EMDR + Talk Therapy
with Charla Cannon Yearwood, LCSW
Hi, I’m Charla
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR therapist in Indianapolis who works with people ready to go deeper than quick fixes or surface-level coping skills. My clients are often high-achieving women, moms, and professionals navigating trauma, anxiety, shifting faith, relationship stress, or family of origin wounds — people who want therapy that helps them understand themselves, unlearn old patterns, and build a life that genuinely reflects their values. You may also meet Owen, my miniature poodle puppy and hypoallergenic coworker, who brings a calming, joyful energy to sessions (and is always optional).
If you’re looking for an experienced therapist in Indianapolis or Fishers who understands the complex intersections of identity, ambition, and emotional wellbeing, you’re in the right place.
Practice Focus Areas
-
Learning to say no, tolerate discomfort, and trust that you’re still loved when you stop overextending
-
Untangling self-worth from productivity and rediscovering rest
-
Understanding the impact of past experiences and learning to feel safe in your body again
-
Exploring who you are beyond roles, expectations, and external validation
-
Shifting from “holding it together” to “living with balance and joy
Approach to Care
I blend clinical tools with a relational, affirming style that respects the complexities of your life. Some of the main methods I use include:
EMDR for healing from trauma, anxiety, and the beliefs that keep you stuck
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reconnect you with your values and build emotional flexibility
A foundation of inclusive, anti-oppressive, and socially conscious care that affirms all identities and invites all parts of you into the room
In-office therapy for residents of Indianapolis, Fishers, & Noblesville.
Virtual therapy for those living throughout Indiana & Tennessee
