Owner - Therapist: Vanessa McCaskey, MA, LMFT
About Me: I'm so happy to introduce myself to you! I grew up on the westside of Indianapolis with 1 younger sister and primarily in a single-parent, then later, blended family home. After graduating high school I attended Franklin College in Franklin, IN. My original goal was to become a Spanish teacher. I obtained a BA in Spanish with a minor in Religious Studies. However, when I conducted my internship with the Marion Co Juvenile Probation Center, I saw first hand that many of the youth who were on probation got to where they were as a product of their environment or lack of knowledge in regards to a healthy way of life. This work led me to seek becoming a therapist. I applied to Christian Theological Seminary where I got accepted into their marriage and family therapy program. I began my master's degree program following graduation from Franklin College in 2012. In August 2015, I graduated from Christian Theological Seminary with a MA in Marriage and Family therapy. My experience includes, but is not limited to: working with families, individuals, and couples in a private practice setting, working as a mental health therapist connected to a Suboxone Clinic for 4-5 years (where I became well-versed with addiction), school-based therapist, trauma based therapist at Eskenazi Health working with victims of violence, and 6 years contracted as a home-based therapist with the Department of Child Services where I had in-depth experience working with bio-parents/family, foster or adoptive parents/family, and youth in foster care ranging from 3years old to 18years old. I currently specialize in foster/adoption, kids/adolescents/teens/young adults experiencing trauma, behavioral issues, anxiety/depression, life transitions, divorce situations, and blending families. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 kids. My hobbies and fun days include making cupcakes/cakes, teaching dance and being a dance mom for my daughter, basketball for my son, being on the PTO board at my kid's school, watching documentaries, singing/music, being a part of my amazing church, working out, family trips, date nights with my husband, lunches with friends, and embracing all of life's moments as they come. I am trained in using a systems and collaborative approach. I strive to always meet the client where they are at and work from there. I truly believe that each of us are impacted by out environment, atmosphere, and people around us. ALL of our stories are difference and unique and there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to therapy.
