Safe Haven Counseling, located in southwest Indianapolis, IN, offers a viable private practice alternative to traditional outpatient offices for those whose needs do not warrant crisis care. With a comfortable setting and personalized services, I offer my clients the opportunity to fully explore their concerns in an accepting, inclusive atmosphere and make lasting personal changes in order to thrive, not just survive, in their chosen endeavors.
A key component of my work is helping each individual identify self-negating and self-defeating thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, recognize how often they exhibit them, and learn to replace them with more effective, affirming alternatives. In addition to mindfulness of thought and deed, I also specialize in teaching a variety of techniques for reducing stress and calming mind, body, and spirit, promoting a repertoire of self-help skills that enhance and maintain treatment gains. Each client is considered an active participant in their own growth, selecting treatment options according to their own needs, interests, values, and lifestyles.
Reiki, pronounced “Ray-kee,” a specialized technique for reducing stress stored in the body and enhancing one’s sense of well-being, is available with or without participation in counseling services as desired. You will find more information about Reiki under its own tab on this site, with costs listed under “Rates.”
It is my experience that many clients seeking counseling also report having lost their sense of self and purpose in life, some indicating a lifelong struggle with these constructs. In order to maximize self-care and self-expression, I encourage clarification of individual identity, needs/ wants, values, and life goals throughout treatment for individuals seeking to undertake this journey as part of their counseling experience.
On the next several pages you will find additional information about specific issues I help treat, treatment modalities by which to address them, as well as costs, insurance, etc. If you need additional information and/or are interested in beginning services at Safe Haven Counseling, I invite you to contact me now.
