Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

Do you find yourself stressed managing all that life throws your way? The worry, overwhelm, and panic feels never ending. The stress may be from external or internal pressure, a life transition, or the death of a loved one. On the outside you look like you have it all together but on the inside you're crumbling; not feeling like you. Living between these two worlds is exhausting and all you want is a moment of relief. In counseling we will work together to create lifelong change so that getting through the day is less exhausting and more energizing.

Reflect on your life as it is today. What comes to mind? Are you content? Feeling overwhelmed? Make a change today. I am here to provide you with the guidance needed in order to live your best life. After all, when you choose to do things differently, you are choosing a different out come. "May your CHOICES reflect your HOPES, not your fears."(Nelson Mandela).

Another day spent in the exhausting juggling routine of tending to everyone’s needs but your own. Your newborn kept you up all night – again. You can’t remember the last time you had any time for yourself. Contorting yourself to please everyone has transformed you into someone unrecognizable. With each role you take on – mother, wife, sister, friend – you feel further from yourself. As the stress in the pit of your stomach grows, the tension rises to your throat. You’re overwhelmed, and there’s nowhere to turn. You’ve sucked it up for too long and told yourself things are “good enough,” but they’re not. Don’t lose hope just yet.

Mark Morrison is a licensed clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor who offers personalized counseling services to adolescents, adults and couples. He has more than 37 years of professional experience as a clinician, supervisor, administrator and educator in a variety of settings across diverse private, not-for-profit and public environments.

Clients come to therapy with individual needs, goals and expectations. Difficult, uncomfortable emotions may have you doubting or criticizing yourself. Perhaps you're ready to explore and heal from recent or long ago painful, traumatic experiences. You may feel growing frustration and hopelessness with a marriage filled with conflict or disconnection. Anxiety or depression create a gnawing feeling of being 'stuck' or lacking direction and purpose. My clients describe my approach as collaborative, compassionate and encouraging, supporting your goals and empowering you through insight, strategies and rediscovery.
