Alli Mohler, LCSW
Alli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and achieved both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work through Indiana University (Bloomington 2007 and Indianapolis 2010, respectively). She has spent the last 10 years of her social work career specifically in the field of adoption, working with adoptees, expectant, birth and adoptive parents. Alli provides both therapeutic counseling services and coaching for adoptive parents. In addition to adoption, her areas of focus include depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma and relationships. Alli works with youth/adults 15 and older.
Alli combines her social work education/experience with her own personal journey of healing from pre-verbal parental loss to provide trauma-informed, adoption fluent therapeutic and coaching services. She is trained in Motivational Interviewing and Brainspotting. Her practice is guided by (but not limited to) cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, attachment and internal family systems theories. She believes in the importance of the relationship between client and practitioner, trust between the two being the foundation for transformation. Alli takes a client-centered/led approach and believes all individuals are worthy and deserving of a safe, supportive space to process, learn, heal, and grow.
Outside of the office, Alli lives with her husband and two young boys in urban Indianapolis, where she balances family life with her love for athletics and the arts. A former competitive synchronized swimmer, she still finds joy near water and hopes to resume dance lessons with her husband. Known for her relentless curiosity, Alli views healing as a personal, sacred journey and feels honored to support others in their path of self-discovery and growth.
Katy Wagner, MA, ATR-P, LMHCA
Katy’s art therapy practice can help people of all ages navigate life’s many moments with creativity and compassion. She uses traditional materials like paint and clay, along with everyday items and found objects, to help her clients explore and understand themselves and their world. Sessions with Katy are a collaborative effort, where the therapist and client work together to problem-solve and make sense of what brought the client to therapy.
Katy curates welcoming, inclusive, and supportive spaces, requiring no artistic skills—just a willingness and openness to explore, try, and learn. Paints and markers transform into resourceful tools, producing tangible products of insight. Katy is an empowering guide for building self-esteem, cultivating healthy relationships, enhancing communication skills, and healing the self while being human in this busy world.
Katy attended the University of Indianapolis for Pre-Art Therapy in 2005. She attended IU/Herron School of Art and Design for Art Therapy in 2022. Katy is currently a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHC-A). Katy would describe herself as a “creative-living enthusiast” whose whole world involves creating of some sort. She is almost constantly creating, experimenting, designing, teaching, researching, collaborating, learning, advocating, or participating in shows, exhibits, or initiatives. She enjoys music, nature, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. In the “free” time she has, she can be found playing board games, attending live performances, or spending time with her two dogs, Zoe and Jack.
Allison Musselman, MSW LSW
Allison is a mental health therapist who specializes in her work with birth mothers; children and their parents; and those experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. She practices from a lens of companioning—assuming no status or command in her work with clients. Allison aims to learn from her clients, and in turn, help them learn and grow from their own inner knowing.
Allison has both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work. Her undergraduate study took place at Indiana Wesleyan University, and her graduate degree is from IUPUI.
In her personal life, Allison enjoys tending to her houseplants, nurturing her two children, and spending quality time with her husband. She loves curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee or tea. Puzzles, running, and catching up with friends are among some of her favorite activities.
Allison is a trained Brainspotting Therapist and would love to work with individuals who are interested in this treatment modality. She additionally partners well with individuals who are open to continual learning about themselves and the world around them. Allison has a unique ability to sit with those who are experiencing the isolating feelings surrounding grief and loss, as well as anxiety and deep sadness.
Amanda Carr, Owner
Amanda is the Owner of Beyond the Sun Therapy. She received her Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies in 1998 from Indiana University. Amanda has spent her entire professional career in the realm of adoption. Her work has evolved in many ways, and she is continuing to grow and learn. Amanda is currently enrolled at Indiana Wellness College to become a licensed Sports and Medical Massage Therapist. She has also completed the first of two courses at the Upledger Institute learning the practice of CranioSacral Therapy. Her work in adoption has inspired her passion to be able to treat the trauma that can be stored in our bodies.
Amanda approaches her clients in a holistic and compassionate manner as she believes that anyone who suffers from trauma, PTSD, hypervigilance and anxiety deserves a safe space to release that tension. Amanda’s career in adoption has given her a unique ability to truly listen to her clients and their goals for the overall health and function of their body.
When she isn’t working or studying for her next exam, Amanda loves to spend time with her 2 daughters and close family and friends. In the colder seasons she can be found at home reading historical fiction or watching football with her adult son. In the warmer seasons, she can be found biking on the local trails or boating on the lakes. She has always enjoyed being active and showing her kids what an active lifestyle looks like, which has included weightlifting, spinning, running, kayaking and finally yoga!
At her graduation in summer of 2025, Amanda will be serving clients (aged 9 and up) at Beyond The Sun Therapy. Until then, Amanda’s sessions are currently offered at no cost because she is a student.
