Therapy for Adults Who Carry a Lot.

In Indianapolis, Indiana in-person and Across Indiana, Ohio and Florida virtually.

Lately it feels like too much.

You’re holding it all together–at work, at home, in your relationships–but underneath the surface, you’re tired, stretched thin, and unsure what you need anymore.

You’re not alone–and you’re in the right place.

If you’ve been in therapy before and feel like you’ve reached a plateau, or just don’t know where to start, you’re not alone. Traditional talk therapy is a powerful tool, but sometimes the roots of trauma, PTSD, addiction, and grief are stored where words can’t quite reach.

Let’s figure it out together.

Hi, I’m Ethany Michaud, a licensed somatic therapist in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Some of my clients come to me because they don’t know where to start with therapy. Others come to me when traditional talk therapy isn't enough. They’ve reached a plateau in their healing and are looking for a deeper way to process trauma, PTSD, addiction, and grief. As a certified Brainspotting practitioner and somatic therapist, I help clients move beyond just "talking" about their pain. Brainspotting is a neurobiological tool that has been found to help clients process stressors and trauma up to 10x faster than standard methods.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, panic attacks, grief, substance use, and complex life transitions. Because I know that a strong therapeutic rapport and connection is the foundation of change, I focus on creating a space where you feel truly heard and safe—especially if you’ve had negative experiences with therapy in the past or aren't sure where to start.

Support that meets you where you are.

  • Therapy for Trauma, PTSD & Anxiety

    You’re constantly spinning—mentally tracking everything for everyone. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body feels tense, your thoughts are racing, and rest feels impossible. Therapy can help you slow down, quiet the noise, and start feeling like yourself again.

  • Grief Counseling

    Grief is not a problem to be solved or a task to be finished; it is a profound expression of love that has nowhere to go. If you are here, you are likely carrying a weight that feels too heavy for one person to bear. Whether your loss is fresh or a long-standing shadow, please know that there is no 'right' way to navigate this. This space is designed to honor your unique timeline and provide a quiet place to breathe, reflect, and begin to find your footing again

  • Addiction & Substance Use

    Struggling with or concerned about substance use or behaviors that feel out of control? We offer dual diagnosis treatment from a harm reduction approach, meaning we approach your recovery goals without judgment, focusing on practical strategies to reduce risks and improve your quality of life, whether your goal is abstinence or moderation.

High-Functioning Doesn't Have to Mean Highly Exhausted

On the outside, you have it all together. On the inside, your nervous system is screaming for a break. If you feel like you’re constantly "on," even when you’re trying to rest, your body is likely stuck in a stress loop.

At CCA Therapy, we help adults in Indianapolis break the cycle of burnout. We don't just "talk" about your stress; we use Brainspotting and somatic tools to help your body finally let go of the pressure. It’s time to stop just "managing" your life and start actually living it.
