Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

Hi! My name is Katelyn Downs and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I currently am specialized in working with clients who are struggling with issues such as unprocessed trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, and general stress/life transitions. I especially enjoy and have extensive training in working with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of trauma. I can help you develop coping skills to reduce the symptoms you may be having, build healthy relationships and attachments, process thoughts and memories you may be avoiding or have never talked through before, meet goals for personally and educationally, and always meet you with non-judgmental compassion. I do my best to help ease your anxiety as I know that first session can be stressful and you may be skeptical or unsure what to expect. Know that you experience in therapy is what YOU want it to be, and I am only a guide to assist you in creating the life you want and deserve.
