Brenda Truax

Brenda wants people to leave with practical steps they can try between meetings. Brenda listens for the parts of a problem that are getting in the way of change.

She draws on methods that focus on communication, thinking patterns, and emotional awareness. That means couples and individuals look at how they talk, how they think about situations, and how feelings guide their actions.

Her practice includes work on relationships, intimacy, parenting concerns, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues that come with life transitions. Additional areas she supports include aging and geriatric challenges, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and concerns around kink and alternative sex culture.

With 24 years of experience in Indiana, Brenda uses tools from the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She keeps therapy relaxed and accepting, and she often mixes practical skill-building with moments of humor.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People start by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.
