Brian Lahti, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Talk Indy, a private practice in Fishers and Carmel, Indiana. I started Talk Indy with the guiding belief: your voice matters.

My path to becoming a therapist has always been centered on creating spaces where people feel supported and understood. Early in my career, I worked in school environments, as a caseworker,and supporting children and families through some of their most difficult challenges. I later served as a therapist with an organization contracting with the Department of Child Services, where I walked alongside families navigating complex systems, trauma, and transitions. These experiences deepened my passion for helping children, parents, and individuals not only cope with challenges, but also build skills that lead to stronger, healthier connections.

At Talk Indy, I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and families who are managing emotional and relationship trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions. I also lead therapy groups that encourage creativity, emotional growth, and practical skill-building, because I believe healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and connected. My approach blends compassion with creativity, often using engaging activities and tailored strategies to make therapy meaningful both in and outside of sessions.

I’ve always carried the heart of a servant in my work, and I continually strive to create a space for healing and growth. My goal is to empower clients while knowing they don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Outside the office, I’m a husband to my wife, Abby, and a dog dad to our golden retriever, Max. I enjoy exploring Indy’s food scene, supporting local businesses, and finding creative ways to blend play, connection, and healing in my work and daily life.
