More about me

Licensing: LPCC, LPAT, RPT Years in Practice: 15 State: Indiana

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Art Therapist, licensed in Kentucky. I have more than 12 years experience working with anxiety, depression, medical trauma, PTSD, ADHD, Autism, as well as bereavement and grief. My style is humanistic with a client-centered approach supporting evidenced-based intervention. I believe in human beings, in their capacity to grow, change and endure. I believe in using the strengths of the individual as the basis of finding solutions to existing difficulties and paths forward. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but am able to supplement this with Expressive therapies which can provide a deeper personal meaning to the pursuit of wellness. I believe in the importance of establishing a safe place for the building of relationship and communication with unconditional acceptance of the individual, and of holding that safe space open for the expression and movement of the individual in therapy.

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.

Overall

I have been working with Susan for the past 6 months and she has been the most kind, caring, compassionate and warm therapist. I look forwards to our weekly sessions and appreciate the knowledge she has to offer!

Jill is a great therapist with amazing insight into the root cause of issues experienced. She provides helpful tools and resources to aid in my healing journey and trusts in me to do the work required for growth. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with finding balance and peace in their lives.

I've been seeing Jill as my therapist for some time now (first in 2021) and her impact on my mental health journey has been profoundly positive. After dealing with severe anxiety and depression, I found in her not just a professional but a beacon of hope and understanding. There was a period when I felt well enough to pause therapy for over two years, but a recent setback led me back to her guidance. Jill stands out for her extraordinary kindness and calm demeanor. Every session with her is a testament to her deep respect, wisdom, and unparalleled expertise in dealing with mental health issues. She listens intently, and her responses are not just insightful but also reflect a high level of experience in the field. One of the most striking aspects of Jill's approach is her ability to provide practical immediate relief alongside long-term strategies. For instance she introduced me to specific exercises like breathing/massage techniquess to activate certain nervous systems. These exercises brought about instant relaxation and relief, which triggered highly positive emotions / sensations. What I appreciate the most is Jill's respectful and understanding nature. She creates a safe space where I feel heard and validated. Her sessions are more than just conversations; they're learning experiences that have equipped me with the tools to combat my anxiety and depression. In summary, Jill is an exceptional therapist whose expertise, kindness, and practical approach to therapy have been instrumental in my mental health journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled professional in dealing with mental health challenges.

Susan makes speaking about tough subjects a lot easier. She listens with empathy and responds with compassion. I appreciate how Susan is always ready to support me in any area of my life and makes sure she is understanding my needs.

Jill is a wonderful therapist. She is helpful and encouraging. I feel very supported by her and I have seen a huge improvement in myself since we started working together

Jill listens. Has a great sense humour which also moves me. I look forward to our sessions. Always leave the session having learned something I can take with me in my daily life. I have made significant changes with Jill’s Guidance.

Very educated and respectful

Jill tailors the therapy to your needs and brings expert advice, tools and techniques to make you grow as a human. 10/10.

Definitely a light in this world! Thank you....

Though I was not able to continue with Jill, I value the sessions we did have. Jill listened to me and promoted an awareness that prompted me to view things differently than I had been. She is very kind and compassionate and easy to talk with.

After two sessions she has changed my life. She is the third therapist I have had overall in my life. I have never had someone so insightful, prepared and attentive, as her. I am truly grateful the change she is making in my life.

Susan is very lovely to speak with. She is a great listener and gives really kind and uplifting advice. She is very respectful and I have really enjoyed our sessions together.

I love working with Jill. I always feel so much better after our sessions and feel capable moving forward into the week ahead.

Great help in assertiving my concerns and helping to detangle my situations! Like her approach as a therapist!

Jill has such a warm and loving energy, she helped me work through issues relating to anger and emotion regulation, fear of abandonment, self-love and self-esteem. I am so lucky to have found her!

My therapist is exactly what I need. I’m so grateful

Jill offers very helpful advice and gives you new perspectives. Recommend!

Knowing I have a safe place to put the pandemic fatigue, frustrations of work and personal life is a great comfort during a challenging time. Jill is the perfect combination of listener, gentle advice and pull you up short when needed!

Very pleased with Jill, she help me identify what my issues are and has encouraged me to believe I can fight back against it.

Jill has been a huge help to me. She helped me through a hard time after ending an emotionally abusive relationship that left me feeling confused, hurt, and broken. She listens well and gives you points to reflect on. I highly recommend her!

Susan is helping me coping with the challenges I am facing . She is a great listener and understands my situation . Glad to have her as my therapist

Jill is an attentive listener and a very supportive therapist. She offers various strategies to tackle issues in my life and gets to the root of my problems and how to work through them.

she is really amazing understands me better and especially listens very carefully and gives advice with pure intentions and care

Jill has been very supportive and empathetic, and has helped me to think about and change how I think of myself, for the better. I find her easy to talk to, and she understands my problems. I would happily come back to her for more counselling if I need it in the future.

Jill has been amazing at helping me through my health anxiety. In 2 months I have seen a huge positive change in myself. She is a great listener and responder. So glad to have found her!

Wonderful therapist just the platform too expensive

Jill has helped me gain confidence in myself and gave me the space to explore my thoughts and emotions in a healthy way. I have been able to get my self-esteem and agency back because of her. Thank you Jill!

Jill has been a key part in my recovery of getting over some childhood trauma and working through current relationships due to this trauma. I am so thrilled to have found her!

Initially, I met with Jill regarding work stressors and deaths of coworkers. She ultimately counseled when I left that job and prepared for a cross-country move to assist an adult child needed my support. If she were licensed in the state I'm relocating to, I'd continue with her. I'd recommend her to anyone, especially middle-aged women with stress, depression and facing life changes.

Excellent listener and responder

Susan "Jill" has been amazing in helping me deal with my trauma around sexual abuse. She has found different ways to help me express my feeling and issues that can help me move forward with my life.

Very understanding and kind. Highly recommend her

Jill has been a great find. I was totally hesitant about starting therapy sessions to ease my anxiety, but she has been such a good fit. After only two weeks I feel incredibly more capable of handling whatever comes my way. The simple tools that she has shared and suggestions for subtle life changes have been an amazing resource. I am so grateful.

She is attentive and lovely. She doesn’t judge or disbelieve you.
