LGBT therapists in Indiana

Empathetic, but will challenge one to become the best version of themselves. My years of experience afford me a good insight into various mental health disorders. I have worked with diverse populations extensively. I utilize humor to help make the counseling environment warm, fun and engaging.

I have 10+ years of experience doing this work. I'm naturally drawn to people, and bring curiosity regarding your story- diversity of background, personalities, and identities. My special interests include supporting neurodivergence, being queer, going through separations, transitions, and grief- I've worked collaboratively with families, couples, kids, and everybody in between- in schools, in private practice, and a nonprofit I'm passionate about. I'd love to hear your story and empower it.

Hi there! I am a licensed counselor in both Indiana and Minnesota. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest in 2022 with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling, and have worked in community mental health, substance use recovery, and private practice settings since. I enjoy working with adults through various circumstances, issues, or symptoms, and utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and EMDR interventions during sessions.

I work with individuals who are often seen as strong, capable, and self-aware, yet internally may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, grief, or a persistent sense of being stuck. Many of the people I work with have tried therapy before and are looking for something deeper—an approach that helps them not just cope, but truly understand and transform what they are carrying.

As part of my practice, I am accompanied in the office by my professionally trained service dog, Mila. Mila is present to assist with my medical needs while I provide therapy. Many clients find their presence calming and comforting, though their primary role is to support my health so I can continue providing high-quality care.

My work integrates EMDR, existential-humanistic therapy, and depth psychology to help clients process difficult experiences, understand the patterns shaping their lives, and reconnect with their own resilience. I have particular experience supporting those navigating loss, serious illness, caregiver stress, and major life transitions, as well as professionals who carry significant responsibility for others.

My style is warm, engaged, thoughtful, and collaborative, while also being direct when needed. I believe meaningful therapy involves both feeling deeply understood and being gently challenged toward growth. Together, we work to build insight, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of agency so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision and consultation to therapists and other helping professionals working in high-stress environments, particularly those connected to grief, trauma, and end-of-life care.

If you are looking for therapy that is thoughtful, compassionate, depth-oriented, and focused on lasting change, I would be honored to work with you.

I’m Lisa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who blends humor, compassion, and curiosity to create a safe space for growth. I serve adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or identity questions. My goal is to help you work with your brain—not against it—so you can dig deeper, embrace self-acceptance, and move toward a more authentic, balanced life.
