HISTORY OF THE CABIN

The Cabin Counseling and Resource Center began in 1999 as a small counseling ministry within Zionsville Presbyterian Church. It was created to meet a growing need for accessible, professional mental health support in the community. With only two providers at its start, the organization focused on offering compassionate, client-centered care to individuals and families.

In 2002, Deidra Rausch, LMFT, became Executive Director and guided the organization through significant early growth. As demand for services increased, The Cabin transitioned in 2010 from a church-based ministry to an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This shift allowed the organization to expand its services, broaden community partnerships, and strengthen its long-term sustainability.

Over the following decade, The Cabin expanded its clinical offerings to serve children, teens, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of mental health needs. The organization also grew geographically, opening a Westfield office in 2019 and a Lebanon office in 2022 to increase access for residents of Hamilton and Boone counties.

Throughout its history, The Cabin has maintained a commitment to ensuring that financial hardship does not prevent individuals from receiving care. The organization provides sliding-scale support and financial assistance to help clients access counseling regardless of their ability to pay.

Today, The Cabin operates as a trusted mental health provider with multiple locations, a diverse team of licensed clinicians, and a mission centered on compassion, accessibility, and professional excellence.
