LaChelle is hands down the best therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I met with her via weekly video sessions over the course of nine months, and never before have I seen such a tremendous transformation in my self-perception and outlook on life. At the start of our work together, I was in a very emotionally draining career that had led me to burnout, exhaustion, depression, and suicidal ideations. I was going through several transitions in my personal life as well. LaChelle got to know me and how my brain worked in a way that helped me identify and move away from the negative mindset my mind had grown so accustomed to. Slowly, step by step and week by week, I was able to regain control of my emotions while also honoring, feeling, and acknowledging their presence. I began to see myself in a new light, and began to honor what I once thought were my faults, only to learn they could actually be my superpowers. LaChelle has this incredible ability to call me out on my BS without making me feel guilty, and I am constantly feeling the impacts of this in every aspect of my life. I can now call myself out on my own negative self talk, tell myself positive affirmations that truly work to change my behaviors and outlooks, and better manage how I handle stressful situations. With La Chelle’s support, and reassurance, I found the strength to leave my job and find a better suited career while maintaining a positive , can-do attitude that I otherwise would not have been able to achieve. I can confidently allow my emotions and depressive episodes to pass without letting them consume me, which is something I am very proud of. LaChelle has provided persistent and expert guidance along my entire career transition, and she has also helped me tremendously in my personal life to the point where I am capable of managing healthier boundaries and maintaining healthier relationships with loved ones. Her thoughtful conversations, patience, and thought-provoking questions are truly a gift. I will be able to take the skills I learned from LaChelle with me throughout the remainder of my life, which is truly one of the best gifts I could ever receive.

NOTE: I don't currently have very many evening slots available .

I am a licensed therapist with over 10 years experience. My undergraduate degree is in Sociology (University of Dayton) and my masters is in Social Work (Indiana University). I am almost done with my doctorate degree as well.

I have specialties in the area of addictions and trauma. In addition I've worked with countless clients who suffer from a variety of mental health diagnosis, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. I've worked with a wide range of families, ranging from those involved with the Department of Family Services to entrepreneurial wealthy married couples.

I've been trained in ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Seeking Safety, MRT, EFT and Batters Intervention.

My work days are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I love working with those who are committed to becoming the best version of themselves but don't know how to do that or get overwhelmed with the process. I have a direct communication style. If you feel like you need a little push or more accountability as you get clear on your next steps and remove some of the barriers standing in your way I'm here to help. I also love to laugh. Life can be so challenging at times, so if you're up to having some fun as we do some hard work, I'd love to get to know you more.

Take the first step. And let us do the rest together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

LaChelle is very caring and combined with her knowledge and insight is a highly valued therapist! I had a needed break in therapy due to family medical issues and without hesitation I contacted LaChelle again. I had input from people to 'try someone else for a change' and I rejected that input as LaChelle has a special combination of common sense and a caring heart, grounded in her training and experience.

I’ve only had one session with LaChelle today, but like her so far. I’ve met with one other therapist prior but she wasn’t able to diagnosis me with any mental condition but suggested some kind of adaption issues. I’m thinking more C-PTSD and mild anxiety. Will know more in the weeks to come!
