About Us
North Springs Counseling Services
North Springs Counseling Services is a professional counseling practice that seeks to empower individuals in their own transformative process. We approach this process from a Christian perspective, and value each person holistically — as a physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual being. Although we hold a Christian perspective, it is not necessary that those seeking services embrace the same principles.
The counseling process can be a vulnerable experience. We want you to know that each therapist strives to provide a safe and compassionate space for our clients as they develop a collaborative relationship. The counselors at North Springs have a variety of specialties and are passionate about helping clients with their specific therapeutic goals.
Meet The Counselors
Carol Anne Jarboe, LMFT, LCSW
My passion is helping individuals and couples enhance their relationships and live happier, more fulfilled lives. I genuinely love what I do, and this passion fuels my work as a therapist. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I specialize in relationships, anxiety, depression, and Christian counseling. My faith is central to who I am as a person and therapist.
I teach my clients what tools to use to shut off the voice of doubt that plagues their thoughts. The couples I work with learn how to communicate and connect again as a team. The tools and techniques I use are evidenced based and individually tailored.
I received my master’s degree in social work with a concentration in marriage and family therapy from the University of Louisville. Call today to set up your appointment so that we can begin working towards your goals.
Traci Braun, M.Ed., LPCC
What I love most about being a therapist, is getting a front row seat to the transformative work in people’s lives. Prior to becoming a licensed counselor, I worked with adolescents in residential and psychiatric settings in various capacities, and also worked as an adoption caseworker. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide counseling to individuals – both males and females – ages 14 and up. My experience is not limited to the following, but specific areas of specialty and focus include: high functioning autism (HFA)/Asperger’s, depression, anxiety, abuse recovery, adoption related issues, addiction as it relates to alcoholism and eating disorders, spiritual concerns and general life issues. I use evidenced-based treatment modalities, such as CBT, Transdiagnostic Treatment (Unified Protocol), mindfulness practices and IFS. Additional treatment approaches are used as indicated. My approach to treatment is influenced by a wellness and holistic model, which includes helping people become aware of the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the healing process.
My graduate program was completed at Lindsey Wilson College where I obtained a Master’s in Counseling and Human Development. I attended Michigan Christian College for my undergraduate work, completing a Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) and a BS in Counseling and Human Services.
I am an avid lover of nature and animals and am easily amused and enthralled by the seemingly simple. I hail from the great state of Michigan, but have lived in southern Indiana close to 30 years. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our families and our three adorable cats (fur kids). In my free time I enjoy walking, hiking, writing, photography, and reading. And, I am pro-chocolate!
Joseph S. Arnold, LPCC, BCC
If you are content to spend all your days playing in the shallow end of the pool, I may not be the best choice for you. If you are looking for something more, as a former teacher and coach, now a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and national Board Certified (Life) Coach with over 25 years of experience in the mental wellness field, I might be able to help.
I work with adolescents and adults, and see individuals, couples, and families. Some areas of specialty include addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, anger, compulsive behaviors, victims of abuse and trauma, relational struggles, spiritual struggles, and just overall problems experienced in living. I am trained in the treatment modalities of EMDR, BSFF, and use many other approaches to therapy and counseling in a skilled and informed eclectic manner.
I was a biology major in college, and am now a Certified Brain Health Coach through the Amen Clinics. Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics, states, “You are your best self when your brain is working at its best . . . if your brain is struggling, you are struggling”. I use the same bio-psycho-socio-spiritual “whole person” approach endorsed in Luke 2:52 and at the Amen Clinics.
I am married with adult children and grandchildren, and enjoy spending time with family and close friends. I am also honored to be a member of the 1976 SEC Champion and Peach Bowl Champion Kentucky Wildcats Football Team.
Chris Chmielewski, LMFT
I have always wanted to help others during difficult times in their lives, so after my children graduated from high school I went back to college and got my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Campbellsville University. My approach to therapy is to develop a plan that meets your specific needs, educate you on what you are dealing with, and give you skills to cope with the challenges you are facing. I look forward to working with you to help manage any past and/or current issues.
Jonathan Butler, LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Louisville, Kentucky, who has served in churches, residential foster homes, schools, and juvenile detention centers. As a therapist trained with trauma in mind I walk alongside families, marriages, adolescents, and individuals looking for guidance for the way forward. Our time together consists of me listening to your current season and guiding you as you move to what lies ahead.
For couples this is usually practiced from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) perspective. To understand more about Emotionally Focused Therapy you can go to the EFT website. You can also purchase Hold Me Tight or Created for Connection to gain more insight.
When connecting with individuals/families we look at the false narratives that can create a false sense of self and help move toward a true sense of self. This is done through aspects of Narrative therapy, Bowenian therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
I received a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Campbellsville University. Additionally, I am a trained Trust Based Relationship Intervention Practitioner (TBRI®), an Enneagram Facilitator (Crosspoint Ministries), and a Prepare and Enrich Facilitator.
When not connecting with me you will probably find me running, playing board games, reading, or coaching youth sports.
