About
She obtained her Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis. Dr. Prairie has two main areas of clinical focus: early childhood wounds and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which often overlap. She guides exploration of the inner child and various parts of the self, pulling from the Inner Family Systems (IFS) model, to address childhood conflicts that often manifest as relationship challenges, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Dr. Prairie also uses traditional Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques to address compulsive symptoms and stop the endless thought cycle of OCD. She works with all types of OCD, including sexual orientation, pedophilic, and harm subtypes. Dr. Prairie provides thorough, accurate, and affirming psychological assessments, and she is especially passionate about identifying ADHD in adult women, who are often misdiagnosed or overlooked entirely. She offers a safe, judgment-free space for clients to bring their pain and their worries, and she collaborates with them to find out what they need and stay on-task and focused on their goals.
