Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Parenting often brings up your own history, triggers, and fears about “getting it wrong.” I help parents understand their child’s behavior through a nervous‑system and attachment lens, respond with more regulation and consistency, and parent in ways that align with your values rather than just repeating old patterns.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
With over 25 years of experience working with families and children ages 0–18, I provide parenting consultation, diagnostic feedback, and support for behavioral and emotional concerns. I integrate family systems, attachment, behavioral strategies, IFS, and mindfulness to help parents strengthen relationships and create stability. I also collaborate with prescribers on medication management when appropriate. My diagnostic expertise ensures clarity in identifying developmental, emotional, or relational needs and tailoring recommendations that fit the family system. In addition, I offer a clinical evaluation and consultation to address any diagnostic concerns parents may have and make treatment recommendations based on this assessment.

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.
