Eric Comstock is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor in Indiana.

His specialty is working with individuals and couples who find themselves going around in circles, caught in their own thoughts and having the usual arguments – the ones that can leave you feeling like you’re tangled up in knots

Eric knows many ways that can help you get unstuck.

He has over 24 years of experience helping people and provides individual, couple and family counseling. He offers convenient appointments in the evenings and Saturdays at his office in Indianapolis or by HIPAA-compliant video conferencing.

Eric uses two main approaches to counseling.  Both approaches are based on strong scientific research and evidence.

The first is Motivational Interviewing. This approach can help you get off the fence and increase your internal motivation to take action and make the changes you want in your life.

The second is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, known as ACT.

ACT can teach you how to:

• Handle painful thoughts and feelings more effectively
• Stop self-defeating behaviors
• Have a joyful and romantic relationship
• Increase intimacy, connection and understanding with your loved ones
• Commit to take action and live a rich, full and meaningful life based on what really matters to you

The PsychFlex App

Eric provides you with free access to the PsychFlex app.  This app can help you stay motivated and engaged between sessions.  The app contains powerful tools and exercises developed from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and other evidence-based methods. 

The Gottman Relationship Checkup

In addition to MI and ACT, Eric incorporates elements of the therapy approach researched and developed by Dr. John Gottman when working with couples.  Eric also uses The Gottman Relationship Checkup with clients participating in couples counseling.  

Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, The Gottman Relationship Checkup is a research-based clinical tool that “consists of 337 questions about friendship, intimacy, how well you know your partner, how you manage emotions and conflict, how you share your values and goals, and what gives meaning to your lives. There are additional questions about parenting, housework, finances, trust, and individual areas of concern.” The Checkup is completely confidential, fully HIPAA compliant, and Eric will be the only person to see your responses.
