Michaela Spangenburg

Michaela Spangenburg is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience working with individuals, adolescents, and families. She focuses on trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, and compassion fatigue, and also addresses a wide range of related areas including attachment challenges, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and domestic violence. Her work attends to recurring patterns that often have roots in childhood or family dynamics.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that blends trauma-informed attention with evidence-based techniques and deeper relational and insight-oriented work. Michaela emphasizes practical tools for managing emotions, setting boundaries, improving communication, and navigating difficult relationships while supporting exploration of underlying experiences that sustain unhelpful patterns.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to meet people where they are while helping them build clarity and more manageable daily routines. Michaela uses a professional, compassionate style to help clients move toward greater connection with themselves and others without requiring that they have everything figured out before they begin.
