About me

I am a License Clinical Social Worker in Indianapolis, In. I have over 20yrs in the field working with youth and families. I received my undergraduate degree from Central State University and my MSW from Indiana University in 2014. I have worked as a case manager, care coordinator and a Homebased Therapist. I have worked with different families on a myriad of issues from serious mental health issues, anger management and family conflict.

Working with youth is something that I found to be very rewarding. In today's society youth are dealing with a lot of issues from school, social media and just the social environment in general. Some youth have a very difficult time talking to their parents about the issues that they are facing today. It is my hope that by working with me that I can help the youth process their thoughts, feeling and behaviors so that they can continue to navigate this world as a mentally health person.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elwanda Haynes. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

She isn't just an awesome therapist but probably one of my favorite people to talk to. She really helped me thru some hard times and gave me confidence to deal with them in a healthy way. I got thru these issues with a lot of grace and recieved the outcome I had hoped for.

Elwanda was extremely helpful and informative in our initial session. She was extremely knowledgeable and insightful, maintained excellent professionalism, and made me very confident progress would be made regarding the issues I brought to her. I can't recommend Elwanda enough.

Our preliminary sessions with Elwanda have really been very helpful in figuring out where we aren’t seeing eye-to-eye during arguments. She’s able to relate to both of our points of view and offers up tools we can work on developing individually for the next session. I’ve left our sessions reflecting on points that Elwanda made that resonated well with me and we’re able to discuss those further after the sessions are over.

Elwanda Haynes has been incredibly respectful, caring and I feel truly heard for the first time in over a decade. It's been a rollercoaster that brought me to teencounseling.com but I'm glad I did it, Elwanda has been everything I could have hoped for.
