You’ve held it together for everyone else. Who holds it for you?
I’m Carissa, an award-winning Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified EMDR Therapist in Indianapolis specializing in trauma therapy for children, teens, and adults. If you feel like you can never relax or slow down, your mind is constantly running, you worry about disappointing people, or you wonder why you can’t simply “move on”, you’re in the right place. I specialize in helping people like you work through painful experiences, so you can move forward without feeling like your past is controlling your future.
- Anxiety and overthinking that never fully switch off
- Burnout from always pushing through and pleasing everyone
- Painful past memories or experiences that still hijack the present
- Chronic physical symptoms related to stress
- A quiet voice that whispers “I’m not enough”
Here’s the good news: You’re not alone. You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong. You don’t have to know whether EMDR is right for you. You don’t have to know what kind of therapy you need. You just have to be willing to start a conversation. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to share what’s bringing you here, ask questions, and see whether we’re a good fit. There’s a path toward deeper, more sustainable healing that doesn’t require you to push harder to get there.

Live more freely
You live with calmer days, steadier confidence, and tools that translate to real life.
You Don’t Have to Wait Until It Gets Worse.
You’ve thought about reaching out. Then you’ve talked yourself out of it. “I’m not struggling enough.” “I should be able to handle this.” “I’ll reach out if it gets worse.” “I don’t even know what I’d say.” But you don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart.
You can bring the anxiety, the overthinking, the exhaustion, the intrusive thoughts, the relationship struggles, the painful memories or simply the feeling that something needs to change.
Reaching out for help isn’t admitting defeat. It’s choosing to stop doing everything the hardest way possible.
When you’re ready—or even just ready enough— let’s take the first step together.
