Coronavirus Update
As the State of Indiana continues to re-open, we havebegun resuming in-office sessions. For some, receiving services in-office is appropriate and, for others, receiving services remotely via TeleHealth continues to be the better option. In each case the choice is up to the individual client and their therapist. Some considerations in making this decision include:
- • vaccination status
- • presenting issue
- • age
- • underlying medical conditions
- • availability of technology
- insurance coverage
If you are interested in receiving therapy services, we invite you to contact us (765-287-1922) for a discussion about which service mode is better for you and to learn about the continuing precautions we are taking for the safety of our clients, therapists, and office staff.

While all of the clinicians at CPD work with adults, many of us have specialties in working with children and adolescents. Several of us specialize in playtherapy for young children and we incorporate parent training when needed. We find that children and teens can benefit from a guiding hand at important developmental phases to help turn the corner in a positive direction.
Helping You Find Calm & Peace When Life Becomes Too Much
Our Muncie location is housed in a renovated home, fostering a familiar and warm atmosphere to promote a sense of ease and calm. We have comfortable counseling rooms and a large room specifically designed for playtherapy.
