I have been a practicing social worker for 5 years providing individual and couples therapy for adults with various mental health and substance use needs. I use a person-centered approach with evidenced-based therapeutic interventions including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I support individuals to create behavior change based on values, manage their symptoms and reach their therapeutic goals. I enjoy working with individuals with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, family/relationship challenges, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. My practice is centered on compassion, empathy, and respect. My focus is on supporting your journey by bringing meaning and fulfillment back into your life.
Through creativity and warmth, we work with clients to facilitate personal growth to help navigate an often confusing world.

I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community and the many challenges that they face daily.

Life is difficult and we are not always taught the best ways of coping with this stress, especially in our society. I am passionate about helping people make fulfilling change so that they can be who they are and live life to the fullest. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me so I can help you on your journey.

I work best with students seeking to understand the deeper sources of their issues. Many students experience anxiety and depression especially when first entering college. This can be very difficult and disruptive personally, socially and academically. Often there are feelings of deep sadness, uncertainty, fear, loneliness, shame and anger. There is a way through this difficult time and I would be very interested to work it through with you.
Connected in Community is a mental health and wellness practice born out of a desire to provide a safe and comfortable environment for people to grieve, celebrate, and heal despite the complexities of the society we live in. The staff uses a blend of traditional psychotherapy informed by Critical Race Theory, Feminism, Abolition, Queer inclusion, and other liberation-centered ideas to guide their work.
At Helix Health Group we believe creating an environment of health and wellness begins with an open empathetic therapeutic relationship. A place where people feel safe to explore their family/relationship dynamics, unresolved traumas, and coping mechanisms. Through this exploration we will discover in what ways these impact your life. All the while, working together to identify your individual strengths and how we can adapt these to empower growth. We will establish an individual treatment plan that may include medications, complementary and alternative wellness interventions, and/or psychotherapy. Our focus is building strong therapeutic alliances, facilitating personal & professional growth, and treating all mental health conditions including addictions with modern medical interventions and psychotherapy. We are passionate about mental health and helping others appreciate their individual strengths.

Dr. Joseph Soza is a clinical psychologist who helps adults understand themselves more deeply and create lasting, meaningful change. His work blends insight-oriented, psychodynamic therapy with practical, evidence-based approaches, offering a space where clients can explore long-standing patterns, navigate anxiety, OCD, depression, or relationship difficulties, and develop a clearer sense of who they are and what they want. Dr. Soza is a strong fit for individuals who are curious, reflective, and ready to engage in a thoughtful therapeutic process—people who want more than quick tips and are seeking genuine understanding, emotional growth, and a therapist who will work alongside them with warmth, honesty, and intention.
Anxiety, depression, school stress/pressure, and relationships stress can feel heavy... You want relief, clarity, and help getting through it all. You’re looking for a space where you can finally understand what’s happening and feel more grounded and in control. You don’t have to manage this alone. I know how overwhelming it feels when you’re doing your best but still feel stuck or exhausted. If you’re ready for support, I’m here to help you sort through what’s weighing on you and take the next steps toward feeling better.
I work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or trying to make sense of a lot of emotions at once. You might be navigating big transitions, relationship stress, academic pressure, or feeling unsure about who you are or what comes next. Sometimes everything looks “fine” on the outside, but internally it feels heavy or hard to manage. The students I work with are often thoughtful and self-aware, but may feel stuck, overthinking, or emotionally drained. They’re looking for a space where they can slow down, understand what they’re feeling, and learn how to manage stress in a way that actually works for them. If you’re open to exploring your experiences, building emotional awareness, and finding more balance and clarity, we would likely be a good fit.

Bring your whole self and a willingness to be an active participant in the process and we will too. Together, we’ll set goals and create a plan to help you become your fullest self. We look forward to working with you!
I believe that you are the expert on your own story. Creating a safe, warm, and affirming space for clients to come as they are without judgment is of utmost importance to me as a therapist. I want you to feel that you are known, seen, and heard – by entering your story with a sense of curiosity and understanding. I enjoy working with clients who have specific goals that they would like to accomplish in therapy – but if you’ve never experienced this before or don’t know where to begin, that’s okay too. We’ll work together to find your expertise, implement techniques you can take outside of our sessions, and start to fulfill your dreams. As someone who has been on the other side of the counseling room, I know firsthand how imperative it is to connect and vibe with your counselor. If I’m not a good fit for you, I’ll refer you to another therapist who might be. I provide both in-person and Telehealth sessions. My out-of-pocket fee is $125. I am willing to slide my fee to $75 a session in order to meet the needs at hand. I graduated in August 2021 with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Indiana Wesleyan University. My practice is informed by a blend of Attachment Theory, Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I’m developing clinical expertise in writing letters for gender-affirming surgery, sexual and gender identity issues, couples therapy, and a variety of mental illnesses. I’m passionate about empowering people to become who they truly are so that they can achieve the goals and dreams they have for themselves. I also enjoy finding the best taco places around, dancing, traveling the world, and spending quality time with friends. I’d love to spend time with you and hear your story.

College is awesome, but it can be really tough, too. Juggling school with the rest of your life--work, family, friends, relationships--can take a toll on your mental health. Anxiety, stress, depression, and even suicidal thoughts are not uncommon, but you don't have to navigate them alone. My internship was at IUPUI CAPS, and I have lots of experience as an advisor and adjunct professor, so I know better than most how stressful college can be. I'd love to help you turn down the volume in your mind and move toward the life you want.
