Emily Beal-nelis, LCSW — Therapist in Indiana

Hi there, I'm Emily!

Let's be real.... If you are finding yourself here, it's not because things are great. I strive to create a space for you to feel completely safe to talk about what you're struggling with, whether that be anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, work, or relationship issues.

My focus

Are you an Individual, First Responder, or family member carrying the hidden weight of your service and struggles? I specialize in working with individuals like you who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma-related stress.

My approach

My approach uses proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, integrated with Christian values, to offer you effective tools for healing and resilience.

My communication style

You can rely on me to be a non-judgmental but active collaborator. I will be direct in challenging unhelpful thought patterns, but always with deep respect for your experience. My role is to help you see where you're stuck and provide the tools to get moving again.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with grief and loss. During my own struggle, I discovered a powerful gift: the skill to support others through their pain. That insight became my purpose—to use my experience to guide you toward healing and hope.

My goals for you

We define concrete goals aligned with your purpose and values. Through CBT, you get actionable steps and tools to manage stress, trauma, and grief. We track progress to ensure lasting change and confident peace.

Our first session

In our first session, we will have an opportunity for us to get to know one another. Therapy is deeply personal, and this time is for you. I am here to help you through each step of the process.
