Merrillville Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Stephanie Hernandez

I approach therapy with a focus on supporting diverse individuals, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and migrant communities. I’m particularly passionate about advocating for Latinx and BIPOC folks, especially regarding queer issues and the stigma they face. Using a blend of methods like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I create a safe space where clients feel understood and valued. My aim is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and foster meaningful change.

Peter Beer

As a relational therapist, my aim is to support clients in striving for safety, security, and authenticity—whether individually, as a family, or in romantic relationships. I specialize in working with dyads, helping to dissolve distance or conflict while building a foundation of emotional closeness. Growing up as a “third culture kid,” I also have a particular interest in supporting first- or second-generation immigrants as they explore cultural attunement with themselves or their communities.

Karem Muksed

Growing up internationally, I experienced relationships in a way that felt deeply connected to community, culture, and tradition. Moving to America as a young adult brought new challenges and opportunities, pushing me to navigate the complexities of identity, belonging, and connection in a different context. These transitions shaped my deep curiosity about relationships and the ways we heal from pain and grow through change. As a therapist, I bring these personal insights into my work with teens

As your therapist, I build on our overlapping or shared experiences as much as I welcome people in all walks of life. I facilitate a space for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, neurodivergent, and consensually non-monogamous folks exploring their identities, emotion management, difficulties in interpersonal dynamics, and being an agent of change. I am excited to work with people of all genders, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Andrew Bingman

Many of my clients struggle to be vulnerable in relationships, due to the belief that they will experience rejection if they allow others to see their true selves. My promise is to see, hear, and understand each part of you, especially the parts that you are afraid to show others. In particular, I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients, especially gay men struggling to overcome internalized homophobia. I also work well with individuals wanting to process early childhood experiences.

Amy Bicknell

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are suffering and struggling to show up. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

Becoming a parent can be a landmine. What is often billed as simple, linear, and seamless can be filled with complicated emotions, experiences, and a sense of overwhelm. I work with people on all points of the birthing path- whether you are just thinking about having a child, trying to conceive, are pregnant or postpartum . This includes people struggling with infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and birth trauma, as well as partners and birth workers.
