Therapists for college students near 46202
I work with clients who are going through life or identity transitions and for those feel alone, anxious, depressed, haunted by their past, or trapped in their tangled thoughts. I also specialize in personality disorders and/or religious trauma. Education on social justice issues, including racial, cultural, LGBTQ+, and religious differences, is a top priority for me. Not all human experiences can be expressed verbally, so I am trained in both traditional talk therapy and offer art therapy as well. My guidance typically involves reframing thoughts, building assertiveness, identifying/managing emotions, trauma-informed care, harm reduction models, and processing experiences. I am also one of the only therapists in Indiana who identifies as a pagan and secular provider. If you are looking for a non-religious therapist who understands growing up in a religious environment, reach out!
I offer a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment in helping you to effectively resolve issues that are troubling you.

I emphasize respect, authenticity, and compassion for self and others. I believe you are the author of your story, and that together we can help you grow and flourish so that you are able to thrive and achieve your goals. I bring experience working in high school, university, community mental health, and veterans’ affairs settings. I have helped people with a variety of life issues, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma recovery, substance use, grief/loss, self-harming behaviors, gender/sexuality concerns, and personality disorders. I offer short- and long-term therapy. I work with individuals across the lifespan from diverse backgrounds including race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I am the owner and sole provider at Moonstone Psychological Services, LLC in the beautiful Village of WestClay in Carmel, IN.

Landmark Counseling is a self-pay Telehealth counseling practice serving those anywhere within the state of Indiana. Colleges and university settings bring their own unique challenges to a student's mental health. For 11 years (prior to private practice), I worked in University Mental Health, and served as the Director of a University-based Counseling Center.

By partnering with an experienced counselor who can share insights and guide your journey, you can move towards the life you envision. Counseling can be part of an important landmark in your life, marking a turning point in your growth and healing journey. Whether you are seeking to become a healthier version of yourself, navigate through a challenging situation, find balance between work and life, or process painful grief and trauma, we are happy to help!
Is life lifein? If you have made it this far that indicates that the answer is YES! I’ve been where you are. I’ve been saddened, confused, hopeless, and felt no sense of direction. You’re not alone in this journey. I STRUGGLED my first few years of school. I was homesick, felt lost, and alone. One of the best decisions I have made and that you can make for yourself is the decision to seek the proper help
Hi there, I'm Briana and I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in the state of Indiana. Wondering if we are the right fit? Ask yourself these questions. Do you feel spread too thin, like ice on the verge of breaking? Do you feel like you have to "do it all," which leaves you overwhelmed and stressed? Are your relationships, responsibilities, or feelings being put on the back burner? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Sometimes, do you feel like you just want to run away? If you answered yes to any of these, we might be a good fit. I help many clients with these types of challenges. I approach my work with compassion and with an understanding that many people have underlying experiences with trauma and unmet childhood needs, which we will make space for processing in our sessions. Together, we will work to reduce your inner critic by seeking an understanding of all aspects of yourself, including the painful parts. We will work to discover why they exist and how you can regain control over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, all while building on your current strengths and resilience. I empower young people and adults to develop the strengths and tools they already have within themselves to address the stressors of life. Together, we will look at the whole picture to identify what you can change, what you can let go of, and what you can move forward with. Seeking help can feel scary, but you are in the right place. This is a safe space to explore your needs and wants, so you can become the best version of yourself. Whether you are coming here with general overwhelm, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, mood swings, attention deficits, or relationship challenges, I'm here to help.
Meet Kelli Jones – Helping College Students Find Calm, Clarity, and Confidence College life can be exciting, but it can also be a lot—deadlines, exams, friendships, dating, family expectations, jobs, and figuring out your future.

Kelli is a warm, approachable therapist who specializes in helping college students navigate the challenges and changes of this unique stage of life. She knows that your college years aren’t just about academics—they’re about learning who you are, finding your place in the world, and handling the pressures that come with new independence. In her sessions, Kelli creates a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind—whether that’s stress about classes, feeling disconnected, navigating relationship ups and downs, or just feeling “off.” She blends compassion with practical strategies so you not only feel heard and understood, but also leave each session with tools you can use right away. Kelli especially loves working with students to: Manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm Build confidence and self-esteem Navigate changes in friendships, dating, and family life Cope with homesickness or big life transitions Create healthier routines and boundaries Find balance between academics, work, and personal well-being Students often say Kelli has a calming, encouraging presence that makes it easier to open up—even about tough topics.

Presence and accompaniment matter. Relationships transform. We can more easily connect to our true self and touch emotional distress in the presence of another's settled nervous system. Neurobiology and mindfulness science has proven that the human brain can be distraught while simultaneously observing the self with compassion. The ability to be both experiencing and holding the experience is the key to maintaining calm when facing challenges. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxiety, anger, depression, or find yourself reacting in ways that leave you feeling alone and hurt, we can come to be with all of it with gentle awareness and respect. Utilizing attuned presence and offering stabilizing mind-body approaches, I support clients in restoring and strengthening connection with themselves and the world around them. It is in the warmth of healthy relationship that we offer our brains the ability to rewire. Our journey will allow space for joy, for pain, for greater self awareness and compassion. Restoring balance, re-engaging with connection, and igniting wisdom through awareness is possible. Please visit my website to schedule your free, 15 minute initial consultation. I look forward to meeting and walking alongside you.

It's been some time since you felt like you. Have you noticed that you been withdrawn? Overwhelmed? Maybe you are noticing that your feelings of being down, sad, worried, or anxious just aren't going away.

Through engaging in counseling we will assist you in accomplishing your goals. We believe that each of us encounters our own challenges in the course of creating a full life and that through partnering with a helping professional the path of improving your own wellness may be a bit brighter.

You are trying to hold it all together, but just can’t take it anymore. You’ve hit your breaking point and don’t know what to do. Self-doubt, over-thinking everything, questioning what will make you happy. It seems like everyone else has it figured out, but you can't get it together. This is supposed to be the best time of your life, but you can't seem to enjoy it, and you need help. My name is Jennifer Branstetter, and I help students who are struggling and overwhelmed with their mental health. It might be hard to keep up with school, and maybe this is the first time you've ever struggled academically and you're wondering if something's wrong with you. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, or ADHD symptoms can interfere with forming friendships or having the "college experience" and maybe you're questioning if you made the right school choice. Maybe you aren't connecting socially or feel like you fit in. Sometimes the transition to college can be a lot harder than expected, or something like a breakup can throw you for a loop. It's common for students in this situation to feel an immense amount of pressure. Sometimes it feels like you can't talk to anyone else about it. Therapy can be a place to get it all out, figure out what is contributing to the problem, and come up with a plan to get better. It's time to get some support. You don't have to do this alone. My practice has been virtual since 2018 from my home office in Southeast Indiana, outside of Cincinnati. I see people in Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. If you have a therapist at home, I'd be happy to connect with them to make the transition easier, and stay on the same page if you see them on breaks. I can also help connect you with on-campus resources or medication providers if needed. Reach out to schedule a call to see if we're a good fit.

What’s keeping you stuck? Are you struggling to understand why relationships keep failing or why your job or school is depleting you?
