Ideal clients are couples with relationship concerns, families with adolescence and parenting issues, individuals with life stress, and trauma survivors. These clients may struggle with communication, parenting, stress management, and emotional discomfort from past trauma. Their needs may include communication support in navigating the complex emotional aspects of divorce, conflict, parenting, stress management, and emotional healing. Ultimately, they want to feel heard, understood, and supported in their journey towards a more fulfilling and peaceful life. They seek support in navigating their challenges and achieving their goals.

Fear is the emotion underlying most problems in our lives. We are often the biggest hurdle to reaching our potential. Whether it's fear of success, or performance, stage fright, or fear of becoming more engaged in life and with others, it all connects back to our own beliefs limiting our potential. What we believe about ourselves dictates how successful we are or aren't. Wanting it to be different usually isn't enough. Liberating ourselves from our self-created shackles is the answer, and changing neurocognitive pathways is the key. Life can be very different once this happens.

I'm focused on helping client's overcome barriers to achieving their valued life goals. In order to maximize outcomes, I strive to bring an effective blend of experience, connectedness, expertise, support, empathy, and responsibility to the counseling process. I use the most current methods while grounding therapy in a down-to-earth, friendly relationship. I am also licensed to provide clinical supervision to mental health practitioners.

Areas of expertise include chemical health issues, disordered eating, interpersonal concerns, couple and family dynamics, anxiety and depression, and unresolved issues related to trauma.

I am a white, ciswoman, eager to work with adults interested in integrating Somatic Experiencing work into psychotherapy, a body based trauma therapy. If you recognize that your personal struggles are connected to the pervasive impact of the social, political, structural and power dynamics in which we live, working on that connection can be powerful. Embodied psychotherapy can be helful if you are feeling stuck and flat, or anxious and feel like you can't turn off, or if you flip back and forth between anxious and despairing. I hope to support your natural resilience so you can move through the stressors of life with more ease.

I strive to listen carefully, see people fully, and create welcoming, inclusive spaces and relationships that support healing and wellness. I view a warm and empathic therapeutic relationship as a primary agent of change. I believe that people’s strengths and struggles reflect their identities and the relationships, communities, and systems they are nested in and impacted by. I see therapy as one way to facilitate or rekindle a client’s natural ability to thrive, heal, and have a more connected, empowered, fulfilling life.

Finding the right therapist is important. You want someone you can feel comfortable with, who understands your life experiences and really "gets" you. Research demonstrates that it's the quality of this relationship, more than any other factor, that makes therapy successful. To see if I might be the right therapist for you, you can read more about my approach and what it might be like to work with me at www.wittenbergconsult.com. That will help you decide if we might be a good fit.

My passion is working with college and university undergrad and graduate students and faculty. I come to therapeutic work after training and working as a professor of Latin American history, and I am excited to support students and faculty in a different way. I view therapy as a critical component of wellness, which is essential for true accessibility at all levels of higher education. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, identity formation (gender, sexuality, race, general), imposter syndrome, stress, lack of coping skills, grief, self-esteem, and body image.

Someone who would best fit my practice is someone who is motivated to create change in their life, even if they aren't sure how to do that yet. Someone who is seeking help with improving their mental health, working toward a personal or professional goal, coping with stressors of daily life, and/or wanting a space to be seen and heard would do well in my practice.
