Desiree Marshall, LCSW — Therapist in Indiana

Hi there, I'm Desiree!

I engage in honesty-oriented therapy where authenticity, vulnerability, and transparency are the bedrock of your progress. Compassion, connection, and unconditional positive regard are the cornerstones of my approach.

My focus

I work with adolescents, teens, children, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflict, divorce, parenting, self-esteem, stress, and behavioral issues.

My approach

I incorporate narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and mindfulness therapy to tackle your unique circumstance. I'll involve you in exploring treatment options that suit your defined goals and satisfy your desired therapy experience.

My communication style

Like a treasured friend, I'll be your trusted source of support and a sacred confidant. Together, we will work through personal dilemmas, past traumas, and distorted thought patterns. Challenges can feel like mountains, but we will scale them all.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began early. I crafted empathetic conversational skills consoling my mother and sister through hardship. Showing up with grace when life throws you grit is my gift. I offer a persistent belief that things will always get better. Therapy isn't just my skill-set; it's my testimony and purpose.

My goals for you

You are the pilot of this journey we embark on together. You'll define the purpose for our time, and I'll assist you in creating goals that reflect your true desires rather than clinical jargon that doesn't feel personal.

Our first session

I'll ask open-ended questions and engage in active listening as you relay insights about the support you need and what you're hoping to gain. I will offer feedback in consideration of meaningful goals. You'll leave with newfound clarity, confidence, and peace knowing you're no longer alone.
