Hi there! My name is Nicki, and my passion is to help people realize that they CAN function, live, and thrive despite having mental health difficulties. No matter what others might say, or what your own mind is telling you, please know that you are not alone in your struggles. Whether you are dealing with a psychological condition, life stressors, or seeking personal growth in some way, I am here to validate, support, challenge, and guide you through it! I hope you say “yes” to doing this for yourself. You deserve it because you are human. I cannot wait to meet you and work with you!

Throughout our lives we face many different changes that require us to transition. We navigate shifts in our relationships both within our families and outside of our families. We experience shifts in our careers, parenting, in loss and in love. With every new chapter, we process these changes and we move forward.

Life can hand us challenges, but I believe we can always find hope. I am passionate about supporting others on their journey of self-growth through therapy. I believe that therapy should provide a safe space to process through your thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and learn tools and strategies to move forward. I am committed to helping others have a stronger sense of self-awareness, direction, and balance in their daily life.

Hey! I'm Lauren, and I may not look like your typical therapist, however, I value and foster authentic and equal spaces for healing. There is more than one way to process mental health and I enjoy collaborating as a team to find creative solutions for what is going to work for you. Whether you are dealing with existing or new mental health concerns, substance use/ongoing sobriety, family/relationship struggles, work stress, grief, new or prior trauma, or would just like to have a person to talk to without shame or judgment - I am here for it all!

I specialize in women’s mental health, specifically perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and also see young adults experiencing various life transitions. Whether you're a new parent and experiencing intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or depression, or you are feeling lost and unsure due to different life circumstances and changes, it can be hard to experience the great joy of these new beginnings when you're not feeling your best. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as a collaborative, non-judgemental approach where we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are interfering with your ability to thrive.

Impact Mental Health Therapy, LLC exists to provide you a welcoming, transparent and confidential environment of high-quality, competent therapeutic counseling. My mission is your improved mental health well-being and a therapeutic partnership for life's ambiguous journey.

Over the last 15+ years, I have found passion in building connections with therapy clients who want to manage stress and anxiety, work through changes in their lives, and/or live more authentically. Often, people come in to therapy having tried it before, not connecting or feeling like their provider ”got” them. My first goal for therapy is to provide a space for you to be seen, heard, and validated. This allows for development of trust and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Hello! I know it takes courage to reach out and seek support. Before diving deeper into my approach, I want to share that my next available appointments will begin in February 2022. With availability Tuesday-Thursday 9-4:30PM. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Green Bay. I integrate evidence-based approaches to support the treatment of relational issues, anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns within the family. I take a collaborative approach with the intention to discover strengths, instill hope, and inspire change. (Updated 12.16.2021)

I believe that counseling is a partnership between therapist and client, where together we navigate the areas that are causing disruptions in your life. Using humor, compassion, and a creative variety of clinical approaches, my goal is to guide you in making meaningful changes so you are able to move from simply surviving to thriving and enjoying life.

I'm here to help you bring some change to your life! We'll work together to help you achieve your goals. My areas of experience include treating trauma/PTSD; I am certified in Prolonged Exposure (PE), and have experience in addressing trauma for special populations including healthcare workers. I am also certified to treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs, PPD, PTSD) and support women through infertility, pregnancy and postpartum periods. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals to address unique treatment needs, including support through gender-affirming transitions. I also help people address depression and generalized anxiety.

I am incredibly passionate about increasing the awareness and understanding of Infant Mental Health (Google it, it’s a thing!) and Perinatal Mental Health. Pregnancy, parenting, and all things related can be scary, exciting, and everything in between. And guess what…infants do more than eat, sleep, and poop, and are greatly impacted by their environments. Parents and caregivers deserve to be emotionally well, and there are many factors that can make this difficult, including one’s own history of being parented.
