Before creating Thrive Counseling Services, she served as an outpatient therapist and clinical supervisor at a group private practice in Carmel, Indiana for almost 10 years where she provided individual and family therapy and crisis intervention services. Amanda has worked with a diverse range of individuals in terms of socioeconomic status, age, ethnicity, gender, and presenting concerns. She has a solid understanding of the challenges faced by adolescents and adults and is passionate about assisting individuals in improving their mental health, enhancing their life experiences, and empowering them to be a part of their own growth. She is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and accepting therapeutic environment and prioritizes the development of a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship to allow each individual to gain insight and develop skills to assist them in addressing their presenting concerns. ***All therapy services are currently being provided virtually via a secure online platform (Telemental Health)*** For individuals who have difficulties finding time in their busy schedule, the convenience and flexibility of online therapy makes this a great option. Because you are able to have sessions in a private area of your choosing and will not need to commute to and from sessions, you can be more efficient with your time. Whether you decide to sit at a park, in your bedroom, or in a private space on campus such as a library study room, it's up to you. Wherever you choose to be during your sessions, know that you will receive the same professional support and assistance through online therapy as you would for in-person services.

You have a story to tell. A story about you. It is a story full of hope, joy, confusion, and at times pain. Right now, you may be in that experience of confusion or pain, and feel unsure of how to make good decisions, or any decision at all. I would be honored to hear that story and journey with you as you seek to put new puzzle pieces together to find peace and clarity. All my clients (individual and couple) will come to understand their behavioral responses caused by our internal experiences of pain, what we refer to as our pain cycle. We will then map out new opportunities for personal responsibility and predictability, referred to as our peace cycle, and seek together how to practice and strengthen making decisions within our peace cycle instead of making decisions while coping with our pain cycle.

Women come to me looking for someone who gets it. Are you tired of trying to be perfect but never feeling good enough, constantly seeking approval, or caring too much about what others think? Are you controlling from a place of fear? Is fear itself keeping you from becoming the best version of yourself? I’m here to help you break free from these struggles and step into the life you were created for. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping women uncover what’s holding them back. Through compassionate therapy rooted in proven techniques like CBT, we’ll identify the beliefs and past experiences keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll replace fear and doubt with confidence and clarity, empowering you to move forward boldly. In our first sessions, we’ll explore your story, identifying how past experiences and fears have shaped your current mindset. At your pace, we’ll challenge those patterns and uncover the purpose and identity God designed for you. What makes my practice unique is the flexibility to meet your needs, along with optional membership resources at thehealingculture.org for ongoing support. I’m passionate about this work because I’ve faced similar struggles and know the freedom and transformation that are possible. You don’t have to navigate this alone—let’s take the first step together!

College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or uncertain. I work best with students who are navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood challenges, or life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with focus, managing relationships, or just trying to keep up—you're not alone. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, build coping tools, and explore who you are and what you need. Together, we’ll work at your pace to help you feel more grounded and confident.

Help me, help you. Taking a step toward beginning therapy is brave and you aren’t alone! Though it may feel daunting initially, therapy can be quite rewarding.

I offer both in person and teletherapy and I am typically able to be flexible with scheduling. I'd love a chance to meet you to see if we would be a good fit!

Hey there! Feeling overwhelmed by life, school, or relationships? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. College can be an exciting time, but let’s be honest: it can also be a lot. Between juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, and figuring out your future, life can feel downright overwhelming. Maybe you’re dealing with stress or anxiety that won’t let up. Perhaps you’re struggling to manage perfectionism, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know that you’ve taken an incredible first step by exploring support—and I’m here to help. As a therapist, I work with college students like you who are navigating the stress and uncertainty that often comes with this stage of life. Whether you’re trying to balance school and personal life, sort through complicated emotions, or just figure out who you are and what you want, I’m here to offer you a safe, supportive space to unpack it all. What You Can Expect in Therapy Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or clinical—it’s about you. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind without fear of judgment. Whether it’s anxiety about grades, relationship struggles, or the pressure to have everything figured out, we’ll work through it together. We’ll explore what’s been holding you back and develop strategies that actually fit into your life. I use evidence-based approaches, mindfulness techniques, and tools for managing stress and anxiety, but I also believe in keeping things real, relatable, and sometimes even lighthearted. Growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy—it’s about learning how to navigate life in a way that feels true to you. Why College Students Choose Therapy Here are just a few of the reasons students come to me for support: Stress & Burnout: College life can feel like one big to-do list. We’ll work on managing your stress and setting boundaries so you can feel more in control. Anxiety & Perfectionism: Always striving for the best? Constantly overthinking? Let’s work together to quiet the pressure and find more balance. Relationships: Whether you’re navigating friendships, dating, or family dynamics, I can help you build stronger, healthier connections. Life Transitions: Moving to a new place, choosing a major, or figuring out what’s next after college? These changes can feel overwhelming, but they’re also opportunities for growth. Self-Discovery: College is a time of exploring who you are. We’ll work on building your confidence, tuning into your values, and creating a vision for your future. A Little About Me I’m Rachel McCrystal, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I’ve dedicated my career to helping people—just like you—navigate life’s challenges with care and confidence. Outside of therapy, I’m a mother, a military spouse, and a breast cancer survivor, so I deeply understand what it’s like to feel stretched thin and uncertain about the future. My own experiences have taught me how important it is to have someone in your corner—and that’s exactly what I aim to be for you. This Is Your Time I know it can feel scary to take that first step toward therapy, but I promise, it’s worth it. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out—I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you figure it out. Therapy is about creating space to breathe, reflect, and grow. It’s about learning to trust yourself, embrace your strengths, and navigate challenges with more clarity and resilience. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start moving forward, let’s connect. Your next chapter is waiting, and I’d be honored to be a part of it.

I was a client before I became a practitioner and still utilize my own therapist from time to time. I do on-line telehealth. I encourage my clients to get cozy with a coffee, tea, favorite blanket, hoodie, and animal in lap if applicable. The online process is very convenient and easy to do. We are all swimming in this pool of life and suffering is inevitable, my job is to help you navigate it in a way that you feel supports your best self. Therapy is only as good as your relationship with your therapist, so if you feel like you resonate with me, send me an email.

I specialize in treating individuals who are survivors of various forms of trauma, and those struggling with body image issues/changes, low self-esteem, life transitions, women’s issues, depression, OCD, and anxiety disorders.
