Go Deeper. Break Through.
Sometimes weekly sessions aren’t enough to create the momentum you need. Intensives give you extended time with your therapist to focus deeply, uncover root issues, and make meaningful progress in just a few hours.
At Changing Tides Counseling, our intensives are designed for both individuals and couples who want to work through challenges, strengthen connections, and experience real breakthroughs—without waiting months for change.
What to Expect
A supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and work toward shared goals—together.
Focused Time
Instead of rushing through a weekly hour, intensives give you extended space to go deeper, stay with the hard moments, and create real breakthroughs.
Flexible Options
Choose from 2, 3, or 4-hour sessions, available for both individuals and couples. Scheduling is designed around your needs and availability.
Safe, Supportive Space
Our therapists create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can open up fully and make progress without distractions.

Insurance Billing
Our clinical social workers accept Anthem and United Healthcare insurance.
Our licensed social workers accept Anthem and Aetna.
Utilizing insurance can significantly reduce the cost of therapy. Please reach out to us and provide your insurance information for specific details on your insurance coverage and the cost of therapy.
Out of Network Insurance Billing
Changing Tides will happily provide you a bill for your services with us that you can provide to your insurance company for possible reimbursement called a “Superbill.” Each insurance company provides unique coverage or benefits and due to this we are unable to advise whether your insurance company will provide reimbursement. It is recommended that you contact your insurance company and ask if you have any “out of network” outpatient mental health coverage. We find that clients are frequently reimbursed for some portion of their services dependent upon their insurer.
*Associate Therapist Licensing Information
Our LSW therapists each hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and are licensed social workers in Indiana. They are currently working towards obtaining their clinical social work license by working under a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides supervision for their work with clients. Due to this, they provide services at a reduced rate and only accept Anthem and Aetna insurance.
All clinicians are supervised by Krista Caughey, MSW, LCSW and Shelby Jo Reichle, MSW, LCSW.

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.
Frequently Asked.
Where are you located?
We provide therapy services at our location at 8130 S. Meridian Street Suite 4A, Indianapolis, IN 46217. We are located behind the Chase Bank near Perry Meridian High School and Meridian Middle School. We also provide Telehealth therapy services on a virtual secure platform anywhere in Indiana.
How much does therapy cost?
Our therapy rates are $135.00 per 55 minute session with one of our licensed clinical social workers and $110.00 per hour with one of our licensed social workers. Our couples counseling cost is $135.00 per session. This includes either an in-person session at our Southside office or a secure virtual appointment from the comfort of your home. However, insurance greatly reduces the cost of therapy. Call us or message us today and we’ll be happy to check your insurance coverage for therapy services.
Do you accept insurance?
Currently, we have several providers who accept Anthem and United Healthcare insurance. We also have self-pay therapy providers. Most Anthem and United Healthcare plans offer some mental health services coverage. If you are not sure what your plan offers, we can help you find out. We can also provide you a special bill (referred to as a Superbill) to submit to other insurance companies and you may be reimbursed for some of the costs you paid for your therapy. Contact us and let us know you need information on the cost of therapy. We’ll be happy to help you determine what your insurance will cover.
How long will I be in therapy?
The length of therapy depends on your goals and your progress. After we complete our first appointment with your therapist at Changing Tides Counseling, we will be able to provide an outline of our work together. However, healing is not linear and everyone’s journey is different, which means setting a time frame for healing is very difficult.
How often do I need to attend therapy?
Some clients come to therapy services weekly while others come bi-weekly or even monthly. The frequency of your sessions is ultimately up to you. After your first session, your therapist will discuss with you their recommendation for frequency, but you make the final decision of what works best for you. Together you and your therapist can develop a plan to help you get the help you’re seeking.
