The Changing Tides
At Changing Tides Counseling, our mission is to make therapy feel human — warm, genuine, and approachable. We believe healing happens best in a space that feels comfortable, not clinical; connected, not intimidating. Our team provides compassionate, client-focused support that meets people where they are and helps them move toward where they want to be.
By creating a supportive environment for both clients and staff, we nurture growth, connection, and understanding that ripple far beyond our office walls — into homes, relationships, and the wider community.

We have two locations: 8130 S. Meridian St. Suite 4A, Indianapolis, IN 46217 (near Perry Meridian High School); 4016 S. Meridian St. Indianapolis, IN 46217 (Just south of downtown Indy).
How much does therapy cost?
We strive to make therapy both accessible and sustainable.
- Private Pay Rates: Our session fees range from $50 to $145, depending on the clinician’s level of training and licensure.
- Insurance Coverage: We accept Aetna, Anthem, and United Healthcare. Using insurance often reduces the cost of sessions significantly.

Not sure what your out-of-pocket cost would be? We’re happy to help. Call or text us for a free insurance benefits check so you’ll know exactly what therapy will cost before getting started.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept Aetna, Anthem, and United Healthcare. Using insurance often reduces the cost of sessions significantly.
How long will I be in therapy?
The length of therapy looks different for everyone. Some clients come for a few months to work on a specific concern, while others stay longer for ongoing support or personal growth. We’ll create a plan that fits your needs and adjust along the way — and you’re always welcome to return if new concerns come up.
How often do I need to attend therapy?
Most clients find it helpful to start with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. As you begin to feel more stable and confident, we’ll talk together about moving to biweekly or monthly sessions. The goal is to give you the right level of support at the start and then gradually transition as your needs change. We’ll always move at your pace, and there’s no pressure to rush the process.
