Mental Health Counseling
Counseling with Zach Crooks, LMHC
You’ll work directly with me, Zach Crooks, a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana. I offer individual counseling for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and recurring relationship patterns.
My approach
My training includes a master’s degree in counseling, certification as a Gestalt therapist, and psychodynamic training. I consider your thoughts, emotions, body awareness, relationships, and sense of meaning. I offer direct, supportive feedback and gentle challenge as we explore what is keeping you stuck.
What sessions involve
In our first appointment, I’ll ask about your concerns, history, goals, and what you need from counseling. Together, we’ll decide on a focus and revisit it as your needs change.
Sessions may include conversation, mindfulness, journaling, guided imagery, or experiential exercises. I explain an approach before using it, and you can ask questions or decline an exercise. Spiritual and energy practices are optional; counseling does not require them.
Your role in the work
You set the pace for what you share. Honest feedback helps me adjust our work, and we may agree on small practices to try between sessions. We’ll review what is helping and what needs to change.
I see clients in North Indianapolis and offer online counseling throughout Indiana. Request a free 15-minute phone consultation to ask about fit, services, and fees.
