Amy Spallinger, LCSW — Therapist in Indiana

Hi there, I'm Amy!

Taking the risk to start therapy can be scary, but you have taken the first step! My hope is that you will find this to be a safe and judgment-free environment.

My focus

Whether you are struggling with anxious thoughts, depression, life transitions, physical illness, or trauma, we will work together to create a plan and identify healthy coping skills that will help you achieve your goals.

My approach

I consider my therapy techniques to be eclectic, using CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), mindfulness, narrative, and trauma-informed approaches. Together, we will set goals and work on finding ways to achieve them. I use a client-centered approach, which means that your needs and goals will be the priority.

My communication style

I encourage you to share as openly and honestly as you feel comfortable. I am an empathetic listener and want to understand your perspective and experiences. I am not directive in my communication, meaning I won't tell you what to do. Often, there are multiple ways to solve a problem, and I want to help you find the one that works best for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in a variety of settings, and I am always amazed at the courage people have. It is a great privilege to walk alongside you during this time.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify and set goals based on what you want to work on in therapy. If things change, we can always amend the goals.

Our first session

During the first session, we will get to know each other. I will ask questions about all areas of your life to better understand where you are. If you aren't ready to answer any questions, that is ok. You will also have a chance to ask questions so you feel comfortable with the process.
