Alexis Marie Vayachal

“Hi, I'm Alexis! I have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from the University of Indianapolis (Go Greyhounds!). I believe therapy is a powerful tool for healing, and I often incorporate art into the process to help clients express themselves in meaningful and creative ways. I offer therapy to clients in Griffith and Merrillville, Indiana. I offer secure teletherapy in various areas in Indiana, for example, Hebron and Shelby, where mental health services may be limited. I coordinate care with other providers under supervision to ensure clients feel emotionally, relationally, and practically supported. I work collaboratively with clients to create personalized treatment plans that support people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and individualized. I’m passionate about supporting individuals across a range of ages, including young adults, veterans, and older adults. Originally from the small town of Walton, Indiana, and part of a military family, I deeply value connection, resilience, and authenticity. In my free time, I enjoy making art, hiking, reading, and exploring new places. My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your journey! Specialties: I view therapy as a partnership. I am here to help and guide you through your experiences but you are the expert on yourself. We will work together to exploring the issues at hand and develop an appropriate treatment plan with goals that fit your best interest. Progress is progress, no matter how small.
