    We are Mike and Kim O'Connell! We are both marriage and family therapists in the Indianapolis area and we would love to have the opportunity to journey with you as you encounter important moments in your life.

    Our mission is striving to help people heal their wounds, learn about themselves, build confidence, and apply what they learn from therapy to their life.

    Individual Counseling

     

    Feeling stressed, alone, anxious, maybe even depressed? Going through a transition in life? It’s important to have someone you can trust in the ups and downs of life.

    Individual sessions are typically 45-60 min weekly and offer an opportunity to explore your story and how you cope with life’s challenges.

    We are happy to coordinate with your doctor’s office to help manage medication.

    I want to walk alongside you, your partner, or family as you experience and adjust to transitions in your life. I hope to help you feel more balanced in your identity as together we build a solid foundation of love, care, and kindness for yourself that can help positively impact the relationships that are most important to you.

     

    I use a systemic experiential model to help you recognize family patterns in order to connect with yourself or your partner, to help you feel grounded when anxious, and to create trustworthiness with yourself and others. We will work together to create an important foundation to engage in the work of relational wellness through better communication, increased intimacy, and connectivity with the people who are most important to you.

    I have a passion to journey with individuals and couples as they seek to restore love and trust in their life and relationships.

     

    I specialize in working with couples struggling with communication, intimacy, life transitions, and conflict (including infidelity, addiction, abuse, and trauma).

    I also work with men who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, paternity, and relationship struggles.

     

    All clients (individual and couple) will come to understand their behavioral responses caused by our internal experiences of pain, what we refer to as the pain cycle. We will then map out and organize new opportunities for personal responsibility and predictability, referred to as our peace cycle. We will seek together how to practice and strengthen making decisions within our peace cycle instead of making decisions while coping with our pain cycle.

    Maybe you’re an an individual struggling with managing your feelings or behaviors- unable to tap into that ideal version of yourself. You might be a couple facing communication problems (daily blow-ups, loss of intimacy, or old unresolved conflict). Perhaps you're experiencing disconnection with your kids, feeling frustrated and hopeless. Or maybe you’re a man in the modern world- struggling to communicate, be a partner/father, or just trying to understand who and how to be. These are the areas I specialize and have repeated success in. Regardless of the situation, I will always be my authentic self with you through the process. 

     

    My philosophy for working with clients is to identify current pains then trace and explore their origins. We’ll identify how they show up in daily life, and how we may be negatively expressing them to others (partner, children, etc.). Over time, with mindfulness and practice, we’ll build some new neuropathways to help create peace.
