LaDortha Mitchell-Young, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IN
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a Master's in Social Work from IU Indianapolis. Let me assist you in navigating difficult emotions by learning healthy coping skills designed to build a positive self-image rooted in self-love and self-worth, which will support fulfilling and meaningful relationships. My approach Your journey is unique, and so is my approach. I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can feel heard and empowered. I use eclectic methods, including strength-based, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, reality/choice therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. My focus With over ten years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I understand how life stressors, changes, and trauma can contribute to self-doubt. Hearing phrases like ?You can't,? ?You will never amount to anything,? or believing your circumstances define your future can be overwhelming and make you feel worthless. I am here to tell you that none of that is true. Change is attainable, and I can help! Once the layer of trauma is peeled back, you will gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you and begin the journey of rediscovering yourself. I enjoy working with-and my approach is effective for-those dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Additionally, I am certified to work with victims of sexual abuse and youth with sexually maladaptive behaviors. My communication style I strive to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space. I am a kind, empathetic, authentic, and direct practitioner who seeks to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship. My journey to mental healthcare Having experienced and witnessed traumatic events in my life, I understand how they can influence your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The effects of childhood and life traumas can shape a person's worldview.
