Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN
Hi! My name is Katelyn Downs and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I currently am specialized in working with clients who are struggling with issues such as unprocessed trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, and general stress/life transitions. I especially enjoy and have extensive training in working with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of trauma. I can help you develop coping skills to reduce the symptoms you may be having, build healthy relationships and attachments, process thoughts and memories you may be avoiding or have never talked through before, meet goals for personally and educationally, and always meet you with non-judgmental compassion. I do my best to help ease your anxiety as I know that first session can be stressful and you may be skeptical or unsure what to expect. Know that you experience in therapy is what YOU want it to be, and I am only a guide to assist you in creating the life you want and deserve.

Who I Help My approach works best for students who: Feel anxious about their studies or future career choices. Struggle with balancing social life, academics, and personal well-being.

How I Work I use clear, everyday language to explain ideas and strategies—no confusing jargon here. Whether you're dealing with stress, low self-esteem, or just need someone to listen, my goal is to help you understand your situation better and build practical steps toward a healthier, more balanced life. Why This Might Be Right for You If you’re a student looking for a compassionate professional who understands the unique pressures of campus life, we might be a great fit.

Have you experienced overwhelming stress in your life? Do you often feel unseen, unwanted, or under-appreciated? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or easily irritated? Maybe you’re not even sure why, but you have a feeling something is just not working well. Your relationships don’t offer the support you wish they did. You feel isolated, overwhelmed and angry much of the time, or you are either avoiding conflict or having more arguments than you’d like. You toggle between wanting to people-please to feel seen and wanting to run off to live alone on an island somewhere off grid. But you know there’s more than this cycle you feel trapped in, a way to feel better, to understand the deeper roots of what’s contributing to your stress, and a way to break free. I help guide you in understanding and managing your emotions, developing coping strategies, and facilitating healing and growth. I provide a safe and supportive space for you to process your experiences, helping you regain a sense of control and resilience. In gardening, the unwanted or overgrown parts of a plant must be trimmed back or cut away to allow for fruit or blossoms to grow. Sometimes, we need to do the same in our life. Although pruning may sound painful and difficult, it is not a punishment. Pruning enhances growth by removing what inhibits us and allows us to grow. It may take some work, but you will not be alone.

From birth to death, life is a constant transition. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents, adults, couples, and families, who are struggling with issues such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, high-functioning autism, trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and grief. I have extensive training and experience in working with LGBTQIA+ clients and families, as well as transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming care.

I integrate techniques from positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience. With a focus on individual strengths and potential, I empower clients to overcome challenges and live more fulfilling lives. Life's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns. Whether you're navigating a significant life transition, grieving a loss, or coping with a chronic illness, you don't have to face them alone.

Hi! Like many therapists, I'm a 30-something cis, white woman who likes earth tones and metaphors. I especially enjoy working with individuals with mood disorders, complex trauma, chronic illness, and psychosis, as well as those who identify as artists/creatives and recovering perfectionists. I draw from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Health at Every Size (HAES), Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. However, my most impactful training has happened in conversation with clients themselves. I recognize how my identities contribute to a power differential with my clients, especially when working with marginalized populations. I work to interrupt this power differential whenever possible by being antiracist in my work and prioritizing humility and transparency. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is key to any kind of growth and change, and therefore first honor creating an authentic relationship with the clients I work with.

Hello! Since obtaining my Masters in Social Work from IUPUI, I have been an individual, family and school-based therapist working with clients of all ages ranging from 3-years-old and up. I have worked with behavioral problems, school-based struggles, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, marital/relationship struggles, mood disorders, counseling before geriatric surgery, self-esteem issues, parenting, grief and loss, clients involved with DCS and probation, and adjusting to life’s changes. I utilize a trauma-focused approach that draws from tenets of strengths-based approaches, CBT, DBT and solution-focused techniques. I believe an important aspect of counseling is a trusting therapeutic relationship. I focus on a non-judgmental and accepting approach as I work to get to know you so that you feel confident and comfortable expressing feelings. Having a good connection with a therapist can help create the foundation for effective change and progress in the counseling experience. With a strong therapeutic relationship, we can work together as a team to work through whatever it is you are facing. You do not have to go through life’s struggles alone. Contact me today to get started!
In my practice, I often help people with understanding and managing their emotional experiences. This includes helping people to face and move on from past traumas, understand and change behaviors that are causing them problems in the present day, and learning how to tolerate the ups and downs of life.
