Life is ever-changing and evolving in manifold ways. We all go through life changes and unforeseen roadblocks that create imbalance within our minds. It is quite empowering to seek out help when our inner self wants to “talk” and respect that need. This is where I come in as a vessel of support to aide in your journey of knowing your inner self and what challenges or changes you might be going through. Therapy can be a rewarding experience when your inner world (feelings, thoughts, emotions) changes positively to reflect your outer world and relationships.

My real passion is in helping my clients step into their own power. I focus holistically on the whole person, which includes the mind, body, spirit and emotion. I believe that all 4 areas are needed to fully heal. I use a variety of holistic and alternative experiential practices to assist in accelerating one's healing process. Through this approach individuals are able to shift out of old patterning, self-limiting beliefs, thoughts, and habits. I am able to help one get to the deeper core issues that are blocking them from living a full and happy life.

We live in difficult times. The impact of coronavirus pandemic is great, including mental health. Millions of people are suffering from the psychological repercussion of COVID-19. Anxiety and personal distress caused by the pandemic can lead to depression. I help individuals in their journey of healing and personal growth. I strive to awaken in my clients motivation, meaning and happiness. My working style is eclectic, and I use different approaches with different people, depending on their needs.

Mental health struggles are normal, and we can all benefit from support from time to time. I am committed to de-stigmatizing the therapy experience, as even the most skilled and strongest among us have sought out ways to improve our lives. Therapy simply allows you the opportunity to obtain support in an objective, supportive, and safe environment. You may have a clear understanding of your specific treatment goals, or you may just feel as if you are struggling but are not sure why. Both are normal. We will work collaboratively to clarify your specific goals and develop a plan to improve your quality of life.

As an agency we have been supporting people via online sessions, with everything that falls “outside the box” for many years. Well our whole world just changed with this pandemic, and everything now falls under that category. Let us help you navigate these uncharted waters. No matter what challenge this all is bringing up for you let us support you in finding a way through this and finding your inner strength during this time.

I feel grateful to be trusted to sit beside you as you grow and show your strength and resilience through life’s challenges. I have been fortunate in my experience as a therapist to have counseled a variety of unique and brave individuals who have allowed me the opportunity to support them throughout vulnerable times in their lives. My experience has helped me recognize that you are the expert of your own life. Therefore, you are the best person to direct your journey toward reaching your personal goals. My goal is to provide a safe space to work through life’s challenges, as well as to provide new perspectives and tools.

My name is Alexandra Berthelon and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor In-Training at Synergos Counseling. I received both my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UW-Whitewater. My native language is Spanish and I offer services in Spanish for those individuals in need. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and families experiencing difficult situations that have prevented them from living a healthier lifestyle, while helping identify their roles within the family and individual strengths that will help overcome those challenges.

What I like most about counseling is having the opportunity to meet and work with people of all ages and backgrounds and to be with them during some of their most challenging times in life. I feel honored to be able to help and support my clients, so they can move forward and have the quality of life they want and deserve.

My first ten years as a psychotherapist were spent in New Orleans, where I worked, in part, to provide support and healing to members of a community ravaged by the traumas of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill. This experience equipped me to serve people within the context of dramatic and disruptive life changes. I collaborate with my clients to manage their symptoms, transform the effects of trauma and grief, address creatively relationship issues, career changes and artistic blocks, and engender personal growth.

A deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships sets a firm foundation for positive and lasting change. Together, we'll work on new and healthier ways of coping with the stresses in your life, so you can enjoy more meaningful relationships -- with others, and with yourself. I can help you move forward on your life's path, and help you stop revisiting past traumas and reliving old challenges that keep you stuck in unhealthy emotional places. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma, unresolved grief, LGBTQ clients & family and couples counseling.

I have experience working with people who identify a wide range of limitations from personality, mood, anxiety (i.e., Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD), Hair pulling, Social anxiety, Panic disorder), and those working through a traumatic experience(s). I see clients across the lifespan and value building a strong therapeutic relationship to support the therapy journey.

Whether you or a loved one are experiencing a life transition, healing from a trauma, having relationship difficulties, finding the stress of everyday life to be overwhelming, grieving the loss of a loved one, or simply looking to feel better, I am here to listen. Therapy can provide you a place to talk about what you are experiencing and help you work through the difficulty and hurt. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

I am not currently taking new clients until late fall. I support individuals, families and couples to help them find the joy and health that they are looking for in their lives. I work with individuals through many of life's struggles including low self-esteem, anxiety, grief and depression. My specialized training in Pragmatic Experiential therapy allows me to work with both couples and individuals on improving their relationships. I have a special interest in helping people determine if they are able to get their relationship to the level of health that they need in their life.

My name is Emma Myren and I am a therapist at Synergos Counseling. I support my clients in identifying strengths and empowering them in taking steps toward meeting their personal goals. I work to identify and use the best individualized approaches tailored to each client's needs. I have had the pleasure of providing individual and group therapy to clients experiencing various symptoms of anxiety, OCD, mood variation, and others. I work with individuals of all ages who are striving to achieve a better understanding of their path in life while also adjusting to changes that have occured beyond their control.

For over 37 years I have had the privilege of working with clients as a psychotherapist in private practice. I brought to this work a dedication to my clients' all around well being; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. My initial training focused on Gestalt and Psychosynthesis approaches, both of these being humanistic and transpersonal therapies. I have gone on to incorporate mindfulness and meditation instruction into my work. Most recently I have curtailed my individual practice to focus on groups for smokers and groups for those with eating issues.

I work with young children, adolescents, adults, couples and families on a variety of topics, from depression and anxiety, health and eating concerns, trauma, sexual and identity issues, and relationship concerns. I have worked extensively with both perpetrators and survivors of sexual abuse/assault. Another area of interest in my work has been with persons struggling with addiction issues; whether the addiction is food, alcohol, drugs, pornography, or any other substance or activity. I have experience working with persons from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds; I've lived abroad and I identify as part of the LGBTQ community.

My approach emphasizes the confluence of counseling and art therapy. I am a Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with professional experience working with people of all ages in community mental health agencies, psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation settings.

As a clinician, I am passionate about providing clients with a warm, compassionate environment, allowing them the space to be vulnerable and to connect with their inner strengths in order to help them achieve their goals. I have experience in implementing various modalities including Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in a partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient setting. When working with clients, I use an integrated approach in order develop individualized treatment plans.
