By secure video we see Indiana children, adults, couples, and families, from the large public universities to the small residential colleges.
Currently accepting new clients
Request an Indiana appointmentIndiana sets very large public universities beside a dense network of small residential colleges, and both communities turn up in our caseload. In a single week we might see a student at Indiana University Bloomington, a parent in Indianapolis, a couple in Fort Wayne, and a faculty member in Greencastle who wants a clinician with no connection to the college. We provide client-centered care to individuals and families navigating life's transitions.
Virtual visits hold a weekly hour together when a campus calendar turns over, when a plant changes its shift patterns, or when a job takes a household from Evansville to South Bend. What continuity depends on is your being in Indiana, or in another participating jurisdiction, at the moment the session opens. Tell us before you travel and nobody is left guessing on the morning of an appointment.
The areas below are the ones Indiana clients ask about most often, and each is approached through a treatment plan written for the particular person.
A younger client is met where they actually are, developmentally speaking, with a parent involved in consent and in the goals. Conversation, play, or drawing carry the hour, depending on the age of the person in front of us.
By the time most people telephone, the avoidance has done more damage than the worry itself. Graded practice addresses both, beginning with situations small enough to finish and building from there.
Harsh self-appraisal and distress about appearance are examined as patterns with a history, rather than argued with as though they were simply mistakes. The pace stays tolerable, because work of this kind cannot be hurried.
Difficulty with eating, weight, and control is met carefully and without any promise attached to the outcome. Where there are medical needs, the work is coordinated with the client's own physicians rather than conducted around them.
Two partners attend together by video. The hour goes to the argument that keeps repeating itself, and specifically to what each of them is asking the other for and cannot seem to say plainly.
Evaluations answer questions about diagnosis, about learning, and about fitness where somebody has asked for more than an impression. How much of a given assessment suits a remote format is determined with Dr. Lusk.
Our practice is unhurried by design. The initial meetings serve to map your history, understand your household, and clarify your objectives. Indiana clients often balance their lives against a demanding school calendar or a rotating shift rota, whether they are campus faculty, industrial professionals, or busy parents. We would rather adjust an hour than lose continuity when your schedule turns over. While our central framework is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), cultural awareness actively shapes our listening from the beginning rather than arriving later as an afterthought. Because we focus on developing durable coping skills, we do not offer a quick fix. We review your personalized plan openly as we go, ensuring our weekly meetings remain relevant and effective for your specific circumstances.
Indiana clients work with Della S. Lusk, Ph.D., our Clinical Director, who sees young people and adults at any stage of life and who works with couples and with whole households.
Clinical Director · Bilingual Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Lusk holds the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT™) granted by the PSYPACT® Commission, which authorizes her to provide telepsychology to clients located in Indiana.
Dr. Lusk is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Psychologist and has been in practice for over twenty-five years. Her undergraduate work was done at Smith College and her doctoral training at the California School of Professional Psychology–San Diego, which holds APA accreditation. Indiana clients see her for individual, couples, family, and group therapy as well as for psychological evaluations, in English or in Spanish.
Request an appointmentFull biographies, training, and areas of expertise are listed on our providers page. You can also read Dr. Lusk’s licensure and credentials in full. You are welcome to ask any clinician directly about their qualifications and experience.
Indiana is a participating state in PSYPACT®. Dr. Lusk holds the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT™), granted by the PSYPACT® Commission, and that is the authority under which she works with people located in Indiana. It belongs to her rather than to any address of yours, and the Commission publishes which jurisdictions currently take part, so the position can be checked independently at any time.
What a session turns on is where you are, not where you keep a mailbox. A break spent at a family home in another state, or a relocation for work, changes the question and needs raising before the next appointment rather than after it. We will either confirm that the work can carry on or help you find someone appropriate where you are going, with your records forwarded on your written authorization.
Participating jurisdictions are published by the compact commissions and can change. You can review current psychology participation at psypact.gov, find the relevant psychology licensing board through the PSYPACT® board directory, or check counseling privileges at CompactConnect. If you are not sure which applies to you, call (844) 774-7997 and we will confirm before you schedule.
Our Indiana clients study and teach at Indiana University Bloomington, Purdue University, the University of Notre Dame, Butler University, DePauw University, Wabash College, Earlham College, Hanover College, and the other public and private institutions listed below. On a small residential campus, where everyone's business travels quickly, outside care is often what makes the difference.
Indiana clients join from Indianapolis, Bloomington, West Lafayette, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Evansville, and Greencastle, along with a good many smaller communities. Where somebody happens to live has no bearing on whether we can work together each week.
Every age this practice treats: children, teenagers, adults, and people in later life, plus couples and families. What people bring includes anxiety, low mood, difficulty with eating and body image, strain in a relationship, and questions about attention or learning. If this is not the right practice for the problem, we would rather establish that at the outset than three months in.
Regularly. Students at the large universities and at the small private colleges alike keep a weekly hour by video, and a fair number do so because they would rather their care were not visible to anyone on campus. If a break takes you out of state, let us know, since the authorization depends on where you are.
Many do, and more readily than their parents expect. For anyone under eighteen a parent or guardian joins the intake, and we settle in advance what will go back to the family and what does not. Some adolescents find their own room easier than an office; for others it is the opposite, and we check on that again once the work is under way.
Authorization is decided by your location at the time of the appointment, so tell us before you go rather than afterward. For a short trip we check whether the destination is covered and either keep the hour or move it. For a move, the same conversation happens earlier, and it ends either in continuing as before or in a referral we can help you make.
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Ring (844) 774-7997 or write to info@psychotherapy.com and staff will answer any out-of-network questions before a first appointment rather than after. Keeping the subject with the office means your clinician's hour stays where it belongs, on the reason you called.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, and we gladly accept HSA, FSA, and HRA cards so you can use pre-tax dollars toward your care. Our practice generally operates out-of-network. This allows us to protect your privacy, keep care highly personalized, and avoid insurance-mandated session limits.
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Please check with your insurance company regarding your out-of-network benefits. As a courtesy, we will submit claims on your behalf upon request, and any reimbursement will be sent directly to the insured. Call (844) 774-7997 or email info@psychotherapy.com if you have questions.
Our services are by appointment only, during normal business hours. Evening, weekend, and early morning appointments are sometimes available for established clients.
Ring (844) 774-7997 or write to info@psychotherapy.com. The office will hear what has brought you to call, make sure Indiana is where you will be at the appointed hours, send the fee agreement, and place a first appointment with Dr. Lusk on the calendar.
