Are you struggling to be your full self in relationship with others? I support clients with relational difficulties, especially related to self-worth, people pleasing, or perfectionism. I also work with couples in the areas of communication, emotional intimacy, boundary clarification, and divorce discernment. I have personal and professional experience with autism and ADHD. I have worked with many late-identified neurodivergent clients to address depression, anxiety or relationship concerns through self-acceptance. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, rather than behavioral-based. I strive to be an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC ally.

South Bend, IN

I have been in private practice since 1995, providing mental health counseling to undergrad and graduate students who may have difficulties living away from home, strenuous academic schedules, trouble making friends and fitting in, as well as stress related to dissertation and associated exams. When the relatively brief nature of on-campus counseling isn’t enough, students appreciate the easy access and privacy of online counseling through the Google Meet app.

Hi! Like many therapists, I'm a 30-something cis, white woman who likes earth tones and metaphors. I especially enjoy working with individuals with mood disorders, complex trauma, chronic illness, and psychosis, as well as those who identify as artists/creatives and recovering perfectionists. I draw from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Health at Every Size (HAES), Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. However, my most impactful training has happened in conversation with clients themselves. I recognize how my identities contribute to a power differential with my clients, especially when working with marginalized populations. I work to interrupt this power differential whenever possible by being antiracist in my work and prioritizing humility and transparency. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is key to any kind of growth and change, and therefore first honor creating an authentic relationship with the clients I work with.

How you feel about yourself, relate with others, and make your way in the world is significantly influenced by your earliest relationships. If your caregivers struggled with their own psychological health, their ability to connect with and be emotionally available to you may have been impaired. You may have felt invalidated, rejected, smothered or unwanted. Since you had no choice but to adapt and attach to the adults available to you, you may now find yourself in relationships that feel empty, end abruptly, or are riddled with conflict. Such disharmony only exacerbates feeling depressed and anxious. As a psychodynamic therapist, I am trained to recognize the underlying thoughts, feelings, and patterns that keep you from sustaining meaningful relationships and stuck in emotional pain. Rather than viewing you as a diagnosis or problem to be solved, I'm most interested in understanding and helping you work through what is troubling you. I completed training at The Object Relations Institute of New York City, The Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, and I am an Assistant Professor at Indiana University South Bend . I am also a classically trained musician and former high school choral director. Please visit my website at www.kurtmhanus.com

We all experience challenging and sometimes overwhelming periods in life. While turning to friends, family, or faith is often helpful in navigating life's paths, we can also benefit from a trained ear that will listen from the outside. Therapy is a safe place for exploration; a journey towards more fulfilling relationships, a greater sense of emotional, mental and spiritual well-being as well as increased self-esteem. Our work together will provide you with the support, guidance and the tools that you will need to reach your goals.

Hi and welcome to my page! If you are reading this, you may be on the fence about seeking help or confused about what to look for in a therapist, so here are some things you may find helpful to know about me. I am passionate about helping college students and young adults navigate the challenges of this period of life. I work best with those who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, self-worth, imposter syndrome, body image, identity, sexual and spiritual identities, trauma/PTSD, codependency and relationship challenges. Basically, I'd love to walk beside you as you figure out who you are, want you want in life, how to be in healthy relationships and find meaningful work, how to balance academics with self-care and all kinds of things! I am passionate about your age group because meaningful, positive changes is so achievable and within reach for you, and I really could have used some guidance that was missing from my life when I was in college. My favorite therapeutic approaches include EMDR, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and holistic approaches that help us unify mind, body and spirit.

You've been wondering about therapy, but find reasons that keep getting in the way of reaching out. Sometimes it feels hopeless, or wonder if YOU might be hopeless. You might ask what's the point? Nothing is working. You've tried to talk to people in your life, but you don't want to burden them and fear they wouldn't understand; or worse- they could judge you. You try to make up for it but always seem to fall short, a constant feeling of disappointment. Nothing's enough and you wonder, "Am I enough?" You're curious; therapy could help. You don't want to keep repeating the same patterns; or feel stuck anymore. So here you are, taking a huge risk and thinking about talking to a total stranger. It's hard to imagine life getting better, but deep down you long for it. You CRAVE balance. You want the critical voice to stop, you want to feel happy, connected, worthy & enough. You want to quit the comparisons, bad habits, the shame & feeling responsible for everything. I'm here to help you figure out what "happiness" means for you and how to get unstuck. Together, we can achieve what you want. I utilize an eclectic, warm, compassionate and genuine approach. I am trained in EMDR, specialize in trauma and addiction. I look forward to meeting you and working collaboratively together.

Mount Healthy, OH

People who are living with depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic health conditions face a unique and often overwhelming loop of emotional and physical challenges. Sometimes people feel defeated, burnt out, and stuck in patterns that hinder personal growth. Breaking free from these patterns requires a comprehensive approach, addressing that feedback loop between emotional wellness and physical health conditions. Learning skills to make safe and healthy changes empowers people decenter the diagnosis and live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

It takes a lot of strength and bravery to reach out for help. My approach is relationship-centered, as I believe healing and change take place when we feel connected to others. I truly admire the courage clients have in sharing their story and being vulnerable with me. Using a holistic and strengths-based approach, my hope is that clients feel connected, heard, valued, and worthy. It's an honor for me to witness a client's authentic voice, to see their dedication to making changes, and to witness them thrive. I'd love to support you. Coming alongside clients in collaboration, I believe a flexible approach that best fits the individual's needs is most effective. I have extensive experience in helping those with trauma find healing. I also work with young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, those coping with a life transition, or who are coping with grief and loss. I'd love to meet you and offer support.

At Relational Wellness Therapy, we love working with students who are trying to make sense of life’s in-between seasons. Maybe you’re juggling classes, relationships, and figuring out who you’re becoming, and it’s starting to feel like a lot. You don’t have to have it all together to show up here. Our student clients often share a common goal: they want to feel grounded, more confident in their choices, and at peace with who they are. We help you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the stress, and find tools that actually fit your life. Therapy with us isn’t about perfection. It’s about helping you feel seen, supported, and more like yourself.
