Anxiety can be a controlling force that keeps us from living the lives we want. I work with adults struggling with anxiety; which can look like excessive worry, self-critical thoughts, or struggling with life change. I help people acknowledge and process anxiety in a safe space at their own pace. My passion is to help people become unglued from anxiety so that they can live meaningful lives; lives that are inspired by their values and the people they care about. I utilize EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people get unstuck from their difficulties so they live the lives they want to live. Together, we'll practice methods to help you get unstuck from anxiety while also exploring ways you can engage with the things that make life meaningful like your family, friends, or your values. Deciding to pursue therapy can be a scary choice, but it can also be the choice that helps you become the person you know you can be. I want to journey with you to help you reach your full potential. If you are ready to embark on this journey, feel free to reach out. I can't wait to meet you!

Everyone tells you that college is the best time in your life and to enjoy it because it flies by. But what people don’t tell you is all the challenges that it can bring. Maybe it’s the first time you are away from your family and friends from home. It can also bring many challenges with pressure to drink or use drugs, navigating friendships and dating in a more complicated way, and figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life. You might be in a position where in order to afford school you need to work on top of doing well in all your classes. I know personally how challenging, yet exciting, this time can be, and I am here to tell you that you don’t need to figure it all out on your own or even right now. Are you ready to enjoy your college experience, be fully present in the great moments without feeling stresses weighing you down everyday? It’s time to feel a sense of relief, confidence in who you are, and in your decisions. Together, we can make your life feel lighter and free up space for everything else you have going on! My Approach: I am a strong believer in the power of relationships. Having someone to talk to can increase our sense of happiness and positivity, and most importantly let us know that we are not alone. Life has many ups and downs, but it's what you do with them that matters. I am here to help you transform the tough moments into growth. Therapy with me looks like an open dialogue, where we both respect each other's point of view and collaborate to find solutions that help you overcome what’s been holding you back. We can talk about anything, no matter how hard it is to share. Whether it’s the good things or the bad, I am ready to hold space for even the strongest emotions that come up, because I know we can work through it together. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that not only looks at your thoughts and feelings, but also how your environment, your cultural experiences, close relationships, and health, affect your mental wellbeing. We’ll use a variety of therapeutic techniques to best fit what you need, because therapy is not a one size fits all approach. We’ll make sure that those techniques are really working for you. It might be practicing mindfulness or trying out different coping skills to help things feel less overwhelming. Our approach will continue to grow as our therapeutic relationship develops. I know that therapy is not always easy, but I am here to support you each step of the way and I will always accept you for how you are in that moment, even the hard ones. A Little About Me: I went into undergrad undecided and had a hard time knowing what I wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to do something to help people and I wanted a career that I would enjoy. I always felt behind in some way because I didn’t know what I wanted to do right away. I have learned that a lot of people have a unique path to get to where they are. I worked as a school social worker for 8 years before private practice and that is when I really knew I loved counseling and wanted to continue on this path. I have lived in the Chicago area for most of my life and love the city! You can find me by the lake or exploring all the city has to offer. My hobbies are all over the place and include a mixture of baking, triathlons, knitting, going on long walks and finding the best matcha. I also love traveling (but hate flying) and have an ever growing list of places I want to visit.

Welcome. My intention in therapy is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I bring curiosity, kindness, and genuine care into every session, and I honor you as the expert of your own life. My role is to be a steady guide and support as we explore what healing and growth can look like together. I draw on my experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families to help clients with anxiety, OCD, depression, and related concerns, using approaches such as ACT, ERP, and MBCT to tailor treatment. Sessions provide a supportive, trauma-informed, culturally responsive space for growth and change.

Hi! My name is Stacy, and I am really happy you're here. College can be exciting... and overwhelming. Between classes, relationships, expectations, and figuring out who you are, it is A LOT to carry on your own. Having worked in higher ed for over 20 years, I recognize the unique pressures you face - performance demands, identity exploration, and finding the balance between independence and support. I know one thing for sure - the college transition is a rocky one for most of us and reaching out for support is one of the smartest things you can do. I work with LGBTQ+, athlete, and faith-based students as well as those struggling with addiction, body and/or eating issues. Together, we can address any challenge you are facing.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), I specialize in providing highly tailored therapeutic support and executive functioning coaching exclusively to college students at Indiana University and around the country. I understand that guiding a young adult through the collegiate transition from afar can be incredibly stressful for families. My practice is deliberately structured to help students build resilience, while providing out-of-town parents with comprehensive advisory support and absolute peace of mind. Whether your student is navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, or a deficit in motivation and executive functioning, my goal is to deliver proactive, highly structured intervention. Through our bespoke consulting packages, we ensure students thrive both academically and personally, without falling through the cracks of large university systems. Specialized Therapeutic & Executive Function Support I provide focused, high-touch support tailored to the unique academic and personal demands of the college years, including: Executive Functioning & Motivation: Installing robust weekly schedules, study rules, and workflows to combat paralysis and build self-driven habits. Targeted Mental Health Care: Private therapeutic support for college-specific challenges, including anxiety, depression, and substance use. Academic Monitoring: Ongoing oversight, accountability check-ins, and early-warning risk detection to catch issues before they escalate into academic crises. Parent Advisory & Coaching: Direct guidance on establishing healthy boundaries, utilizing our Parent Oversight Framework, and navigating complex family dynamics. Why Families Choose Our Practice Bespoke Support Tiers: From targeted Individual Counseling, theSemester Launch setups or my 12-month Semester Concierge engagements, we provide the exact level of intervention your family requires. Executive-Level Advisory: We act as a "family office" for your students well-being, providing parents with regular status briefs and clear guidance on what to monitor versus what to ignore. Proactive Risk Containment: We do not wait for a crisis. We install systems, monitor academic progress, and coordinate a proactive strategy to ensure consistency and long-term independence. Recognized Authority: As the author of The Insiders Guide to Parenting and The Insider's Guide to College, and host of The Better Semester podcast, my frameworks are grounded in nearly 25 years of specialized clinical experience. Background & Expertise With a Master's degree in Community Counseling and extensive clinical training, I have dedicated my career to collegiate mental health. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic practices with strategic, high-level advisory. I partner closely with families globally to reduce friction, establish clarity, and create a master plan for their young adult's success.

For the past 20 years, my clinical focus has been helping people ages 10 and up who have identified depression, anxiety, life transitions and family issues as sources of stress in their life that they wish to work through. My clients come to me to reduce/eliminate their symptoms and regain their own definition of ideal functioning. I also support my clients through difficult life transitions and/or family issues. I am known in my community for working with adolescents and young adults at Purdue University.

Being human is messy, complex and multi-faceted. While we possess remarkable abilities, we can sometimes encounter obstacles or setbacks for various reasons. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship can be a highly effective step toward healing and growth. Counseling offers support in cultivating healthier relationships with yourself and others. If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, seeking greater control in your life, aiming for improved emotional stability, or looking to develop a more positive self-view, counseling can be a valuable resource. Reaching out for help demonstrates strength and courage. Please contact me to discuss whether we would be a good fit.

College can be exciting — and overwhelming. If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or just not like yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through challenges like anxiety, life transitions, and relationship struggles. Virtual sessions make it easy to fit therapy into your busy schedule.

Do you have insomnia or struggle with nightmares? Want to improve your mood, reduce worry/anxious thoughts, change unwanted behaviors, or better manage a tough relationship? My niche is working with clients seeking medium to short-term (1 year or less), goal-oriented counseling. Studies show many people benefit from this more focused approach. Sometimes even a handful of sessions can get you moving in a better direction! I'll help you identify realistic, concrete steps to make the changes you want to see in your life & together we'll create a plan to work toward your goals. (Note: this is not a good fit for every person/problem.) I'm a Psychologist with 22 years of experience & work with adults age 18+. I use evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrate aspects of ACT & Mindfulness if appropriate for your needs. I'm also trained in CBT for Insomnia & CBT-Nightmares, both of which are shown to have positive benefits on other mental health symptoms. It can be hard to start counseling, especially if this is your first time or you found counseling un-helpful in the past. Good for you for taking this first step toward feeling better! Let's schedule a 15 minute phone conversation to find out what you're looking to accomplish through counseling & if we might be a good fit. Please note: I do not provide assessments/testing, and I do not write letters/complete forms for Emotional Support Animals, probation, court/legal situations, disabilities, ADHD, learning disorders, etc..

Life doesn’t come with a manual, especially during transitions. You’re trying to figure out who you are, where you're going, and how to manage everything from school, relationships, work, and just... existing. Maybe you're in college or recently graduated, or you're trying to adult for real—but anxiety, low motivation, or just feeling stuck is getting in the way. If you're navigating big life transitions, struggling with overthinking, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, or mild depression, you're not alone. These years can be exciting—but also overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with Adults, emerging adults and young professionals who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and connected. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore your thoughts without judgment, build tools that actually work for you, and move from just surviving to genuinely living. Therapy with me is collaborative, real, and tailored to what you need—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor when it's needed most. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, you're welcome here. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Let’s start where you are. Please schedule directly with my website

Everyone deserves support, however they arrive — color-coded planner in hand or running five minutes late with coffee spilled down their shirt. Anxious, calm, talkative, quiet, existentially confused — you’re welcome here. The bigger question is really: Am I your kind of therapist? You might read my profile and think, “She gets me,” or, “Why is she so emotionally invested in foxes and axolotls?” Either way, I promise I’m still licensed. I’m an LPC-MHSP, LCPC with over nine years of experience. I mainly work with PTSD, OCD, DV/SA, and BPD. I also see a range of other concerns—because humans are complex, and the universe did not consult the DSM before handing out life experiences. People usually open up more when they don’t feel pressure to perform or deliver a TED Talk about their feelings. Autonomy matters to me. You get to ask questions, collaborate on your treatment, and arrive exactly as you are — glamorously put-together or held together by three bobby pins and sheer willpower. If you need to laugh, cry, swear, or take a strategic pause while your soul hits “buffering,” that’s part of the process. Life gets messy… it's real and unfiltered. *** I schedule by appt so I do not have posted hours. Please just reach out. I am flexible!

Welcome—I'm really glad you're here! College can be exciting, but it can also be a lot. Classes, relationships, family pressure, figuring out your future—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of yourself. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, stress, or anger that feels hard to manage. Maybe you're struggling with a relationship, exploring your identity, or just feeling stuck. You don’t have to go through it alone. I work well with students who are thoughtful, stressed, curious, or just trying to get a handle on things. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I should be able to deal with this,” but nothing’s changing, therapy might be the space you need. Our sessions are a place for real talk. You bring whatever's on your mind, and I’ll listen without judgment. We’ll figure out what’s going on, talk it through, and I’ll offer practical tools to help you handle what life throws at you. We can cover anything from academic stress and relationship drama to anger, sex, identity questions, or big life decisions. Everything is online, so you can talk to me from your dorm, apartment, or anywhere you feel comfortable. If this sounds like what you need, or if you're just curious about how therapy could help, reach out. You don’t have to do college—and everything that comes with it—on your own. You can schedule directly at www.buckblack.com

Maybe what aches most is not the change itself, but the fear that someone you love is slipping out of reach — even if that someone is you. Everything feels different, yet somehow the same. One minute you are putting on pajamas, and the next you are spiraling because it is the first moment of quiet you have had all day. There is this gut feeling that your heart can no longer be bound with band-aids, but soul-searching is a lot before the alarm goes off tomorrow. You do not have to make sense of it all alone at midnight — that is what I am here for. I support clients ages 13–30s through this season of becoming — identity, relationships, independence, pressure, purpose, and transition. With evidence-based care and expressive arts, we use guided reflection, practical strategies, and creative exploration to turn overwhelm into clarity, awaken new direction, and find the light at the end of the tunnel. There is no perfect place to begin. Arrive as you are! I offer virtual therapy sessions for clients located in California, Indiana, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. I am available for a free 15-minute phone consultation, and I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting.

Kenna is a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 10 years of experience. She is a nationally certified counselor and independently licensed in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

Perhaps you’re struggling to find your rhythm in a fast-moving world, or questioning your direction altogether. Life can feel especially heavy when you’re carrying it alone. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to. It's okay to be unsure or even scared about starting this journey. What matters most is that you're here, looking for a new way forward. And we're here to walk alongside you. We provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapy for adults navigating emotional and psychological challenges. We are a social justice oriented psychotherapy collective, committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for all clients to explore their lived experiences.

What’s keeping you stuck? Are you struggling to understand why relationships keep failing or why your job or school is depleting you? Are you overwhelmed, trapped in a pattern of people pleasing, or struggling with anxious thoughts you can’t seem to stop? Are you high-achieving or perfectionistic and struggling to find peace in your life? Maybe you’re just grappling with the existential questions and wondering what the meaning of all of this is. I specialize in helping people get unstuck, gain confidence, and create the lives they want. I teach you how to cultivate calm in your body and understand how thoughts and internal narratives influence feelings and behaviors. You will learn how to position yourself as the observer of your emotions (like anxiety, irritability), so you can respond intentionally—rather than on autopilot. I provide insightful online therapy that allows you to feel seen, heard, and understood - all in the comfort of your home. I love doing the deep work that helps you better understand yourself and empowers you to build the life you want.

I specialize in providing a safe space to work through life challenges. I utilize cognitive behavioral practices, mindfulness and EMDR. I look forward to working with you!
