More about me

Licensing: LMFT Years in Practice: 20 State: Indiana

I’m glad you’re here. You are looking for a way to feel better, cope better, and you’re taking steps. Maybe I am the one to walk this path with you.

My name is Brenda Truax and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve been serving individuals, couples, and families for 26 years. So many issues have been laid before me, and we always find a way to relieve some of the stress, doubts, and fears. You might be dealing with identity, depression, grief, anxiety, sexuality, relationships, trauma, parenting, or work issues. By using proven methods I can help you find new ways of dealing with these issues. The answers are already inside you, it’s just that often there is other noise in the way.

My style is laid back, accepting, and open to your truth. I find myself often laughing with clients in our sessions. After all, life can be ironic!

Let me know if I can help you learn more about yourself, your perspectives, and your interactions with the world.

It will be good to hear from you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Just started with Brenda. But she does seem very helpful. I just hadn’t found a good time for our 1st live session due to husband being around all the time. Doing session tomorrow. Looking forward!

Brenda has been truly great to work with so far. She has taught me several different techniques to lead a happier and healthier life.

Overall

Brenda has become somewhat of a life saver for me. She listens and gives honest feedback. Who knew an hour a week could help so much? I sure didn't. I've never done therapy before, so this has all been new to me. Brenda is helping me open my eyes to both recognizing and accepting change and where it is needed. I would not trade Brenda out for anyone.

Brenda is genuine and cool. She connects on a real level and meets you where you’re at without judgement and with a smile and a real response to help navigate emotions and situations. She’s like a friend here to listen and offer valid, effective advise on how to handle whatever issue (or just daily stuff) may arise. Super happy to have her and would absolutely recommend her.
