  • What is a trauma-informed coaching approach?

    Coach RaeLynn is passionate about helping women to be successful and experience embodiment; she takes on a trauma-informed approach incorporating SAMHSA’s three key elements:

    1. Realizing the prevalence of trauma 
    2. Recognizing how trauma affects all individuals involved with the program, organization, or system, including its own workforce 
    3. Responding by putting this knowledge into practice.

    According to the National Council for Behavioral Health, around 70% of adults in the United States have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. That adds up to over 223.4 million people. If you're looking for a trauma-informed life coach Pendleton, IN residents trust, give us a call.

  • What is the difference between seeing a coach or a therapist?

    Coach RaeLynn recognizes the need for behavioral changes and can provide a strength-based, solution-focused approach. Trauma-informed Coaching is a different service than psychotherapy. Trauma-informed coaching is a way of understanding the present moment. Because Coach RaeLynn is a certified trauma-informed coach, she will be more aware of trauma's presence, its current effects on a client, and how to use the client's resiliency to guide them toward solution-focused growth.


    Disclaimer: Coach RaeLynn is not a licensed therapist. She does not diagnose mental health or medical issues and only sees clients who are not more appropriate for therapy services. She does not prescribe or recommend medications. You will be referred to a licensed trauma therapist in Pendleton, IN or a nearby area if your needs are more appropriate for therapy services.

  • Can I use my insurance?

    Coaching services are not covered by insurance. Reach out to our life coach Pendleton, IN locals rely on for more information on session costs.

  • What can I expect in my first therapy session?

    Congratulations on taking that first step into therapy! When going into your first therapy session, feeling nervous or unsure of what to expect is completely normal. In your first session, your therapist will likely begin by asking general questions about yourself. By collecting your history, your therapist will get an idea of what direction you would like to go in your healing and can make a more accurate assessment of your values and needs. Your therapist will likely start their assessment by asking about any symptoms you're experiencing and how they've impacted your daily life. From there, they'll work with you to establish some goals for treatment and create a plan to help you work towards those goals. Remember, therapy is a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and your trauma therapist in Pendleton, IN supports you at every step of the way.

  • What insurance does my therapist accept?

    All of our clinicians accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. If you are privately paying for therapy, your trauma therapist in Pendleton, IN will review the cost of treatment with you. If you are using insurance, we highly recommend calling your insurance company to find out about your outpatient mental health benefit. Your insurance company will be able to review your deductible, copay, and coinsurance information with you for your unique plan. We only accept credit card payments and require all clients to keep a credit card on file; this information is stored on our HIPAA-compliant SimplePractice EMR. 


    Friendly Reminder: It is your responsibility to understand your contract with your insurance company and financial consent with Carmel Therapy Network.

  • What is trauma-informed therapy?

    Trauma-informed therapy has become more prevalent in recent years as providers and consumers alike have become more aware of its importance and how trauma changes your brain. This type of therapy is specifically designed to address the impact of trauma on a person's mental health and daily experience. Trauma can have long-lasting effects on a person and their nervous system. It is common for those impacted by trauma to struggle with its effects even years after experiencing traumatic events.


    A trauma-informed approach means that we acknowledge the impact that past stressful experiences have on our present-day lives. A trauma-informed approach in therapy creates a space to honor your emotions and gives you tools to work with your nervous system instead of fighting against it.


    The six trauma-informed principles and practices are:


    1. Safety 
    2. Trustworthiness and Transparency 
    3. Peer support 
    4. Collaboration and Mutuality 
    5. Empowerment, Voice, and Choice 
    6. Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues

    Working with a trauma therapist Pendleton, IN patients can trust will help you better understand how to show up in relationships through a curious lens rather than a judgemental or self-critical space. In a trauma-informed space, you will feel less ashamed of your past self and work towards greater compassion for all parts of you.
