About Ann Stancil

Hello, I am happy to introduce myself to you and look forward to working with you in order to help you achieve better mental health. I graduated from Indiana University Northwest in 2009 and began working right away in a behavioral health center where i practiced for 16 years. I have experience with all ages ranging from geriatric to pediatric. I have helped clients with mental disorders such as Bipolar disorder, Depression and Anxiety; Personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder; as well as Trauma survivors, people with Grief and Loss struggles and pretty much any and all life situations that can cause us to lose sight of the goals and dreams we hope to achieve. I take pride that I am nonjudgmental, unbiased, open minded. Race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, religion and political affiliation should not become issues in mental health therapy and I hold my responsibility as a clinical therapist with your help to provide the best treatment possible.
