About

Helping you take the first step to hope

If you or someone you know needs assistance in facing life’s many challenges, Care to Change is a professional counseling center that is ready to help.

Life is never easy, but there are times when it seems that you’re just plain stuck in the wrong place. You want to move toward something better and happier, but you can’t seem to make it happen on your own.

Maybe it’s a relationship that’s troubled or broken. Maybe it’s a fear. Maybe it’s something that hurt you long ago. Or maybe it’s a feeling you just can’t put into words.

You’re not alone. We’ll help you (or your loved one) see the steps to take, and walk along with you.

Michelle Alexander

Michelle Alexander

Meet Michelle Alexander

From a young age, Michelle enjoyed working with children and wanted a career that allowed her to help others. Earning a degree in Elementary and Special Education from Ball State University was a natural first step. But after several years in the classroom and time as a Registered Behavior Technician working with children with autism, her desire to help at a deeper level grew.

So Michelle enrolled in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling master’s degree program at Indiana Wesleyan University and graduated in 2022. Michelle serves in the areas of trauma and grief, anxiety and depression.

When not serving, Michelle finds plenty of enjoyable time with family, friends, and her somewhat-spoiled dog, Nala. She also enjoys crafting, seeing Broadway shows, and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals.
Sherry Follett

Sherry Follett

Raised in a pastor’s home, Sherry was a constant witness to the healing power of Christ’s love. She watched as people who were broken, who were hurting, and who were desperate for hope found their lives and their faith restored and strengthened, and she vowed to do the same for others. She had a particular gift for providing hope to women who were struggling with life by walking alongside them and sharing God’s truth.

Educated at Johnson University in the foothills of Tennessee, she became a Christian counselor, earning certifications in Professional Life Coaching and Prepare/Enrich marriage preparation. She has long been a staff member at a local church, helping women see their value and worth so they can lead an abundant life with God.

Sherry and Doug share six adult children and will soon be grandparents to 11.

Moriah Veach

Meet Moriah Veach

What makes people do what they do? That question has fascinated Moriah since childhood, so it’s no surprise she found herself called to counseling. While earning her undergraduate degree in psychology from Cedarville University, she served an internship at Care to Change and was particularly impressed with the approach combining the evidence-based practices she was learning in classrooms with the Biblical foundation that has long been at the center of her life.

She hopes God would lead her back to us, and that’s exactly what happened. Today, Moriah is working on her master’s in social work from IU while serving women and teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma, especially those seeking to overcome addictions. She helps them understand the power of hope and supports them as their redemption stories unfold.
Kate Tucker

Kate Tucker

Kate joined the Care to Change team because she believes in the power of combining evidence-based practice with a foundation in faith, and because she has witnessed the life-changing help our team provides.

Her decision to become a therapist is rooted in her lifelong desire to help children develop and strengthen their coping skills so they’re able to improve their relationships and mental health today, and so they’ll become healthy adults down the road. She has a particular love for working with young people because she views them as remarkable. Seeing their creativity, insight, resilience, humor, curiosity, awe, and capacity for growth is a never-ending source of amazement for her.

Kate earned her Master of Social Work from Indiana University and received LSW credentials in both Indiana and Ohio. She and Jeremy are members of Refuge Church in Indianapolis and share their home with a foster son, two dogs, and one delightfully fluffy cat. While all that keeps her busy, in those r
Ginger Boyce

Ginger Boyce

Ginger’s path to teaching people yoga to help with mental health challenges took her through traditional science and one of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Health Science from Anderson University, Ginger spent a decade in clinical trial research for Eli Lilly & Co.

Her entrepreneurial spirit moved her into opening Blue Sage studio and Laynee’s boutique and helping her husband who owns a real estate business, until she sought something more personally and professionally meaningful. Ginger’s experience led her to become a registered yoga instructor (RYT-200) and to pursue training in trauma sensitive yoga. She has been teaching children, adults, and groups for the past couple of years and is now using her experience in support of Care to Change’s efforts to help people overcome trauma, lower anxiety, and improve self regulation and overall mental health. She trains first responders in mobility and mindful breathin
