TO OUR FAMILIES:
As a reminder, therapy appointments are generally an excused absence and do not count towards the 10 missed/unexcused days (unless your school counts medical appts as unexcused which most don’t). We provide a school note for any missed school due to sessions and therefore these don’t count towards your 10 unexcused absences.

There has been some confusion and this clarification is from the Indiana DOE from 7/25/25. There is no penalty for excused absences. Please see the full law for DOE guidance on what are excused absences (medical appts are one).

Carelon is taking over Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield in Indiana and proposing cutting our reimbursement rates in half.

Changes to Anthem's behavioral health reimbursement could leave Hoosiers scrambling for access to mental health providers.

Welcome to the team, Annie Ballen, MD!

I I offer individual psychotherapy for adults from an integrative, trauma-informed perspective, grounded in a psychodynamic framework. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and present. I work with clients to gently explore patterns and early experiences that may be shaping how they relate to themselves and others today.

Together, we often deepen emotional and somatic awareness—recognizing how emotions live in the body—as a pathway to insight, regulation, and a stronger connection to self.

I am especially passionate about working with women navigating the impacts of trauma, life transitions, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and questions of identity. My goal is to foster a space where you feel deeply seen and supported as you reconnect with your authentic self.

Specialties include:
• Self-esteem and self-worth
• Identity development
• Stress and anxiety
• Life transitions
• Relationship issues
• Trauma and complex PTSD (CPTSD)
• Attachment and relational trauma
• Emotional regulation & identification
• Over-functioning and burnout
• Perfectionism

Spotlight: MEET KEELY BOURASSA, RDN, LDN

“I'm Keely, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!

I'm excited to share that l've recently taken the leap into full-time private practice as a trauma-informed registered dietitian nutritionist, licensed in Indiana. I see clients primarily in Indiana & Michigan.

My clinical focus includes working with adults via telehealth, and I specialize in eating and feeding behaviors, food relationships, body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EFT, IFS parts work, motivational interviewing (MI), and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) to support my clients with care and compassion.

Insurance: In Indiana I accept Anthem BCBS and UHC insurance plans and self pay. I am open to new referrals, clients, and networking opportunities. Looking forward to connecting soon!
