Hi, I’m Jennifer Weir-Harden, a licensed psychotherapist serving clients across Indiana. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked closely with individuals, couples, and mental health professionals facing a broad spectrum of emotional and relational challenges, providing discerning, integrative care tailored to each client’s growth and well-being. My work offers elevated, evidence-based counseling for those who value privacy, depth, and lasting transformation.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Ball State University and my graduate degree from Howard University, and completed advanced training in psychodynamic and trauma-responsive approaches under the mentorship of leading clinicians on the East Coast and in the Washington, D.C. area. This foundation shaped my understanding of how early experiences and relationships influence emotional patterns and connection and how insight and compassion can lead to lasting change.
Continuing education is central to my work. I regularly pursue advanced trainings to stay current with emerging research and evidence-based practices. This commitment ensures that the care I provide remains deeply effective for every individual I serve.

About Jennifer Weir-Harden, LCSW
Growing up with the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore as my backyard, Lake Michigan became where I went to think, breathe, and find calm.
Shore & Soul Counseling is dear to me because the shore has always been my place of peace. At the water’s edge, I learned that the steadiness of the shore could hold space for my thoughts, and the rhythm of the waves offered my soul the rest it needed. What it gave me is what I hope to offer you — a steady, compassionate space to reflect, heal, and transform your life.

Therapy with me is…
-
Just like the tide, healing isn’t linear and there’s no one-size-fits-all path. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, gently exploring what fits you best so our work can meet you where you are, and carry you where you need to go.
-
I show up with honesty and compassion—I’m not one to just nod and smile. You can expect me to be direct when it matters, always with your growth and wellbeing at heart. Learn more.

Your privacy is my priority. This work is deeply personal, and I hold it with the utmost care, respect, and confidentiality, always. Online sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, so you can feel safe opening up from the comfort of your own space.
How I work
At the heart of my work is the belief that our present struggles often echo old stories—and by exploring those deeper layers with care, we open the door to lasting change.
In sessions, we will work to challenge unhelpful thoughts you may be having and build new ways of thinking. I believe that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. These beliefs may come from our childhood, our experiences and may be what we have learned from others.
