Frequently Asked Questions
Does Indy Counseling Professionals (ICP) offer Youth Services?
Yes, we have an expansive team of clinicians that see children under 18. Youth Services are led by Youth Services Clinical Director Amy Earl, LCSW. The team has vast expertise and meets monthly to stay up on the best practices for serving minors.
How can I enroll my child(ren) for services?
The best way is to complete our Minor Contact information sheet on the website but you may also call our office at (317) 207-6095. Please pick Option 3 for our Lawrence Location and Option 1 for our Carmel Location
How can I find the best match for my child(ren)?
Our Staff page (link) lists all the therapists at both locations, if they have virtual options, their specialties and the age range they will see. The Administrative team can also help you find the right match. Parents may request a free consultation to meet the therapist and see the location for our Admin Team.
What if I have joint legal custody or I don’t have the permission of the other caregiver for my child(ren) to participate in services?
Indy Counseling considers mental health treatment the same level of medical treatment, therefore requiring consent from all legal guardians. We do allow a clinical assessment to be completed without consent from all parties to see if the child(ren) are clinically in need of services. If services are needed, consent from all legal caregivers will be required. If a caregiver supports services but won’t complete consent for treatment paperwork, a verbal or email consent will be accepted. Legal caregivers will also have to share the login for the electronic health records (EHR). For full requirements of enrolling your child(ren), please read our full policy using the button below.
What else do I need to know before I enroll my child(ren) with Indy Counseling Professionals (ICP)?
We will need the child’s date of birth, insurance information and any custody or legal decrees that explain who is authorized to establish treatment before services begin. All documentation requested by ICP must be filled out 48 hours before the initial assessment or the appointment will be rescheduled.
