Michaela Spangenburg

Indiana, Indiana - Psychologist
Online
In Person

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and HSPP with 15 years of experience providing therapy to families and individuals across the lifespan. I currently work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, emotional burnout, and recurring patterns that may trace back to childhood experiences, family dynamics, or unresolved past experiences. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to carrying things alone or feeling like you have to keep functioning no matter how overwhelmed you are. Many of my clients describe feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, overly responsible for others, or trapped in cycles of conflict, shame, avoidance, or self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns while also building practical tools to navigate emotions, boundaries, communication, relationships, and everyday stress. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrates evidence-based practices with deeper relational and insight-oriented work. I strive to create a space that is nonjudgmental, supportive, and authentic, where clients can safely explore difficult experiences, deepen self-understanding, and develop meaningful strategies for change. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are right now and work together toward building a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fulfilling on your own terms.

Faith Hayes

Indiana, Indiana - Counselor
Online

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Faith and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Indiana. I have been in the social services field for over 10 years. I have much experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, anger management, and relationship stressors. Anyone who knows me would describe me as highly empathic, compassionate, caring and committed to making a difference in the lives of others. I have experience in both roles of therapy, as therapist and client. I understand the difficulty in seeking help, being vulnerable and facing personal struggles. I value and respect the lives of each of my clients and admire the strength and resiliency that I am privileged to see in my work every day. In our work together, I will help you connect to these strengths within you and work collaboratively to help overcome the struggles that you face. I believe that each of us has a greater purpose in this life and counseling is one of many tools to help achieve our highest potential. My counseling approach is eclectic, meaning that I draw from a combination of counseling theory and techniques. Each of us is unique in our thoughts, feelings and worldview; therefore, I believe therapy should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. I am continuously researching treatments and perspectives from professionals in the counseling field, and utilize strategies from a holistic perspective, integrating mind, body and spirit for optimum health. If you feel ready to take the next step to a more fulfilling life, I would love to accompany you along that journey!
