About Your Therapist
LaDortha Mitchell-Young, MSW, LCSW
With over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy. I’ve worked across a variety of settings, helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MSW, LCSW) based in Indianapolis, Indiana, offering individual therapy, clinical supervision, and professional consultation — all through the convenience of virtual and telehealth services.
My therapeutic approach is designed to gently peel back the layers of trauma so you can gain insight into unhelpful patterns and rediscover your authentic self. I take an eclectic approach, using a variety of methods, including strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, realistic/choice, and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapies. These are just some of the approaches I draw from to meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs.
I strive to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and empowered. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you develop healthier coping skills, build self-love and self-worth, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I am also certified in working with victims of sexual abuse and youth with sexually maladaptive behaviors, and I provide ongoing clinical supervision and assessment services for other professionals in the field.


A Bit More About Me
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, going to the movies, binge-watching my favorite shows, and helping others find joy in everyday moments.
I believe healing happens not only through therapy, but through community, connection, and self-discovery.
