Our Specialties

Trauma Focused Work with EMS/Police/Fire

 Dr. Dardeen spent her undergraduate and early graduate years working as an EMT for various paramedic services in Indiana and completed her first several years as a psychologist in the VA Healthcare system working with veterans returning from OEF/OIF/OND missions. She is uniquely placed to assist our first responders with resolving stressors and symptoms that result from their demanding work environments. She also serves as the clinical director for the 6th Alarm Peer Support Program and an embedded peer support team within the Crawfordsville Police Department.  Dr. Dardeen is trained in two evidence based treatments for trauma: CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).  

Insomnia and Sleep Disorders

 Insomnia and Sleep Disorders affect a significant portion of the population. Most insomnia is behavioral in nature and as such, can be addressed with CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) in as little as 6 sessions for most individuals. The efficacy of CBT-I has been well established and evidence typically shows greater improvement and better long term outcomes than medications alone. Dr. Dardeen is certified in CBT-I consistent with the current AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) guidelines. Other sleep disorders are also responsive to this type of behavioral intervention. Dr. Dardeen can also coordinate with your sleep medicine physician to make sure all aspects of your sleep disorder are addressed.

Dr. Dardeen has been in practice working with people to improve their lives since 2002. She is a certified insomnia specialist and enjoys helping people improve their sleep. She has an additional credential in managing critical incidents and responds to traumatic events that impact our area first responders.  Dr. Dardeen has extensive training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR for Trauma and focuses her practice on treating first responders.  

Dr. Dardeen’s philosophy is that everyone experiences stress and its negative impact in their life, so asking for help in making changes is the same as going to your medical doctor when you are sick. Our mental health requires just as much tending and attention as our physical health does. Creating a strong foundation of wellness and understanding trauma's impact on their lives is critical to keeping our first responders healthy.

 

Dr. Dardeen attended Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana for her undergraduate and graduate training and completed her residency at the Salt Lake City Veteran’s Health Care System in Utah. Dr. Dardeen and her husband have lived in several states throughout the US and enjoy travel, nature, and spending time with their two little boys.

Other Issues We Treat

Stress and Life Challenges

Stress is a normal part of life, however, even small stressors can build up over time and create negative symptoms. If you are having stress related to work, relationships, stages of life, or others sources working with a psychologist to explore ways to decrease stressors and manage ongoing stressors in a positive way can be helpful.

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, discontent, and anxiety are some of the most common symptoms that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through problem exploration, identifying and enacting behavioral changes, and support, we are able to help you improve functionality, decrease the impact of negative emotions, and improve your quality of life. 

Health and Behavior Changes

Making lifestyle changes to adjust to a new medical illness or to make general improvements in your health can be overwhelming and difficult to accomplish on your own. A psychologist can help you translate medical knowledge into positive health behaviors and improve many medical and health related conditions such as managing diabetes, asthma, weight loss, increasing your fitness level, and taking charge of your health. You don’t have to do this alone. Working closely with a psychologist can make the process less daunting and more enjoyable.
