Therapy for Entrepreneurs & Business Leaders in Indianapolis
Indianapolis has established itself as one of the Midwest's most dynamic cities for entrepreneurship. The city's growing tech sector, its strength in life sciences and healthcare, the thriving small business community, and the presence of major corporate headquarters have created an environment where founders, executives, and business leaders are building serious companies and carrying serious responsibility.
That responsibility takes a toll that is rarely discussed openly. The pressure of leadership, the isolation of being the person making the final call, the anxiety that comes with financial risk, the relationship strain that builds when work demands crowd out everything else — these are the costs of entrepreneurship that no business plan accounts for.
Sue Shekut, LCPC, SEP provides telehealth therapy for entrepreneurs and business leaders throughout Indianapolis and Indiana. With more than 25 years of entrepreneurial experience before becoming a therapist, Sue brings a grounded, practical understanding of what leadership pressure actually feels like — and how to address it at the level of the nervous system, not just the mindset.
