Hello! My name is Sarah Hummel and I am a mental health counselor licensed in Indiana. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, and I especially enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety and traumatic events.

 

I enjoy using EMDR therapy to help individuals process through trauma. I enjoy helping individuals process through their experiences with anxiety, depression, along with varying issues and life changes they may experience. It is important to me to approach each person as an individual and understand the nuances of their problems. I believe that building a relationship based on trust and understanding is essential to the therapeutic process.

 

My style of counseling focuses on listening and understanding. I also enjoy using CBT to help clients work through their issues and always come from a place of encouragement and compassion.

 

For those who desire, I also enjoy utilizing faith- based therapy as a route to help individuals find healing.

 

I feel called to work as a counselor because I believe that each person is inherently valuable, and it is my goal to help each individual see the value that they have as a person.

 

Get to know me:

-I love pop music and will usually sing along to the radio in the car

-I have a hobby where I make hand soap from scratch

-I love spending time in the mountains and try to go to the Rocky Mountains every few years

-My guilty pleasure is watching tv and am always looking for new suggestions

 

Education and Career Background:

I received my Bachelor's degree from Ball State University in Psychology. I then spent time working at a domestic violence shelter and crisis hotline. This experience inspired me to attend Ball state University once again where I earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. After graduating I began work as a supervisor for a mental health counseling agency specializing in development disabilities.

 

I relish working with a diverse group of individuals including those struggling with anxiety and trauma. I have worked with hundreds of clients during my time as a therapist and have experience with a wide variety of conditions and demographics.
