Foundations Counseling Center of Northwest Indiana

Foundations Counseling works with children ages 10 and older. Our child and adolescent therapists offer a safe and compassionate practice for children and their families struggling with mental and behavioral concerns.

We provide a wide range of treatment services to help children and their families cope more effectively with everyday stressors, crises, and a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, ADHD, attachment disorders and loss. We work with children individually or as part of a family unit.

Utilizing a family-centered treatment process, we encourage open dialogue throughout the duration of the therapeutic process, as well as collaboration with other service providers and educators.

Foundations Counseling provides mental health therapy and education for couples and families dealing with distress. The goal of couples and/or family therapy is to restore a sense of well-being, create healthy relationships, and strengthen the family unit.

We help partners and families create better communication, improve emotional clarity, and increase trust and security within their interactions. By offering a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment, our counselors help couples apply goal-oriented efforts toward building a healthy relationship based on respect, support, and trust.

Couples psychotherapy is meant to help partners gain insight into their interactions, in an effort to better understand what may be contributing to continued patterns of conflict and distress in their romantic relationship.

Couples therapy can be helpful in identifying negative communication patterns, differences in values and beliefs, and challenges in your relationship that are affected by different factors such as work issues, a new baby, intimacy, infidelity or emotional concerns such as anxiety, depression, or substance abuse. Additionally, couples therapy can also be useful in identifying healthier ways to end a relationship or marriage.

However, couples therapy is not just for relationships that are in “trouble.” Therapy can be a proactive tool to help couples learn to communicate effectively early in the relationship and prevent major issues in the future. Through couples therapy, couples can address those “small” issues in a constructive manner, learn how to soothe each other, discuss and hear each other’s fears, cultivate a deeper sense of respect and love for each other, and so much more.

While couples therapy can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience— and an opportunity to reconnect with your partner— it is not a “quick fix” and requires continued awareness and work for long-term change.

Whether you label yourself an addict or not, most people who reach out to us are at least struggling with cravings or compulsions to use. Maybe you've experienced disruptions in your work or family life. Maybe you've had problems with your judgment or overall mood. The bottom line is that most of the time when you think you or your loved one might need treatment, you do.

At Foundations Counseling, we aren’t interested in labeling you; we’re here to support you in getting your life back on track. If you feel like drugs and/or alcohol have a grip on your life, now is the time to act. There is no shame in asking for help.
