“People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou

As a therapist, I believe that the space in which you heal is of great importance. I strive to create a safe and supportive space for the healing process. We all have strengths, and I am here to help you acknowledge them as you begin to heal and grow in the direction you choose. I have a personal mantra to help others see their value, dignity, and worth.

Through my experience as a mental health and addictions counselor, I have had the pleasure of working with adults and teens who are working toward recovery of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. In addition to individual therapy, I have experience providing family and group therapies. In my 11 years in the social work field, I have provided these services in an office, community, hospital, and residential setting.

I believe in providing a collaborative and strengths-based approach when creating treatment goals and areas of focus for recovery. Being collaborative, I am able to tailor treatment to styles and modalities that fit your needs such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing of Trauma. I will help you explore issues and develop solutions in a safe and supportive environment.

If you have identified a need for support to help sort through the unmanageable in your life and would like a collaborative partner in the process, come talk with me. Together, we will work to develop the tools and skills you need to heal and recover in the manner you choose.

Lacy Wells, MSW, LCSW

Therapist

I have always wanted to help others and provide them with hope. Through my role as a therapist I am able to collaborate with individuals and families on identifying treatment goals, increasing coping skills, and learning techniques to regulate emotions. I provide people with a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where they can share their thoughts and feelings. I worked for many years in early childhood education before completing my Graduate degree to become a Licensed Social Worker. I have experience working with young children, adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use, as well as couples and families that are working to build better relationships. As a mother to two very busy daughters and a wife to my husband of 10 years, I understand fully how overwhelming it can be to juggle work, parenting, and family life. Let me help you in finding ways to balance your life by finding peace, improving overall wellness, and increasing happiness in relationships.

Rachel Wade, MSW, LSW

Therapist

Mental health and therapy are personal and should be custom tailored to your needs, experiences, and life. You are the expert when it comes to your pain, sadness, or overwhelm. My job is to help you put words to the confusing and knotted mess we sometimes feel inside. Then, I can help connect you to the answers you intuitively know and untangle the solution.

I have primarily worked in community mental health, where I have had the pleasure to connect people from all walks of life, specifically those with addictions and co-occurring mental illness. I have experience with children and I have a passion for working with individuals, relationships and families of all types. I am inclusive of all. I also have significant experience with mental health and trauma with first responders (e.g. military).

I have a passion for neuroscience and love sharing how this impacts our mental health in a way that makes sense. Identifying your physical and/or unconscious reaction to trauma is a key part of therapy for me, so I try to incorporate recognizing how your body feels during times of stress. I'd love the opportunity to help cultivate the healthiest, whole version of you!

Abby Elsey, MSW, LSW

Therapist

Taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical
health. I provide a safe and confidential space to express yourself and learn the coping
skills that are needed to improve your daily life. Life is a journey of ups and downs that
can sometimes knock us off track or be too much to handle on our own. That is why I
chose to provide therapeutic services, to be that hand for someone to hold while they
get back on their feet and learn the coping skills needed to continue on their journey.
I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field and graduated
from IUPUI with my Master’s in Social Work to work towards my LCSW. I have
experience providing individual, family, addictions and couple’s therapy. I spent many
years working in the schools with children and teens as well as out in the community
with families. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed therapy and
motivational interviewing while working with clients.
I have two children of my own and finished school later in life. So I understand
the hecticness of full time school, full time work and children all at once. Finding that
right balance for your family and for yourself is something I have first hand experience
with and an understanding I can bring to any parents I work with. When choosing a
therapist it is good to feel comfortable with that person and to feel that you are heard
and understood. While working with my clients, my first priority is to provide an
environment where you feel heard, safe and not judged. From there we will work as a
team to develop your treatment goals and your expectations of treatment.

"We can't hate ourselves into a version of ourselves we can love." - Lori Deschene

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am then I can change." -Carl Rogers

Human beings are remarkable, complex, and come with no instruction manual. The answers you need are inside you. They may be covered up with fears, myths, and other people's pain that taught you to doubt your ability to adapt and overcome challenges. In fact, you have already survived every challenge that has ever come your way.

My approach to therapy comes from what I learned while overcoming trauma and addiction myself. Once the tools are in place, taking life as it comes transitions into an exercise in appreciating your strength rather than being stuck in problems.

The tools I found were in many schools of therapeutic approach including Cognitive/Behavioral, Dialectical/Behavioral, Cognitive Processing, Solution and Reality Focus, Gestalt, and most recently EMDR that we will use to help you reconnect the body and mind to solutions and adaptation.

"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here." - Max Ehrman

Be good to you!
