Postpartum trauma THERAPIST IN Indianapolis,IN
IT’S TIME TO TURN THAT FOCUS TOWARDS YOU.
JESSICA CHANDLER, LMHC, PMH-C
You're here because you are ready to break the cycle.
You're tired of saying yes when you really mean no. Your obligations are overwhelming. You never feel accomplished or that you are doing enough for your partner, family, or kids. You find yourself repeating the same cycles ending in self-doubt and overwhelm. You can’t remember a time you weren’t in survival mode. What if you had the skills to help you create real change?
You’re in the right spot.
Hi I'm Jessica Chandler (she/her).I'm a queer holistic therapist with a side of neurospicy. I'm the owner of Chandler Counseling and Wellness. I’m a full time stay at mom and working mom. I'm passionate about helping women and queer individuals navigate parenting/postpartum, pregnancy loss, and trauma. I help my clients in areas like people pleasing, overdoing, and overthinking. I love using techniques like nature based therapy and mindfulness to reduce burn out and improve self-worth.
How I work
At the core of my therapy is authenticity. I want my clients to be able to be themselves. I honor their stories and meet them where they are at.
I am dedicated to helping people find their authentic voice in an affirming safe place. You have the ability to rewrite your story. It deserves to be heard and understood in a place that both challenges you and grounds you. You can often find me drinking herbal tea, sitting awkwardly in a chair, and celebrating my client’s wins in sessions.
My clients have described me as someone that consistently shows up for them by being informative, patient with progress, and really focusing on what they themselves are needing out of therapy.
After my own struggles with postpartum and trauma, I learned that the most important part of the healing journey was having someone to talk to that knew what I was feeling without judgment. Having someone in your corner that really gets it, & wants you to feel supported can really make a difference.
HEre’s what I believe about therapy:
This isn't about becoming someone "different”. It’s about embracing your authentic true self.
Therapy can give perspective, aid in making authentic realizations about your own behaviors and celebrating your achievements.
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
To actively seek change is a gift. You are empowering your current and future self while also healing a past version of yourself.
You are inherently deserving of healthy, loving relationships with yourself.
I know that finding that compassionate voice is not easy, but I believe that you can with guidance and practice.
Get the support that’s right for you.
