I’m Dr. Michelle S. McBride, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MBA, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Rush University in Chicago, IL.

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.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.

help patients find hope in adversity. I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.

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.

I am a BIPOC and queer-affirming licensed psychologist who is still in love with this work, 20 years in!

Life is full of traumatic events and we all have been traumatized to a certain degree. We are the only ones who can define it and we are all impacted differently by it. For many of us, our trauma negatively impacts our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Having a negative core belief system often leads to substance abuse and other maladaptive behavior as a means to numb our pain and drown our shame. I have spent years working with individuals who struggle with substance use and addiction and have come to learn that the majority of them have suffered from trauma. You do not have to continue to suffer. I am here to help.

Hi! I'm Jan, a therapist with over 14 years of experience. I can help you with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, career, ADHD, and childhood trauma. I understand how deeply these challenges can impact your life, as I’ve navigated similar paths myself. I’m here to offer a nurturing, safe space where your experiences are validated, and your voice is truly heard. Together, we’ll move beyond empathy toward meaningful solutions that fit your life—even if you have a busy schedule. To make healing accessible, I offer telehealth options along with afternoon and evening office hours.

My passion is working with the LGBTQIA+ community, women, young adults, and marginalized folx because they often struggle in ways that society fails to understand. (Please note, my practice generally focuses on clients other than cisgender, heterosexual men.)

My clients are often those who feel alone, sad, or are struggling to find their "people." Maybe you feel unhappy but aren't sure what your next steps should be. Or you feel stuck because of trauma or mood issues, and you're ready to get help because you can't do it alone anymore.

Have you been in a toxic romantic relationship that has made you feel small or worthless?

I specialize in helping you navigate the healing journey after a toxic relationship. Together, we’ll gently explore the underlying patterns and emotional wounds that led to these cycles, creating a safe space for you to process the past. By prioritizing your emotional recovery, you can reclaim your sense of self, restore your inner peace, and rediscover your confidence from the inside out.

Your story is your own, and I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, meeting you with empathy exactly where you are in your journey. As your supportive guide, I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges, fostering a deeper connection to yourself and helping you uncover your unique sense of purpose.
