Attachment-Based Family Therapy in Zionsville, Carmel & Fishers, Indiana
Services Available Virtually Throughout Indiana.
From Conflict to Connection
When family life feels tense, disconnected, or out of balance — arguments that repeat, kids pulling away, parents feeling overwhelmed, or everyone walking on eggshells — it's often old patterns and unmet needs showing up in the system. You're not failing as a family; these are signals that safety and connection need rebuilding. Together, we gently uncover what's driving the cycles, help everyone feel heard and understood, and create new ways of relating that bring more harmony, trust, and closeness to your home.
Does This Sound Like Your Family?
Struggling with a teen — big emotions, defiance, withdrawal, risky behavior, school stress, or feeling like you can’t reach them anymore.
Major life stressors like divorce/separation, blended family adjustments, relocation, job loss, financial strain, illness, grief/loss, or welcoming a new child/adoption — all disrupting stability and creating tension.
Inability to connect emotionally with a child — feeling distant, unsure how to reach them, or watching them shut down even though you love them deeply.
Ongoing arguments, blame, yelling, or silence that leave everyone exhausted and walking on eggshells.
One family member’s anxiety, depression, anger, or behavioral challenges affecting the whole home.

Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I'm Lea — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Zionsville, Carmel and Fishers, Indiana
I'm deeply passionate about attachment theory, relational trauma, and family systems work, with training in attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches for families. I specialize in helping families like yours — loving parents and kids who want stronger connections — but find yourselves caught in repeating patterns of tension, distance, or overwhelm. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental: we go at your family's pace, gently uncovering dynamics, building safety for everyone, and creating new possibilities for trust, communication, and closeness. Understanding these patterns isn't about blame — it's the key to healing, and I'd be truly honored to walk that path with your family.
Frequently asked questions
How long does family therapy take?
It varies — many families see meaningful shifts in 8–20 sessions of weekly or bi-weekly work, with deeper changes unfolding over time. We decide together based on your goals.
Does everyone have to attend every session?
Not always — we can start with parents only, include kids when ready, or meet in subgroups (e.g., parents + one child). Flexibility helps everyone feel safe to participate.
What are your fees?
Family sessions are 350$/90 minutes for intake sessions and 300$/75 minutes for follow-up sessions. I offer limited sliding scale spots when available — we can discuss this during our free consultation.
Can we book our first session immediately? What should we expect?
Yes, you can book your free 15-minute initial consultation for the family (or your first full 50–60 minute session) right here [secure booking link/button]. In the first full session, we’ll create a safe space to hear your family's story: what brought you here, the repeating patterns or challenges, and what you hope for. We start gently — listening to each person, noticing the family dynamic, and exploring emotions without blame. Most families leave feeling heard, lighter, and more hopeful about the path ahead.
Do you take insurance or provide superbills for PPO/out-of-network reimbursement?
I do not bill insurance directly (sessions are self-pay/cash-pay). As an out-of-network provider, I work with PPO plans and provide monthly superbills (detailed statements) for you to submit for reimbursement. This approach keeps your care fully private—no session notes or treatment plans are shared with insurance—and gives us maximum flexibility. I recommend checking your plan’s out-of-network mental health/telehealth benefits or calling your insurer. We can discuss during our free consultation.
Family vs. couples/individual therapy?
This page is for work focused on the whole family system and shared dynamics. If issues center on a couple's relationship or one person's individual patterns, we can discuss adding couples/individual sessions or referring.
Is therapy in-person or virtual?
Currently, I am only providing telehealth services.
What if someone in the family is nervous or resistant?
That's very common. Our free 15-minute consultation is pressure-free — just a chance for the family (or parents first) to talk and see if it feels like a fit. We go slowly, build safety, and never force participation.

Individual
Therapy
If you’re carrying relational patterns or past wounds that quietly affect your life — whether it shows up as anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty in relationships, low self-worth, emotional numbness, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand — individual therapy offers a safe, one-on-one space to explore and heal at your own pace.
Together, we develop new ways of responding to yourself and others that feel more secure, authentic, and freeing.

Relationship
Support
Virtual psychoeducational support for adults anywhere inside and outside the U.S. Focused purely on understanding your relational patterns, attachment style, and how past experiences influence your current relationships today.
Ideal for pre-marital/pre-engagement prep, co-parenting guidance, divorce guidance or more.
Foster/Adoptive/
Kinship Support
Foster and adoptive children often come from backgrounds that cause escalated or unpredictable behaviors. Parents may feel unsure how to manage them or connect emotionally — that's normal with trauma history.
