Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

If you're considering taking the next steps toward your mental health goals, I'm here to answer any questions and determine if we're a good fit.

Hello and welcome! I'm Morgan Konie, a compassionate and approachable therapist who believes in the transformative power of creativity and empathy in therapy. With a LSW I've dedicated my career to supporting adolescents and young adults through their unique journeys. Having gained experience in diverse settings, I am committed to providing effective support and guidance. I understand the complexities young people face today and strive to empower them to navigate life's transitions with resilience and self-awareness. I have a passion for the creative arts, which I integrate into therapeutic techniques to foster healing. My therapeutic approach is grounded in creating a safe and inclusive space where ALL individuals can explore their challenges and discover their strengths. I specialize in working with Depression, Anxiety, ODD, ADHD, PTSD, and body image concerns. Each person's experience is unique, and I tailor interventions to meet your specific needs. I aim to help you harness your innate abilities and achieve personal growth. Taking the first step towards therapy is a brave decision, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

I work best with individuals who struggle with anxiety or low mood, or feel stuck in habits that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, late-diagnosed, or highly self-aware but overwhelmed. They’re seeking real tools, not just talk, and want a therapist who’s authentic, supportive, and goal-oriented. If you’re ready to stop people-pleasing, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels meaningful, I’d love to work with you.

​I'm passionate about helping you to both recognize and build inner resilience. My holistic understanding of wellness is rooted in culturally competent and evidence based approaches to psychotherapy. This foundation is informed not only by my clinical training, but also by an eclectic background in academia, psychological research, social justice movements, a variety of spiritual and religious contexts, mentoring teens, and teaching yoga. I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Christian Theological Seminary and a Clinical Mental Health Counseling license in the state of Indiana. In addition, I hold a BA in both psychology and religious studies from Indiana University, which provides me with a broad understanding of how spirituality, religion, trauma, family systems, and society can affect us both negatively and positively. Learning and growing is a lifelong process that doesn’t end with a degree or certification. I am committed to and energized about my own growth as a clinician and person. This commitment to my own wellness and growth is a cornerstone to my work as a therapist.

I work best with students seeking to understand the deeper sources of their issues. Many students experience anxiety and depression especially when first entering college. This can be very difficult and disruptive personally, socially and academically. Often there are feelings of deep sadness, uncertainty, fear, loneliness, shame and anger. There is a way through this difficult time and I would be very interested to work it through with you.

With 18 years in healthcare, he has worked in a variety of settings including trauma, intensive care, behavioral health, surgical recovery, and deployed medicine with the US Army. He has seen how the challenges and tragedies of life can affect people, and his dedication to help others to recover in a hospital changed to a passion to collaborate with patients to improve the quality of their life.

You have a story to tell. A story about you. It is a story full of hope, joy, confusion, and at times pain. Right now, you may be in that experience of confusion or pain, and feel unsure of how to make good decisions, or any decision at all. I would be honored to hear that story and journey with you as you seek to put new puzzle pieces together to find peace and clarity. All my clients (individual and couple) will come to understand their behavioral responses caused by our internal experiences of pain, what we refer to as our pain cycle. We will then map out new opportunities for personal responsibility and predictability, referred to as our peace cycle, and seek together how to practice and strengthen making decisions within our peace cycle instead of making decisions while coping with our pain cycle.
