Zachariah Crooks @ Inner Harmony
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ACHT, CGT, HFRM
My approach to therapy is deeply holistic, heart-centered, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I create a safe, compassionate space where healing happens through deep emotional work, mindfulness, and transformative hypnotherapy. Clients often share that they feel truly seen, heard, and supported in our work together. If you're ready to release old patterns, heal inner wounds, and step into a more empowered, authentic version of yourself, I would be honored to walk beside you on your journey.

Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Choosing to step into therapy is a profound act of courage. If you are arriving here feeling fractured, exhausted by systemic pressures, or disconnected from your own sense of peace, I want to welcome you just as you are. I believe that therapy is an equal, sacred partnership built on radical warmth, deep safety, and authentic human connection. You are the ultimate expert on your own life history; my role is to walk beside you as a grounded, down-to-earth ally, providing the space and the tools you need to find your footing and heal.
My worldview as a counselor is shaped by a deep understanding of the delicate bridge between mind and body. True emotional wellness cannot exist in isolation. You are a whole person whose nervous system, thoughts, and daily stress levels are intimately tied to your unique biology, your past experiences, and the heavy social and economic realities you navigate every day. Because of this, I look at your story through a highly integrative lens. I don't believe in rigid, cold clinical boxes or passive, distant head-nodding. Instead, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending a gentle clinical perspective with an open heart and an interactive, highly collaborative style.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. Because everyone processes life and pain differently, I love using creative, visual, and somatic frameworks to help bring what is happening internally into the light, transforming overwhelming or abstract emotions into tangible, manageable steps. Together, we will gently explore the root causes of what is keeping you stuck, soothe your nervous system from old trauma or chronic burnout, and unpack the real-world burdens that demanding environments place on your mind. There is no judgment here—only a dedicated, compassionate space where you can quiet the noise of the world, honor your lived experience, and reclaim your personal agency to build a life of lasting peace and clarity.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 20+yrs of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and 50+ years lived experience with an intersectional identity as a first-generation college student and adoptive parent in a multi-ethnic family. I help adult clients get out of their heads & skillfully back into their lives, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

Amanda Cummings Brandenburg
Psychologist, PhD
I am a counseling psychologist with a high level of personal responsibility and a strong drive to provide high-quality counseling services. I strive to individualize my services to each client’s needs and do not follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I believe therapy is an art AND a science and pay special attention to the needs and preferences of each client. I keep a small caseload to help prevent burnout and to allow myself to better focus on the individuals I serve.
I identify as a first-generation college student, a cycle-breaker, and a mother to a child with a disability called Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). I know what it is like to persevere and overcome hardships in everyday life. I also strongly value bringing humanness and humility to my counseling practice, allowing for authentic connection.

Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP
I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, with over 20 years of professional experience in psychological research and clinical practice. I specialize in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individual adults ages 18+. I can help you understand the underlying basis of your conflicts, then guide you on your journey toward meaningful, positive change according to your needs and goals. I will work with you to develop a customized psychotherapy plan depending on your specific needs and goals, which may include session packages that are intentionally short-term (12-16 sessions) or long-term (1-2 sessions per week spanning some months). I am a military veteran, and have received specialized training related to military and veteran's issues, so I also welcome persons from the military and veteran communities as prospective patients. I hold professional certifications in Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) through Evergreen Certifications, and an Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission.

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.
