Anyone experiencing issues that they want to work on. I have learned that venting can be the key to reaching goals. I provide venting services through my professional coaching certification. I have experience working with individuals, veterans, children, and couples.
I offer compassionate guidance to individuals and couples navigating narratives of self-doubt, perfectionism, and the challenges of overwork and overwhelm. Together, we can overcome rumination, anxiety, and harsh self-criticism. Embracing a mindset free from highlighting imperfections and fears is a transformative journey towards self-discovery. I focus on addressing shame, self-criticism, and trust concerns, tailored especially for those who identify as neurodivergent or anxiety-prone.
I work with adults and couples on all kinds of issues and frequently treat issues related to attachment, identity, and trauma (ie intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, ptsd, etc). I often work with clients who have symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or high stress. I enjoy working with fellow members of the queer community and have a passion for providing an affirming, inclusive space for historically marginalized groups including, but not limited to BIPOC, interracial couples, and women.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Do you have trouble understanding what you’re feeling, or why you’re feeling it? Maybe you often ask “does that make sense?”, unsure whether your thoughts are coming across how you want them to. Or you find that you're really hard on yourself, with a running narrative of “I’m the worst!”. Perhaps you’re scared to get things wrong, and feel unable to trust yourself to know what you want, let alone how to get there. If you relate to this and want to feel less anxious and more at ease, I can help!
Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to focus, frequently prioritizing others over yourself, lacking confidence, or often comparing yourself to others? These issues can significantly affect your self-esteem and self-worth, potentially leading to heightened anxiety or depression. I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with perfectionism and related challenges.
It is important that we all feel seen and heard; we need that more than ever before. We need spaces created for us to heal wounds developed from adverse and traumatic experiences. We need room to acknowledge and address our pain. We need opportunity for self—self-reflection and expression. Leavell Counseling, LLC is committed to providing quality counseling services to individuals desiring more—more growth and more change. I look forward to supporting you in your process of growth and change.
Anxiety, depression, and couple conflict can be difficult, but I enjoy collaborating with my clients to help them utilize their strengths to meet challenges. I believe everyone has unique skills that can be enhanced with therapy to cope with conflict, stress, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy helping clients work toward increased hope and empowerment.
Are you feeling sad, lacking energy, and feeling like something is wrong all of the time? Has your mood been up and down and you've found it As a client you will have a comfortable safe space to share freely without judgment. You can discuss substance use and if and why that might have increased for you recently. You can discuss any recent stressful life changes resulting in increased anxiety or depression. You can talk about sadness, fear, regret, and the feelings of all shapes and sizes.

I specialize in working with college students, young professionals, teachers, families, and individuals in life transitions. Perhaps you're experiencing a quarter or mid-life crisis, or another life transition that's created a time of uncertainty where life’s choices feel overwhelming. I also work with professionals and caregivers who are seeking balance, meaning, and a way to prevent burnout while staying connected to the work and relationships that matter most to them.
Have you hit a wall? Do you feel like everything you have tried isn't working? Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by our situation that it's hard to fathom any solution. My role is to be the neutral party that can objectively look at your struggle and help you develop the tools you need to reach a resolution. My ideal clients reflect on our discussions between sessions, engage in behavior change, have a sense of humor, and are willing to do the work.
Couples who want to learn how to communicate more effectively. Infidelity can seem like the end of a relationship and yet that doesn't have to be the case. I like helping Stew Pot (Blending) couples to be proactive in creating a family where all parts are unique and feel connected. Couples can often become "Room Mates" and need help to build a happier and more loving relationship.
I help clients who are experiencing gender dysphoria, anxiety, self-criticism and shame, who are wanting to challenge their inner critic and show compassion toward every part of themselves. I love helping clients deconstruct shame and develop shame resilience in order to build empathy and compassion for themselves.
I believe that the counseling relationship should be honest, encouraging, nonjudgemental, and collaborative. I know you are capable of navigating these obstacles, whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma. In addition to the previous list, I also specialize working with transracial adult adoptees and marginalized people through trauma and identity work.My goal is to help you build your own skyway to connect all the parts of you together.

Have you been holding it all together for far too long? Maybe you have different faces you show each part of your world and none of them really feel right anymore. You might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression or have trauma that has gone unaddressed. And, you're looking for a place to put all of that down. To figure out how the what worked in the past to survive is keeping you from the life you want to live. To live into who you are in a more real and authentic manner.
I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, grief, self-esteem, LGBTQ+ issues, navigating neurodiversity, and adjustment/life transitions. I celebrate diversity and hope to create a space where each person feels comfortable to show up as they are. If you are someone that feels ready to create goals, explore areas for change, and step outside of your comfort zone at times, I really hope we have the chance to work together soon!
I work with adults and adolescents (ages 12 and up) struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, and relational distress. I also work with members of the LGBTQIA+ population and poly/ENM/kinky folks around gender identity and expression, boundary-setting, and self-acceptance. I am available for both individual and couples counseling, in-person or via telehealth anywhere in the state of Indiana.
