We are licensed psychologists who've been working with students for 20+ years. We understand and care about college student concerns -- from adjusting to campus life, navigating friend-groups, reflecting on family, and making your way academically. We can help. In addition, we're "PsyPact certified" in 42 states and counting, which means when you head home for breaks or intern out of state, there's a really good chance we can provide continued support so you can maintain the gains you've made.

Hi! I am a clinical social worker with about 15 years of experience working across the lifespan and really enjoy working with young adults. I am in Lakeview/Lincoln Park above the Core Yoga building, and in network with BCBS PPO plans.

Life can be difficult. Counseling shouldn't be. When you’re struggling to cope with the challenges in your life, starting therapy is a courageous step toward change. In a complex world, we believe in straightforward, compassionate support. There are no bad parts of you. When you’re struggling to understand some challenging aspect of your life, it’s easy to say, “that’s just who I am” and label this part as unfixable or “bad”. Therapy is about creating a relationship with all the parts of you. We help you understand the connection between the actions you take, and the way you feel in a process that allows you to live in harmony with your whole self. You don’t have to accept your past – just love the person who survived it.

I love working with college aged clients who are struggling with difficulties adjusting to new circumstances, anxiety, stress management, and relational concerns. I work from a very relational and warm approach, utilizing a variety of methods to help my clients meet the goals they set. I meet with clients weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly (if appropriate). If in the Bloomington area, I offer walk talk in addition to in office and telehealth.

Do you have insomnia or struggle with nightmares? Want to improve your mood, reduce worry/anxious thoughts, change unwanted behaviors, or better manage a tough relationship? My niche is working with clients seeking medium to short-term (1 year or less), goal-oriented counseling. Studies show many people benefit from this more focused approach. Sometimes even a handful of sessions can get you moving in a better direction! I'll help you identify realistic, concrete steps to make the changes you want to see in your life & together we'll create a plan to work toward your goals. (Note: this is not a good fit for every person/problem.) I'm a Psychologist with 22 years of experience & work with adults age 18+. I use evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrate aspects of ACT & Mindfulness if appropriate for your needs. I'm also trained in CBT for Insomnia & CBT-Nightmares, both of which are shown to have positive benefits on other mental health symptoms. It can be hard to start counseling, especially if this is your first time or you found counseling un-helpful in the past. Good for you for taking this first step toward feeling better! Let's schedule a 15 minute phone conversation to find out what you're looking to accomplish through counseling & if we might be a good fit. Please note: I do not provide assessments/testing, and I do not write letters/complete forms for Emotional Support Animals, probation, court/legal situations, disabilities, ADHD, learning disorders, etc..

Hello :) Going to college is such an exciting time in your life. It also can be overwhelming navigating all the new experiences. If you are looking for someone who can help you find a successful transition to your new world, I can help. I have worked in the field of social work for over 36 years and helped many people find their way in the world. When meeting new people from so many different backgrounds and even parts of the world can be fun and maybe a little terrifying at times. I can be a safe place to sort through your thoughts and feelings and make decisions that are right for you. Asking for help is really a strength, not a weakness as I think some people believe. I hope to meet you soon. Emily

My name is Dr. Christy Sutton, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in 2015, a CACREP-accredited program, and have since completed my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. My counseling approach is grounded in a client-centered philosophy and integrates evidence-based practices tailored to each individual's unique needs, strengths, and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Together, we identify meaningful goals, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical strategies that foster lasting change. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, attachment-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR-informed techniques when appropriate. I also emphasize the importance of self-care, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and building on each client's existing strengths to promote resilience and overall well-being. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, schools, homes, community-based programs, and private practice. My clinical experience includes helping individuals navigate trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, family conflict, and stress-related challenges. I am passionate about helping clients develop the skills and confidence needed to manage life's difficulties while creating meaningful and fulfilling lives. For clients who desire it, I am also honored to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith and spirituality into the counseling process in a manner that respects each person's beliefs and values. Seeking counseling is a courageous step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing, hope, and personal growth. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey.

I earned my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Counselor Education at IU Bloomington. I am originally from Taiwan and have enjoyed working with college students in both English and Madarin. I currently accept Aetna and United Healthcare plans, and I am working on accepting Anthem Medicaid, CareSource Medicaid, Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield. I offer sliding scales. I am certified in EMDR therapy through EMDRIA (EMDR International Association). I continue to take advanced trainings, seek consultation and attend study groups after being certified. I am passionate about helping people feel better and live the life they want. I have worked with a variety of conditions such as college student issues, trauma/PTSD, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, life transitions and grief/loss. I use evidence-based approaches to help each individual meet their unique therapy goals. The services I offer are culturally sensitive and neurodivergence-affirming.

You are trying to hold it all together, but just can’t take it anymore. You’ve hit your breaking point and don’t know what to do. Self-doubt, over-thinking everything, questioning what will make you happy. It seems like everyone else has it figured out, but you can't get it together. This is supposed to be the best time of your life, but you can't seem to enjoy it, and you need help. My name is Jennifer Branstetter, and I help students who are struggling and overwhelmed with their mental health. It might be hard to keep up with school, and maybe this is the first time you've ever struggled academically and you're wondering if something's wrong with you. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, or ADHD symptoms can interfere with forming friendships or having the "college experience" and maybe you're questioning if you made the right school choice. Maybe you aren't connecting socially or feel like you fit in. Sometimes the transition to college can be a lot harder than expected, or something like a breakup can throw you for a loop. It's common for students in this situation to feel an immense amount of pressure. Sometimes it feels like you can't talk to anyone else about it. Therapy can be a place to get it all out, figure out what is contributing to the problem, and come up with a plan to get better. It's time to get some support. You don't have to do this alone. My practice has been virtual since 2018 from my home office in Southeast Indiana, outside of Cincinnati. I see people in Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. If you have a therapist at home, I'd be happy to connect with them to make the transition easier, and stay on the same page if you see them on breaks. I can also help connect you with on-campus resources or medication providers if needed. Reach out to schedule a call to see if we're a good fit.

I also love working with couples regarding all kinds of relationship concerns. I enjoy laughing with my students in therapy, sometimes crying too, and that's okay.
