Jess Mills

With a gentle, holistic, and collaborative approach to therapy, Jess Mills, LSW, empowers clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and hope. As the owner of The Brave Life Therapy in Indianapolis, Jess specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, bringing a unique blend of expertise to her practice.

Jess's journey in mental health began with her degree in social work from IUPUI, laying the foundation for her compassionate approach to therapy. Her diverse skill set allows her to work effectively with teens (16-18), adults 18+, and couples struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and perinatal mood disorders. What sets Jess apart is her passion for supporting individuals during the prenatal and postpartum period, drawing from her experience as a postpartum doula.

As a trained EMDR therapist currently pursuing certification, a Certified Trauma Support Specialist (CTSS), and in the process of obtaining certification in prenatal trauma, Jess brings a wealth of specialized knowledge to her practice. She believes in viewing clients as complete individuals within their environment, not just as a set of symptoms. This perspective allows her to meet clients where they are in life and walk alongside them on their therapeutic journey.

Jess's commitment to holistic care extends beyond traditional therapy sessions. She offers innovative EMDR intensives, providing clients with concentrated therapeutic experiences that can accelerate progress. Additionally, she leads an Attachment Repair group, helping participants understand their attachment styles and heal childhood wounds to live more peaceful and authentic lives.

At The Brave Life Therapy, Jess strives to create a supportive and empowering environment where clients can build trusting relationships with their therapist and work towards improving their quality of life. Her approach is not just about addressing symptoms but about fostering genuine growth and resilience in her clients.
