Adam Craig (he/him) is originally from Aurora, Illinois and moved to Indianapolis in 2013 after graduating with a Master’s degree in Clinical-Counseling Psychology from Illinois State University. He has spent the last 9 years working in a local community mental health center as a therapist; five of these as a clinical supervisor. He has specialized in work with adults with psychosis and personality disorders, but has worked with a wide range of individuals across the lifespan experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, gender dysphoria, marital/relationship problems, grief and loss, substance use, and process addictions.

Adam’s primary concern in therapy is developing an honest relationship driven by a mutual desire to understand his clients’ lived experience. Therapy at its best is a process of shared meaning making that recognizes the need for unique problem formulations and paths to recovery.

His approach to clinical work integrates aspects of Interpersonal Process-Oriented Therapies, Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT), Schema Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. He is also practiced in offering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, and Motivational Interviewing.

It is Michelle’s desire to create a safe space for clients to come and share their life’s story, bringing their full selves, in order to grow more into their own personal sense of wellness. Experiencing being fully known and heard is in itself a path to healing. Michelle walks with the client as they become aware of ways that their thoughts and beliefs about past experiences, behaviors, and relationships are affecting their present. She draws from many different therapies including cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, schema, mindfulness, family systems, and rational emotive behavioral therapy.
