Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Life has a way of shaping us through both beauty and heartbreak. I deeply understand anger, anxiety, and existential dilemmas. My own journey has been one of profound feeling, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to growth.
Growth begins when we are willing to meet ourselves with honesty, curiosity, and care. For two decades I cultivated knowledge and skills to help others move through intense emotional pain, life transitions, and spiritual questions with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. I faced seasons that tested everything I thought I knew. Healing from a narcissistic relationship, navigating a challenging postpartum year, grieving the loss of my mother, and embracing unexpected identity changes~ this all became part of my awakening. These experiences- combined with years of dedicated study and personal reflection- have deepened my compassion and understanding of the healing process. My work honors both the unique human spirit and the sacredness woven into everyday life.
Today, as a Master of Divinity and Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, I help people reconnect with their true selves, cultivate emotional healing, and explore a deeper relationship with the Divine. My work is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and meaningful transformation.
The values guiding my life are integrity, compassion, and wholehearted depth. I'd love to learn what values are leading you on your journey today.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Maybe you're exhausted from carrying everything on your own. You want someone to lean on, but trusting people has never felt safe. You tell yourself you should be over what happened by now, but you still feel the impact of the past. You are really hard on yourself, struggle to get close to people, feel on edge even when nothing is wrong, or wonder why the same relationship patterns keep showing up. On the outside, you might look like you're keeping it together, but internally you feel exhausted and alone.
One of the things I love most about being a therapist is helping people finally make sense of and find closure from experiences that have never truly been processed. And to provide the support you’ve always needed but have never truly received. Healing is about helping both your mind and body learn that you don't have to stay in survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to create meaningful, lasting change.
I know you may feel like you can't really rely on anyone and have had to handle everything on your own. Working with me as your therapist, you'll finally have someone in your corner who has your back and will be your biggest advocate. My clients have described me as someone patient and compassionate who will also give direct, helpful feedback that supports their goals; and someone who isn't afraid to bring some well-timed humor into sessions, because healing involves connecting with joy too.
Our work together will be intentional. I come with a personalized plan for each session so you get the most out of your therapy. Everything will be tailored to your unique story, goals, and nervous system. We'll move at your pace while addressing the deeper roots of what's keeping you stuck, so you can build self-trust, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of peace in your daily life. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you during a free 15-minute consultation! To schedule a consultation, you can contact me to coordinate a time or book directly on my website if that's easier.

Andrea Barbour
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, PhD(ABD)
The heart of my clinical focus is on meeting you where you are, creating ways to understand and communicate your human experience in ways that feel authentic to you. I have extensive experience in working with long standing emotional distress, this includes complex trauma and mood disorders as well as dissociative, personality and psychosis related disorders. I integrate my training in neuropsychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and my training as a marriage and family therapist to provide evidence based care.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Evansville is the hub city of southwestern Indiana and the tri-state region (Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky), with a healthcare and manufacturing economy and a significant function as a regional medical referral center that gives the city an unusually large healthcare workforce relative to its size. The community has a predominantly evangelical and Christian cultural character that shapes how mental health is discussed and help-seeking is navigated, and faith-integrated therapy and pastoral counseling are important components of the local care landscape. University of Southern Indiana and University of Evansville both offer counseling programs and campus mental health services, and Deaconess and Ascension St. Vincent operate behavioral health programs. Common therapy concerns include faith and mental health integration, healthcare worker burnout, economic stress, relationship and family issues, and the challenges of mental health access in a mid-size regional city where cultural stigma remains a significant factor.
