Jill Ertel, LCSW

Jill Ertel, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IN
I am an LCSW licensed in Indiana, with a Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis. My approach to therapy is fluid and personalized. I like to take time to explore what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past, what you’re willing to try, what you want to avoid, and your personal goals for therapy. From there, I build on your strengths and motivations to help you achieve what you are looking for. Common needs I address include anxiety, depression, family or marital issues, life goals, or simply feeling stuck. Typical therapeutic approaches I use include CBT, DBT, strength- and goals-focused methods, and motivational interviewing. However, I recognize that people often need more than one approach or something completely different, and I’m open to finding what works best for you. Throughout my time as a therapist, I’ve worked with a wide range of needs such as addiction treatment, family reunification, couples education for healthy relationships and communication skills, domestic violence, career development goal setting, and navigating life changes. An ideal therapeutic relationship for me involves using evidence-based practices to explore what you want in life, identify roadblocks on your path, and set realistic, attainable goals to move forward. I also understand that the path you set at the beginning of therapy may change as you grow, and I am always open to shifting gears to find what works for you. My journey to mental healthcare began after a brief time working in a group home, where I was encouraged to pursue therapy myself. I was fortunate to have someone who saw my potential to live a fulfilling life, and I want to be that person for others. What drives me is witnessing those “ah ha” moments when the pieces start to come together, clients recognize what they need, and we begin to map out how to get there.
