Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

My goal is to help you develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I draw from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapy approaches to create a space that feels safe, compassionate, and tailored to you. Together, we’ll work to understand your experiences, develop new coping strategies, strengthen your resilience, and help you move toward the life you want. I believe therapy works best when it’s a partnership—one where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Life can be difficult. Counseling shouldn’t be. When you’re struggling to cope with the challenges in your life, starting therapy is a courageous step toward change. In a complex world, we believe in straightforward, compassionate support. If you are feeling out of balance or in distress, it can feel defeating to reach out for help and be met with unreturned calls, waitlists, or therapists who are not taking new clients. Not addressing your issues with a professional can often lead to an increase of symptoms while you wait for your first appointment. We believe that you shouldn’t have to go through this alone. At Counseling Simplified, we help you feel better. We have no waitlists, evening and weekend appointments, and many of our therapists can see you within a week of your first contact. We make the process easy because we understand that you don’t need any more stress. At Counseling Simplified, we meet you where you are at and help you heal. At Counseling Simplified, we value your unique experiences and guide our sessions with genuine curiosity and we continually expand our areas of expertise to meet diverse needs. Counseling is our passion. We will assist you in feeling more connected, motivated and dialed into life. Book your appointment now with one of our therapists to get started.

I'm Chelsea Horn, owner and founder of Wild Haven Counseling. I’ve been practicing as a licensed mental health counselor since 2018. My passion lies in helping adults and college students navigate life transitions, develop strengths, and find meaning and purpose. I’m skilled in treating anxiety, perfectionism, imposter feelings and self-doubt, depression, binge eating, and body image issues. In the therapy room, I combine evidence-based practices with a touch of humor and humanity. I see therapy as a space where the focus is entirely on you, where you can reflect on your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover what brings you joy and fulfillment. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for real change. My style is collaborative and conversational; I offer input and perspective, but I also recognize that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll identify goals that feel meaningful to you. I often encourage clients to practice new skills outside of sessions, which helps build confidence and momentum in daily life. I also take a holistic approach to mental health, considering how emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being all connect. My philosophy centers on pursuing wholeness over perfection. Growth isn’t about getting everything right, it’s about showing up for yourself, learning along the way, and taking that first step toward change.

Welcome- I am so glad you are here! My name is Jenna Hendershot, LCSW and I am based out of Bloomington, IN (Go Hoosiers!). I offer in-person and online therapy for adults, couples and families. I am passionate about creating warm, collaborative spaces where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and supported in their growth. While my approach is person centered and different for every person, I am all about making progressive change. So, if you are ready to get to work, let's do this!

Greetings! I'm here to listen and collaborate with you on your journey of self discovery by offering a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for all genders 18+. Have you lost your sense of identity, or maybe you've always struggled to trust yourself? Perhaps you just feel overwhelmed with life? Are you a pregnant student or a new parent trying to balance your roles? At your intake, we will work together to create achievable treatment goals you feel comfortable with. I engage in traditional talk therapy, but I've also found that exploring tailored creative outlets can be the antidote to automatic negative thoughts, feeling stuck, and rigid in functioning. As an Art Therapist, I would love to help you infuse creativity back into your life, in whatever form that takes. I also specialize in treating perinatal mental health. You’ve been surviving, but now it’s time to thrive! Reach out so we can chat and see if I’d be a good fit for you. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story.

If you’re someone who lies awake at night replaying your entire day—going over conversations, decisions, and moments that felt harder than they “should” have—this might be for you. Many people who reach out to me say some version of, “I’ve always felt a little different. I can get things done, but it takes so much out of me. I overthink everything, I second-guess myself constantly, and I feel overwhelmed by seemingly small things” You might lose hours to indecision, get stuck in spirals of overthinking, or feel paralyzed. Often there’s a layer of self-criticism running underneath it all—wondering why it feels so much harder for you. You may relate to a lifetime of trying to keep up, mask, or push through. What once worked doesn’t anymore. Now it can look like burnout, emotional overwhelm, difficulty regulating your energy, or feeling like your nervous system is always “on.” On the outside, you may look high-functioning, capable, and like you’re managing well—but inside you’re worn out. Therapy isn’t about something being wrong. It’s about understanding how your mind works and finding support that actually fits. We can slow things down, make sense of what’s been overwhelming, and build more ease. I also offer nature-based therapy to help calm your nervous system and create space to think more clearly.

Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is important in the healing process so I collaborate with you to develop and pursue goals along the way. We will explore ways for you to enhance self-awareness to lessen negative self thoughts and doubts

Hello :) Going to college is such an exciting time in your life. It also can be overwhelming navigating all the new experiences. If you are looking for someone who can help you find a successful transition to your new world, I can help.

Hi, I'm Heather, a licensed counselor. I specialize in Eating Disorder treatment, and I always have a heart for healing the relationship with food and your body. I also have extensive experience treating individuals with anxiety and depression, which are common for people to suffer without knowing quite how to make it better, or if that’s even possible. I'm willing to integrate spiritual faith into sessions, and will provide supportive acceptance of your belief system. I view my clients not as hopeless or crazy, but simply as genuine people going through a rough time in their life, who need a little help finding their path. With patience and understanding, I can help you find yours too, using an Adlerian framework and teaching skills grounded in DBT, ACT, and/or CBT. I am passionate to help every one of my clients let go of judgment and learn to accept themselves and their imperfections. My energy and enthusiasm for the power of positive thinking are balanced by my ability to meet you where you are with empathy and understanding. Call my office today, and Sarah will get you started!

Why does it always feel like the to-do list is never-ending and what’s done is never quite enough? You are diligent about keeping on top of things and it’s gotten you pretty far. Yet, you find yourself asking “I’m running myself ragged for this?” Work-life balance? Who has time for that! Well, you are not alone. Like you, the individuals I work with tend to be busy, successful, professionals who feel stressed, anxious, and unsatisfied and struggle with burnout and imposter syndrome. They seem like they have it all together but live in fear of dropping the ball while trying to juggle all the other ones in the air. Sound familiar? The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. I help you sort out what needs to change and how to create a life where you feel excited and fulfilled. None of that is easy, but it is doable. My approach is genuine, kind, and challenging with a bit of cheerleader because we all need a friendly push sometimes with someone encouraging us along the way. You’re busy and don’t have time or energy to spend on things that don’t work. I use evidence-based strategies customized to meet your unique needs. Together we’ll create a plan that works for you. I offer individual therapy exclusively online as well as other services such as workshops and mindfulness. Contact me for a free consultation.
