MICHELE O'MARA, LCSW, PHD
(click for more info about me)
Though I have the education of and credentials of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana, my work is best described as coaching. With a Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology, Certification as an Imago Therapist, and the completion of all three training levels with the Gottman Method, I believe in education. What I do not believe in, however, are labels - which is the organizing principle behind what is commonly known as "mental health," and also referred to as counseling, therapy, and psychotherapy.
Coaching is my preferred modality. The focus in coaching is on
how you wish to feel and what you wish to experience, without
emphasis on diagnosis and "treatment." We work together to
identify your feelings, goal and align your life and your choices
so that we are moving in the direction you wish to grow. As your
coach, I will provide relevant resources, information, and
guidance, as well as homework, and other strategies to assist you
in making progress toward your goals.
In addition to individual and couples counseling and coaching, I
also offer relationship-changing couple's weekends for lesbian
couples. (For more

My ultimate goal is to support you as you journey toward living
the life you desire.
