JOSEPH S. ARNOLD, LPCC, BCC
If you are content to spend all your days playing in the shallow end of the pool, I may not be the best choice for you. If you are looking for something more, as a former teacher and coach, now a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and national Board Certified (Life) Coach with over 33 years of experience in the mental wellness field, I might be able to help.
I work with adolescents and adults, and see individuals, couples, and families. Some areas of specialty include addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, anger, compulsive behaviors, victims of abuse and trauma, relational struggles, spiritual struggles, and just overall problems experienced in living. I am trained in the treatment modalities of EMDR, BSFF, and use many other approaches to therapy and counseling in a skilled and informed eclectic manner.
I was a biology major in college, and am now a Certified Brain Health Coach through the Amen Clinics. Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics, states, “You are your best self when your brain is working at its best . . . if your brain is struggling, you are struggling”. I use the same bio-psycho-socio-spiritual “whole person” approach endorsed in Luke 2:52 and at the Amen Clinics.
I have adult children and grandchildren, and enjoy spending time with family and close friends. I am also honored to be a member of the 1976 SEC Champion and Peach Bowl Champion Kentucky Wildcats Football Team.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I desire to walk alongside you, your marriage, or family as we look for the way forward. I am passionate about stories and systems, so our time together consists of me listening to your current season, hearing your story, and guiding you as you navigate where you are, what got you here, and how to move forward.
For couples this is usually practiced from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) perspective. To understand more about Emotionally Focused Therapy, go to the EFT website. You can also purchase Hold Me Tight or Created for Connection to gain more insight.
When connecting with individuals/families we explore the false narratives that can create a false sense of self and help move toward a true sense of self. This is done through aspects of Narrative therapy, Bowenian therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
I received a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Campbellsville University. Additionally, I am a trained Trust Based Relationship Intervention Practitioner (TBRI®), an Enneagram Facilitator (Crosspoint Ministries), and a Prepare and Enrich Facilitator.
Outside of the office you’ll probably find me running, playing board games, reading, or coaching my kids sports teams.
TRACI BRAUN, LPCC, EMDR
What I love most about being a therapist, is getting a front row seat to the transformative work in people’s lives. Prior to becoming a licensed counselor, I worked with adolescents in residential and psychiatric settings in various capacities, and also worked as an adoption caseworker. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide counseling to individuals – both males and females – ages 14 and up. My experience is not limited to the following, but specific areas of specialty and focus include: high functioning autism (HFA)/Asperger’s, depression, anxiety, abuse recovery, adoption related issues, addiction as it relates to alcoholism and eating disorders, spiritual concerns and general life issues. I use evidenced-based treatment modalities, such as CBT, Transdiagnostic Treatment (Unified Protocol), mindfulness practices and IFS. Additional treatment approaches are used as indicated. My approach to treatment is influenced by a wellness and holistic model, which includes helping people become aware of the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the healing process.
My graduate program was completed at Lindsey Wilson College where I obtained a Master’s in Counseling and Human Development. I attended Michigan Christian College for my undergraduate work, completing a Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) and a BS in Counseling and Human Services.
I am an avid lover of nature and animals and am easily amused and enthralled by the seemingly simple. I hail from the great state of Michigan, but have lived in southern Indiana close to 30 years. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our families and our three adorable cats (fur kids). In my free time I enjoy walking, hiking, writing, photography, and reading. And, I am pro-chocolate!
CHRIS CHMIELEWSKI, LMFT
I have always wanted to help others through difficult times, so after my children graduated from high school I went back to college and got my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Campbellsville University.
My approach to therapy is to educate you on what you are struggling with, give you coping skills, and find ways to strengthen you through the challenges of life. I work with families, couples, and individuals. I enjoy helping premarital couples go through a curriculum in order to give them tools to strengthen their relationship and build a good foundation. In my work with teens; I build coping skills, help them to understand who they are, and help them open up about the struggles they are having. I work with families to help all individuals in the family unit see different ways they can work together and have better communication to resolve conflict. I deal with issues such as, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief, life cycle adjustments, parenting, marriage and family relationships, and trauma.
I am certified in multiple programs which include Prepare/Enrich, Symbis Marriage Enrichment and Gottman Therapy levels 1and 2. I use these in combination to help couples change unhealthy patterns and strengthen their relationships. These trainings are also used for couples who are interested in premarital counseling which is usually 5 sessions.
I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) certified which is useful for those who have had trauma. I also use Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help give you tools and coping skills.
In my spare time I like to spend as much time as I can with my 4 grown children, their spouses, and 12 grandchildren. I like to read, do puzzles, and spend time volunteering at my church. I am active in a small group which helps challenge me spiritually and connects me with friends.
My favorite place to be is listening to the waves and watching the sunset on Clearwater Beach with my husband.
Fees are $110 per session, but I am willing to work with you at a lower fee if you are struggling financially. I do not currently take insurance, but do take health savings account (HSA) cards, flexible spending account (FSA) cards, cash, credit and debit cards.

I have experience working with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating substance use disorders. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in supporting female teens and young adults who are grappling with low self-esteem, spiritual uncertainty, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.

My practice is rooted in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows me to tailor my approach to your unique needs.
In our sessions, you can expect to be gently challenged to look inward—exploring emotions, experiences, and barriers that may be preventing you from achieving your goals. Together, we will work to build a trusting, safe environment where growth and healing can flourish.
When I’m not in the office or meeting with clients, you’ll likely find me outdoors—swimming, biking, running, hiking, fishing, or boating. I also enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my friends and family.
