Looking For A Therapist Near Carmel, Indiana?

If you live or work in Carmel and you've been looking for a therapist who offers more than coping skills, you're in the right place.

Circle City Alliance Therapy and Consulting is located just minutes from Carmel at 3901 W. 86th Street, Suite 350 in Northwest Indianapolis. For Carmel residents, the commute is simple: head south on Meridian Street or US-31 and you're here in under 15 minutes from most parts of Carmel.

Carmel is a community built around high achievement, high productivity, and high standards. It's also a community where a lot of people are quietly exhausted — carrying anxiety, stress, grief, or trauma underneath a life that looks fine from the outside. That gap between how things look and how things feel is exactly what we work with.

Not able to make the drive? We also offer telehealth sessions throughout Indiana, Ohio, and Florida, so you can meet with us from your home in Carmel without ever leaving.

Therapy Services Available to Carmel Residents

At CCA Therapy, we work with adults from Carmel and the surrounding area who are ready to understand what's actually driving their symptoms, not just manage them.

We specialize in:

Trauma and PTSD Therapy — for adults still carrying past experiences in their body, their relationships, and their nervous system

Brainspotting Therapy — a neurobiological approach that reaches deeper than talk therapy, where trauma and stress are physically stored in the brain

Anxiety Therapy — especially for high-achievers whose anxiety is invisible from the outside but relentless on the inside

Depression Therapy — including treatment-resistant depression, postpartum depression, and depression connected to trauma or grief

Grief Counseling — for every kind of loss, including the ones that don't always get recognized

Addiction Counseling — harm reduction-based, judgment-free support for the full spectrum of substance and behavioral patterns

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy — for clients who have tried other treatments and are ready for something different

What to Expect When You Come to CCA Therapy

The office was designed to feel like the opposite of a clinical setting. Comfortable chairs, warm lighting, plants, and a coffee and tea bar waiting for you when you arrive. The kind of space where you can actually exhale.

Ethany Michaud, LCSW is your therapist. She is a certified Brainspotting practitioner with over 10 years of clinical experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and complex nervous system patterns. She does her own therapy work. She believes in this work because she has lived it herself.

Kix, our certified therapy dog and resident Goldendoodle, is available to join sessions if you'd like a little extra warmth in the room. No pressure either way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy Near Carmel

Everything you want to know before reaching out.

The first session is an intake: a chance for us to get to know each other before any deeper work begins. I'll ask some background questions about what brought you in, what's been going on, and a bit of your history. You set the pace. You don't have to tell me everything in the first session, and you don't have to go to the hard stuff right away. By the end, we'll have a sense of whether we're a good fit and what working together might look like. There's no paperwork to fill out in session. Everything comes through SimplePractice beforehand so we can spend our time on you.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation: just a conversation to see if CCA Therapy feels like the right fit. You can book directly through our contact page, or call or text us at (317) 360-5864. If you'd rather send an email first, reach out at admin@ccatherapy.com. Once we've connected and agreed to move forward, I'll send you intake paperwork through SimplePractice and we'll schedule your first full session.
CCA Therapy is a private pay practice, meaning we don't bill insurance directly. Individual therapy sessions are $150. Because we are an out-of-network provider, we can provide a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement depending on your plan. We also provide a Good Faith Estimate before beginning treatment. For full fee information, visit our Billing page.
We do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients with PPO plans are able to receive partial reimbursement by submitting a superbill to their insurance provider. We recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card and asking about your out-of-network mental health benefits before scheduling. We're happy to answer any questions you have about this process.
Both. In-person sessions are available at our office at 3901 W. 86th Street, Suite 350 in Northwest Indianapolis, just 10 to 15 minutes from most parts of Carmel. Telehealth sessions are available for clients throughout Indiana, Ohio, and Florida via a secure video platform. Some clients prefer in-person for the co-regulation and warmth of being in the room. Others prefer the comfort and convenience of virtual. We can talk through what makes most sense for you.
We ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a cancellation fee. Life happens and we try to be reasonable, but consistent notice helps us keep the practice running well for everyone. Full details are in our practice policies, which you'll receive before your first appointment.
Warm, direct, and genuinely present. Clients consistently say they feel safe and seen often from the very first session. The office is designed to feel comfortable and unhurried rather than clinical. There's a coffee and tea bar, warm lighting, and a relaxed environment where you can exhale. Ethany has a sense of humor that shows up naturally in sessions. Healing doesn't have to be serious all the time. And if you'd like some extra comfort, Kix our certified therapy dog is available to join.
Yes, fully and without reservation. CCA Therapy is a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients. All identities, orientations, and expressions are respected here. You will not be asked to justify who you are, and you will not encounter judgment from the intake process through every session after.
There's no universal answer. It depends on what you're working through and what your goals are. Some clients come in for a specific issue and feel significant relief in a relatively short period. Others work through more complex, layered experiences over several months. What I can tell you is that Brainspotting and somatic approaches tend to move faster than traditional talk therapy alone. We'll talk about pacing and what feels right for you as we go. There's no pressure to stay longer than is useful, and no pressure to rush.
We're located at 3901 W. 86th Street, Suite 350 in Northwest Indianapolis, just 10 to 15 minutes from most parts of Carmel via Meridian Street or US-31 heading south. Free parking is available directly in front of the building. The building has an accessible entrance and elevator access to Suite 350.
