan Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm. As a fully virtual provider, I offer flexible, confidential online therapy to clients across Michigan.
