Karen Fatouros, LMHC — Therapist in Indiana

Hi there, I'm Karen!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed School Counselor, with additional certifications in substance abuse and hypnosis. I specialize in supporting adults through challenges like depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I also have a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals & those within the school system.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults, especially those stuck in recurring patterns or facing significant life transitions. I'm passionate about helping individuals find their voice, improve coping strategies, and move past blocks like anxiety, depression, or stress.

My approach

My approach is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive, Behavioral, Adlerian, Mindfulness, Strength-Based, and Person-Centered therapies. For those open to it, I also offer hypnotherapy as an optional tool to help achieve deeper peace. Let's work together to help you find balance and clarity on your journey.

My communication style

I'm a down-to-earth, no-nonsense therapist who believes in giving it to you straight. At the same time, I'm deeply empathic and supportive as we work together to navigate life's hurdles. My personal and professional background help me connect with people from all walks of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've known I wanted to be a counselor for as long as I can remember. Life is hard and not always fair. Growing up, I experienced many of the challenges people face–my parents’ divorce, attending nine different schools, and witnessing the harsh realities of suicidal behavior, substance abuse, racism, and sexual harassment.

My goals for you

Life can be tough, but I'm here to help you make sense of it. With over 20 years of experience in behavioral interventions, I've honed the skill of identifying the root of the problem. Together, we can create a step-by-step plan to break old habits and move in a new direction.

Our first session

I'm a therapist here to listen to and understand your concerns. Together, we'll set realistic goals and break the cycle that keeps you stuck. Life can feel like a merry-go-round, but if you're ready to step off and move forward, I'll be here to guide you.
