Nurse Practitioner Amy Horn is amazing! She was lovely to speak with and really made me feel like I wasn't alone in everything I had going on. She is very personable and funny, and I found her extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I have put off being seen for too long, and I am so glad to have been referred here.

Josie listens so well and seems to have so much compassion and concern for her clients. The portal is also very user friendly and staff is quick to respond. Highly recommend LifeStance!

Josie Weber is amazing. One of the first times I have felt heard by a medical professional. She not only listened to my issues but was genuinely interested in my problems. Highly recommend.

NP decided to treat my hour session as her own. Talking more about herself and her upcoming vacation to Texas for a knitting convention. Talked about her multiple children and what they were up to in their lives, about her husband, and then proceeded to talk to me in detail about her Labaubus?!? Doesn’t listen to anything after I said ‘substance abuse’ and immediately started looking at where I can buy new meds cheaper, which is nice, but why do I not have any knowledge of what these meds do or why she chose them for me. I rebooked and left shocked. Got a bill for $550 after cancelling the second appointment. There is no way this is legal!

Alison and Lois have been the biggest help in my life, I've been going here for over a year now and can't imagine how I'd be without their help. Absolutely recommend if you are facing PTSD issues.

Love the doctors..i have not gone one month without a billing issue they need to figure it out. And please dont send me a genaric your so important email i have heard it all before just fix your billing issues…i was also told one of the over billings should be credited to my account i have not seen any reduction in any bill i have had so where is my credit

I have really enjoyed speaking with Ashley. While it was just the first time, she was very attentive and responsive, and I felt very comfortable. Sometimes you just have to "let things out". I have looked some appointments for the future..

Wendy is professional, personable and knowledgeable. She spoke at my women’s tea party. Her words were relevant and empowered the women in attendance.

Wendy instructed an amazing workshop for the class over mental wellness as a business owner. It was very impactful understanding her story and why her business exists. If you’re looking for a spiritual counselor, she’s perfect!

Mrs Wendy is an excellent business coach. I really learned a lot about prioritizing mental wellness related to my business journey and also personal wellbeing. Great presentation Mrs Wendy God bless you! ! !

I was introduced to her in a cohart and she is amazing! She is such a great speaker and her testimony is real. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Ms. Wendy is a highly skilled Business Coach expert who provides expert guidance to individuals seeking to learn the best practices for opening a thriving counseling business. As my business coach, she took the time to walk me through the steps required to launch my own business and offered expert advice on avoiding common obstacles.

Wendy is awesome!! Need her spirit to help our communities and her faith based approach is amazing!

Dr. Wendy is amazing. She is not only relatable but she is also kind and graceful. Each time we have a conversation, she is honest and full of fun while being knowledgeable in her practice.

Ive never left a review for a therapist. I’ve been utilizing therapy for 30 years, and on a quest for the perfect fit. I thought I found that at BraveLife Therapy with Courtney Harrough. We did months worth of work together; however, as time went on she became harsh, promised to try various forms of therapy with me with ZERO follow through, switched practices, increased her price from $60 per session to $140, and then changed her schedule with ZERO warning. None of these changes were told to me in person – I had to find out via email. After expressing concern for her inconsistency as a therapist, tactfully and respectfully, I was let go by CP, had my file handed off, and it was all clearly retaliatory. She is a DANGER to clients who are experiencing distress, abandonment, trust issues, and great turmoil. Horribly inconsistent and lacking in empathy. She made many promises that she never backed up, and the lack of follow through was entirely unacceptable. I cannot express how disappointed I am in her as a human being, as well as her supervisor Pat. When I reached out to file a complaint she was condescending and unhelpful. Offered zero solutions outside of having a conversation that was only meant to further protect the therapist – NOT me. Run far away from these individuals and this dangerous practice. It is not a safe place for those experiencing trauma.

I have known Jennifer, owner of The Brave Life Therapy, for about ten years professionally and personally. She truly is a No B.S. therapist (and person!) and works unbelievably hard for her clients, staff, and practice. I have not hesitated to refer clients to her, especially with her professional expertise. Knowing her, this high quality therapy easily carries over to her expectations for staff as well. If you are on the fence, definitely reach out!

Jess is, in my experience, incompetent and dangerous as a marriage counselor for high conflict couples. In late July of 2023, we sought out her help. Instead, she inflicted uneccessary emotional trauma on my family from which we are still recovering. The contempt I saw in her face and heard in her tone after only briefly meeting with each of us separately causes me to suspect a problem with her projecting something personal into the session. She demonstrated ill-informed bias by calling in law enforcement to manage non-violent emotional distress in a therapeutic setting. My current therapist, our subsequent marriage counselor, a social worker, and the social worker she sent to my home have all verbally recognized the innapropriateness of and harm caused by her missteps. Two of those have encouraged us to file a report with the licensing board. I don't typically write reviews, but this felt far too important to not do so.

The Brave Life Therapy staff is so wonderful! They truly care about creating a safe and welcoming environment for their clients and strive to produce the best outcomes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for therapy!

The team at Brave Life Therapy are incredible at what they do. I work with teens, and Brave Life Therapy is the first place we refer all of our families. They are great partners, incredible people, and top notch therapists.

As a professional colleague of Jennifer Vincent, I highly recommend The Brave Life Therapy for the compassionate and competent care that they provide clients. Their inclusive and affirming approach helps clients feel welcome and cared for.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I have collaborated with several therapists for comprehensive patient care. I highly recommend the therapy staff led by Jennifer Vincent. Not only do they provide a safe environment for ALL but are passionate about education for the community as well!

I have struggled with my mental health most of my life. I have had some really dark periods, and I was in the middle of my worst days when I started seeing Megan for EMDR therapy. I was new to therapy and didn't know what I was looking for, except I knew the 5 therapists I had seen previously were not it. While seeing Megan, I started seeing Robyn for extra support. Megan and Robyn teamed up to help me through my darkest days. I still struggle and have hard times, but not like before. I'm not exaggerating to say, that together, they saved my life. I am grateful I found Indy Therapy and Counseling.

My counselor is wonderful. Ms. Brandi is an excellent listener. She is kind and compassionate. She doesn’t judge you and you can just talk to her. She offers practical advice that is actionable. She has helped me through grief, depression and bouts of anxiety. I am grateful I found her and this company. I’d give more stars if I could.

Joel at Indy Therapy and Counseling is fantastic! The practice is easy to find in Indianapolis and there is a lot for parking. He incorporates Brainspotting, CBT techniques, and Internal Family Systems while creating a comfortable environment for his clients. I have been able to open up with him, something that isn’t easy for me and have had difficulty with when seeing other therapists. Great option if you're looking for a caring, experienced therapist in Indy!

Kat has been an amazing resource for me as I process my PTSD through therapy. She is especially adept with EMDR, which has changed my life and allowed me to tackle my anxiety and depression independently. The location is easy to find, and I love how easy it is to book time with her. I cannot recommend Indy Therapy and Counseling enough – plus, Kat is the BEST!

Indy T&C was so welcoming and friendly! I was nervous to take the step to go to therapy, but I’m very happy I did! I worked with Maggie, and my sessions with her we’re just what I needed. Just simply having someone to talk to that really listened and cared was great. Maggie was so kind and knowledgeable. If you’re on the fence about going to therapy, you absolutely should give it a try and you won’t regret it! My first few sessions were weekly but then I switched to every 2-4 weeks depending on my schedule and needs. They are very flexible and willing to do whatever fits your needs and lifestyle!

No words can express the gratitude of the life changes that I have found during my visits to Indy Therapy and Counseling. Joel has helped me in making my anxiety and fears take a seat at the table. The self-respect, confidence, pride, relaxation and sunshine are all taking priority in my life and sitting in the lead chairs now. Joel and his team are absolutely amazing. THANK YOU, Joel, you mean the world to me, and I truly appreciate you!! See you next week!!

I have been attending weekly therapy sessions with Joel for a year and some change now, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Joel welcomed me to this practice and helped me to feel comfortable talking about difficult subjects, even in our first meeting. Not only is he an amazing therapist who always has a handout ready and/or information/resources regarding a certain topic available, he gives educated "lessons" and advice, drawing various outlines on his whiteboard that puts the information into perspective and allow the patient to fully grasp specific concepts. As someone who values the science behind a concept, Joel takes the time to help me understand the psychology and reasonings behind why I do what I do. I feel heard and supported during each session with Joel. Crystal, the office manager, is so prompt, professional, caring, and just, a very great person. She always has my papers printed off for me to collect before my sessions and replies quickly to my questions on the scheduling application they use. Overall, my experience here has been phenomenal. 10/10.

The 5 stars are for Amy Abuasabeh only. I was not a fan of the company itself, but Amy was one of the best NPs/psychiatric providers I have ever had. I saw her for three years, and I am truly saddened that she changed companies and I can no longer see her. She was an incredible provider who helped me tremendously with my care. She was kind, humble, easy to talk to, and genuinely compassionate. She always wanted to help in any way she could, and she knew how to do so effectively. She made sure I had refills when I needed them and was flexible and thoughtful with medication adjustments and changes. She understood what would work for me and what wouldn’t, and she never gave up trying to find the right solutions. She rarely said no unless it was absolutely necessary, and she consistently worked to find options that would help me. She was truly a rare gem, and I am very grateful for the care she provided. I wish her all the best in her steps.

I added my credit card for payment, they didn’t allow me time to get a payment plan set up and took $1200 from my CHECKING account at once. My mortgage money right before Christmas. This is an awful business. They do not care about anyone’s mental health, I did not have my debit card as my default payment method so how did this get taken from my checking account? Again, if you’re willing to take someone’s entire paycheck as soon as they get paid, you are a disgraceful, disgusting excuse for a mental health provider.

Audrey is the most one of the most kind hearted people I know. She is positive and has a contagious smile. She has a great, judgment free listening ear. When seeking advice she has always been spot on no matter the situation. Having her in my life has been a blessing I didn't know I needed. I believe everyone needs an Audrey in their life–if you pick her, you won't be let down. She is attentive because she is way more caring than the average person. Thank you Audrey for being a beautiful human!

Chase is an excellent therapist! He takes time to listen, understand, and develops approaches that really meet me where I am as a client. Our sessions have become vital to guiding me through a meaningful and fulfilling life!

Scheduling process was so smooth and easy! My appointment with Jasmin for my first visit was a lot, I felt like I was just dumping everything into her lap but she is extremely gracious and I am grateful to have started this journey!

Audrey Goddard is truly an amazing person. Having known her for 4 years, I can attest to the type of person she has become. She is driven, caring, non-judgmental, and very outgoing. She will connect with you in the smallest of ways, and then you will be opening up like you’ve known her all your life. She takes the time to go above and beyond to meet your needs. To say she is the best is an understatement.

Audrey G is a wonderful therapist. She has helped me through many issues and always has a smile on her face. I have known her for many years, and no matter your woes, she will make you feel comfortable, at ease, and the words will flow. You can be yourself with no pressure or judgement. She is inclusive so no matter your person, she will accept you and listen.

Easy to book and easy to have an intake appointment right from your phone. Excited to have this as a option for my mental health journey!!!

I love how easy it is to schedule my appointments and that I can do digital online sessions. Deanna is so easy to talk to and I feel safe confiding in her. She listens well. She’s good at helping me focus and see things differently. I would recommend Deanna to anyone looking for a therapist.

I saw a provider on a Thursday at 2pm. She told me she would get 2 prescriptions sent to my pharmacy. we verified the pharmacy address and number. Friday morning at 0923 this provider called ma to yet again review the address and phone number of the pharmacy……long story short I just now got a notice that they were sent it……its Tuesday evening of the following week. I have not experienced this amout if incompetence in a very long time. Im just blown away that these are the ppl that will be providing my meds for anxiety….they are causing me more anxiety!!

Deanna listens carefully, responds thoughtfully and provides meaningful suggestions for me to act on.

My experience working with Deanna Miller has been great. I felt comfortable discussing sensitive family issues without hesitation. She has helped me to focus on important things and offered great suggestions for solutions. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help.

I just started but wish I had got help years ago. I am not Carl I am Darlene his wife. I was having a nervous breakdown when I started. Trying to repair the abuse that's stuck in my mind. I have lost so many friends and family they couldn't take hearing my problems anymore. My social worker is helping me through all these hidden emotions. Thank you.

I was matched with a terrific Therapist who has already helped me so much. It has been easy to make an appointment and to confirm my appointments.

Chris has seen my son (10yo) for the last 1.5 years. We’ve seen measurable growth and learned so much about anxiety and OCD and how to parent our child. Our son has felt the shift and his confidence continues to develop. His teachers and other family members have taken note of the changes in him. We’ve recommended him to others who we know would benefit from his knowledge and expertise. We’re so thankful for the tools Chris has taught us.

Chris created a connection with my child that made him feel safe and comfortable during a stressful time. My teen son looked forward to his sessions with Chris! His professional attitude, knowledge and therapeutic strategies proved to be a short-term treatment for a long-term solution to my son’s OCD.

I reached out to Chris 2 years ago when I was struggling with anxiety, grief, rumination, and OCD-adjacent behavior and thoughts. Chris was and has been the greatest help in my journey of understanding my own behavior and he has taught me how to utilize different tools to make everyday life less overwhelming. Chris is relatable, encouraging, and thoughtful in every single conversation. He has been a true blessing. I highly recommend!

When Chris and I first met, my son’s condition was severe. We collaborated with multiple therapists, and Chris worked seamlessly with them all to meet our son’s needs. He honored our family’s religious practices and addressed concerns about religious OCD with great respect, ensuring we could remain true to who we are. My son always looked forward to his sessions with Chris, drawn to his humor and lighthearted approach. When therapy fatigue set in, Chris was the first to suggest alternative options that prioritized my son’s well-being. Today, I can say something I never thought I’d say again: my son is thriving! Thank you, Chris!

I cannot say enough good things from working with Chris. He was easy to work with and so helpful with all the different techniques addressing my OCD. There was also a plan and the sessions all were leading toward an end goal of me not needing to go to sessions frequently but more for check-ins. I only wish I was introduced to Chris sooner.

I sought OCD-specific help at a point in my life when I felt completely hopeless. I feel unbelievably grateful to have found Chris and his OCD-specific approach/expertise, something that was incredibly different from the therapy I had been receiving (for years!). Chris remained extremely compassionate while challenging my anxiety, allowing me to make change I had genuinely never imagined in/for my life. I feel MUCH more equipped to handle anxiety when it arises and have since felt significantly less depressed and engaged with life in turn. I would highly, highly, highly recommend investing in services at Indy OCD; Chris not only offered me hope at a time in which I had none, but provided me with the tools that has allowed me to continue to feel hopeful and capable.

We cannot say enough good things about Christopher! He is very good at what he does and is professional, thorough, reliable and even adds a little humor to lighten things up! He is a "God-Send" and helped our family member who was suffering with a debilitating phobia!

I cannot recommend Leslie enough as a therapist, particularly for teenagers and young adults. She has a calm, caring, direct demeanor that worked so well for my child, and her professionalism and communication are excellent. She is goal-oriented and works with her clients to make a plan for success that works for them. I have nothing but wonderful things to say!

I am proud to refer clients to Leslie and her team at Sommer Psychology Group, LLC, as their approach is grounded in real-world resilience and a deep-rooted commitment to healing. Leslie brings a unique perspective to her leadership that can only come from someone who truly understands the journey of growth from the inside out. Her practice is a vital resource, and the quality of care provided here is second to none.

Leslie Sommer was a trusted therapist for my daughter during her teenage years. She helped her achieve her goals and reflect on what kind of choices she wanted to be making with her life. Leslie supported her in navigating the ups and downs of evolving friendships, family tensions, and adolescence in general. My daughter looked forward to her appointments. I couldn't recommend her more.

Leslie has been wonderful to work with. She provided clear guidance, information, and support when our family needed it most, and she always does so with both professionalism and genuine care. She communicates appropriately and respectfully, honoring privacy boundaries while still helping ensure everyone involved feels supported. It’s incredibly reassuring to know she brings such empathy and expertise to her clients.

Leslie made a meaningful difference in our daughter’s life at a time when she truly needed support. She was a reassuring presence and helped our daughter navigate difficult moments with more confidence. We are grateful for the work and care she provided!

Leslie was a nourishing source of support for our teenage daughter. She provided gentle and supportive care to our daughter, while also providing clear tools and methods for her to utilize on her own if going through a hard moment. Leslie would bring my husband and I in regularly to update us on how our daughter was doing and check in with us as well. We are so grateful for Leslie and the care and support that she provided to our whole family.

Very welcoming and inclusive feeling environment. I attended sessions in 2023 / 2024 I think and the stopped due to life events. I started back this year and have no complaints. I only do neurofeedback therapy which has been great for my overall mental wellness. Jaclyn is great – highly recommend.

All 4 family members of my household have been seeing therapists at this location for over 8 years. We have seen 4 – 5 of their therapist and have had nothing but great experiences. We also have a dozen friends, family, and coworkers who use this same office and also have nothing but glowing reviews.

It had taken me a long time to want to return to seeing a therapist. Because my mental health had been declining, I chose to be brave and started speaking to someone in 2023. Just about a month ago I had learned that either my current therapist or my previous therapist has violated my HIPPA rights by disclosing my sessions with my husbands’ therapist (which is at the same facility and why I started going here in the first place). Not only has this affected my mental health in a negative way, it’s caused me to not trust seeing or talking to anyone at this place or want to seek help anywhere else! People wonder why mental health is never taken seriously and it’s hard to find someone you can trust talking to! The sad thing is, is that if either of my therapists (or both) has done this to me, what other patients rights are being violated? I do NOT recommend this place and I will never be returning! Hopefully one day I will find someone I can again trust to talk to, but Indy Counseling has lost my trust and my respect.

I’ve been with Julie for over 6 years now and she has truly helped my life in ways I can’t explain. Without her I wouldn’t have gotten through or continue to go through by myself. I respect this women so much and have so much gratitude. Both locations have been so welcoming, calm, and professional from the rooms being so cozy to the snack bars and coffee bar. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!

Been go here for years. Solid empathetic staff. Love Julie ❤️

Amy Ikerd has been my therapist for over a year. I was at a point in my life when I didn't trust therapist, and was so completely skeptical in believing I could achieve overcoming my biased. The more time I spent with her, the more I came to see that she is a professional with the capacity to genuinely empathize with her clients. It is my personal experience that she is trustworthy and appropriate for this particular feild of work. It takes so much for a person to come into an unknown environment and successfully achieve a sense of security and well-being. I have grown confident that she is the most trustworthy and helpful therapist I've ever had. If you are contemplating rather or not you would like to take that leap or not, and begin the process of healing, I encourage you to take the leap! Amy Ikerd will be there to meet you where you stand! Thank you so much for all your help, I can't possibly express my gratitude enough for the help you've provided me.

Everything at Indy Counseling Professionals is great! Getting set up for my first appointment was easy, Barb at the front desk will greet you by name at every appointment, and it is a very comfortable home-like environment. Rachael is great. I leave every appointment with a sense of progress, and I know that over my few months of therapy I have a had definite improvement.

I was referred to this office to get some testing done. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed in which this whole process took. My rough estimate would probably be around 2 months, diagnosis and all. Even so, I never felt rushed. I felt like I was being listened to in a judge free environment. Every staff member I encountered was nothing but kind and patient. After I received my diagnosis, I received a lengthy and detailed report about 3 business days later. It provided me with information I found very helpful and I’m grateful for my time spent with this office. This is a place I would feel comfortable recommending to friends and family.

Worst service ever!! The referral was sent for my daughter in January. My appt was made in June. I did the hour intake June 9 th and the Dr said I would receive a call within two weeks to schedule her in person evaluation. July came and no call. I started calling and leaving messages. Voice mail states they will call back within 24 hours. I waited a week to two weeks between each message. I called at least 50 times, no joke but only left 3 messages. Finally someone answered. I was told she could not schedule appts. Only the scheduler could and she was out until Wednesday. It was Friday. So I've called every Wednesday for a month!!! No one ever answered again. I just saw on their website they were permanently closing!! That would've been nice to know considering my daughter has been waiting for her testing for months now!! This has delayed the treatment she needs. Now we have to start all over!! So glad this place is closing.

Same story as everyone else! Rude front office staff, late medical student to conduct my testing, was told the test would take 4 hours and it took 6, and the office is filthy! Dirty bathroom, unvacuumed carpet, dirty tables… just overall really gross. I don't even want to know what my insurance is going to bill me after all of this. I've let my primary care provider know about how terrible this place is… I wish I had read reviews before scheduling my appointments!

I waited nine months for my initial appointment. Then they asked if they could reschedule it for an earlier time and then they ended up calling me an hour after my original scheduled appointment time. The testing felt super rushed but once it was done, I still have not heard back about my report. I called to check on it and they said they called me back and I never heard anything back.

The front staff is cold and not very helpful, yet I did have a good experience with the doctor and he explained what I needed to do to get evaluated and get my test results. It took time but I was able to get my diagnosis with 6 weeks. I would not go through them to get my medication, I sought other places for that.

My experience with Meridian Psychological Associates was less than ideal. From my initial intake appointment in August of 2021, it took almost 4 months for my test to be administered, and another month and a half to receive my results. The process took almost 5 months to complete in total, thus creating more stress in my life and allowing more time to go without proper mental healthcare. During this time, I also received several different prices for how much my testing would be. I was told that my testing was pre-approved under my insurance, and then was told at my final evaluation that I would owe almost $1,000 out of pocket. I received about five different prices for how much I would owe, and was never given a call to explain my actual cost of testing. Calls were not returned promptly at all and business seems to have a lack of structure and organization. I would not recommend this facility to anyone looking to receive mental health advocacy and results in a prompt and timely fashion.

I had a great experience. I was really worried about this place based on all the negative reviews, but I really did not have any other options; everywhere else I contacted had huge waitlists or were simply not accepting new clients. I came to leave a review for anyone else in the same boat who is considering taking a chance on this place. I was an adult needing reassessment having lost my diagnosis from over a decade ago. They did a thorough re-evaluation to make sure everything was okay. They don't really communicate via phone, BUT you will have really prompt and accurate information via email and your patient portal. They emailed me back a few weeks after I called and left a voicemail (one of the few places that even responded at all), I had an appointment offered within the month (there are three appointments necessary for assessment). I asked lots of questions about pricing and they told me the max out of pocket cost I could expect and were very transparent about the whole thing. The whole process took about 3 months to get the final assessment, but this is standard and actually quite good. I saw Dr. Janine Miller and she did a thorough and conscientious job and always made sure I fully understood all costs and timelines and the clinical results. The assessment was done by a clinical PHD student, but they were professional and prompt and collaborated closely with Dr. Miller. I really felt like my own health was being prioritized and that I was getting the best assessment possible, and that I had a voice in my own diagnosis. The address on google is incorrect, I think they changed location, but the website google takes you to is correct. I used a throwaway google account to write this review because I don't need it publicly documented that I got an assessment.
