Animal Assisted Counseling of Indiana

Animal Assisted Counseling of Indiana provides counseling for children, teens, adults, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Its approach pairs evidence-based talk therapy with a certified therapy dog, Sadie, who sits in on sessions and helps clients feel more relaxed and willing to open up. Dr. Julie Steinbeigle, a licensed clinical mental health therapist with more than 20 years of experience, leads the practice.

Sessions are personalized to each client's goals, and the practice also offers pet grief counseling, family therapy and teen counseling. The office is at 900 Ridge Road in Munster, and the practice serves clients across Northwest Indiana. Appointments can be requested through the website or by phone, and the practice manager handles scheduling and insurance questions.
