Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

Hi! Like many therapists, I'm a 30-something cis, white woman who likes earth tones and metaphors. I especially enjoy working with individuals with mood disorders, complex trauma, chronic illness, and psychosis, as well as those who identify as artists/creatives and recovering perfectionists. I draw from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Health at Every Size (HAES), Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. However, my most impactful training has happened in conversation with clients themselves. I recognize how my identities contribute to a power differential with my clients, especially when working with marginalized populations. I work to interrupt this power differential whenever possible by being antiracist in my work and prioritizing humility and transparency. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is key to any kind of growth and change, and therefore first honor creating an authentic relationship with the clients I work with.

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.

I have been counseling for almost twenty years and do love my work! I have certifications earned in Grief therapy, DBT, and EMDR. I am easy to talk to, I have been told and will help you to meet your goals.
