Attachment-Based Couples Therapy In Zionsville, Carmel & Fishers, Indiana
Services Available Virtually Throughout Indiana.
Start Feeling Close Again
Feeling stuck in the same loops, arguments that go nowhere, emotional distance, or fear of getting too close? You're not broken; past experiences and attachment styles are simply showing up in your relationship. Together, we can uncover these patterns, rebuild trust and safety, and help you both connect more deeply, openly, and securely, creating a partnership that feels nourishing instead of draining.
Does This Sound Like You as a Couple?
You keep having the same fights or the same silence — one of you reaches out for closeness while the other pulls back, or you both end up closing off — even though you really care about each other and want things to feel better.
You wish you could stay calm, be more present, and feel truly close — but something old gets triggered, and suddenly you're distant or on edge again.
You're exhausted from constantly second-guessing what to say, tiptoeing around each other, or feeling alone even when you're side by side.
Deep down, you both want to figure out why these same reactions keep happening so you can finally respond to each other with understanding, patience, and real closeness instead of pulling away or pushing too hard.
Imagine if you could shift from...
Just the steps that we'll journey together:
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 trauma-informed care, with specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I specialize in helping committed couples like you — thoughtful partners who want deeper, safer connections — but find yourselves caught in repeating patterns rooted in past wounds or unmet needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental: we go at your pace, using EFCT's structured process to gently uncover emotions, restructure negative cycles, and build new possibilities for trust, intimacy, and ease together.
Frequently asked questions
How long does couples therapy take?
It varies — many couples see meaningful shifts in 8–20 sessions of weekly work, with deeper bonding unfolding over time. We decide together based on your goals.
What if we don't know our attachment styles yet?
That's common and okay! We'll explore them together through gentle conversation and reflection — no pressure to label right away.
What are your fees?
Couples sessions are $300/75 minutes for the intake session and $250/60 minutes for follow-up sessions. I offer limited sliding scale spots when available — we can discuss this during our free consultation.
Can I book a first session immediately?
What should I expect from it? Yes, you can book your free 15-minute initial consultation or your first 60 minute session here [secure booking link/button]. In the first full session, we'll hear your story as a couple: what brings you here, the patterns/challenges, and your goals. It's a gentle space to build trust, start identifying the cycle, and begin exploring emotions — many couples leave feeling heard and hopeful.
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.
Couples vs. individual/family therapy?
This page is for partner-focused work on your shared patterns and connection. If issues involve one person's deeper individual (attach to individual page) work or family(attach to family page) dynamics, we can discuss adding individual/family sessions or referring.
Is therapy in-person or virtual?
Currently, I am only providing telehealth services.
What if we're nervous about starting?
Most couples feel that way at first. Our free 15-minute consultation is pressure-free — just a chance to talk and see if it feels like a fit.
Can we do couples therapy if one of us has individual trauma or mental health issues?
Absolutely — many couples come with one or both partners carrying past trauma, anxiety, depression, or attachment wounds. We can address how those show up in the relationship while focusing on the shared bond. If deeper individual work is needed, we can discuss adding individual sessions or referring appropriately.
Explore More Ways I Can Support You
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.
Family
Therapy
When family dynamics feel tense, stuck, or out of balance — whether it's parent-child conflicts, sibling issues, blended family challenges or more— family therapy helps everyone feel heard and understood.
Drawing on attachment and systems perspectives, we work to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and foster stronger, more supportive connections across the family.
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.
Together, we learn practical steps using TBRI and attachment principles: building trust, responding with connection first, then correcting the behavior with evidence-based tools.
Discover Your Attachment Style
Curious about how your attachment style shapes your relationships today? This focused, one-time session is a gentle interview-style exploration to identify your style (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized), understand its origins, and gain practical insights into patterns and growth opportunities. It's a great starting point or standalone tool for self-awareness.
Ready to Start Healing?
You don't have to keep repeating the same cycles. Understanding your attachment story as a couple is the first step toward showing up differently with more connection, trust, and joy in your partnership.
I'm here when you're ready.
