Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
As a queer individual and ally, I often use my experiences within today's culture to provide insight and create connection with my clients. This identity also informs me of how to help navigate challenges faced due to ongoing societal narratives. Things can get especially tough in this community when there aren't people who understand your perspective. I want to provide a space where my LGBT+ clients feel comfortable to be themselves and express their struggles.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with LGBTQ clients for over a decade and consider myself an Ally. I am in tune to the unique challenges, bias and issues faced by this population. All to frequently LGBTQ clients all have been subject to trauma, disconnection from family, work or social discrimination based on their gender and sexual identity. Whether dealing with individual, partner or family issues I am an experienced resource.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
For LGBTQ+ clients, therapy with me is an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, family, faith, and safety without having to educate your therapist. We can address trauma, internalized stigma, coming‑out or “not coming‑out,” and build relationships and lives that feel congruent with who you really are.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
My near 20 years of experience has helped me develop an approach to therapy that involves providing a supportive and affirming environment where you can explore their identity and experiences while feeling accepted and affirmed. It is important to acknowledging and validating the unique challenges faced by LGBT+ individuals, such as discrimination, internalized homophobia, and coming out. Therapy can help address issues you may have related to self-acceptance, relationship dynamics, and coping with societal pressures. By fostering a safe space, my hope is to empower you to develop resilience, enhance self-esteem, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Indianapolis has a significant mental health burden tied to its opioid epidemic and poverty rates, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and trauma are consistently in demand. The city has a large faith community and many therapists integrate spiritual approaches into their work with clients navigating grief, marriage issues, and major life transitions. Indiana University Health and Eskenazi Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with private practices serving the Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Fishers communities. The city's mid-size scale means many Indianapolis therapists carry lower caseloads and offer more accessible waitlists than their counterparts in larger metros.
