Therapists in Vernon County, WI

Trained as a somatic & transpersonal psychotherapist, my work is rooted in the development and application of transformational techniques for healing and growth. Clients often report experiencing significant personal breakthroughs around life-long challenges. Finding acceptance for where we are and what we're dealing with in life opens the door to creating the life we want and know is possible.

Are you looking for something different when it comes to therapy? I believe therapy can be more relaxed & not always serious & "stuffy". My goal is for you to have an experience of comfort and encouragement while also working through difficult situations and feelings. We talk about your concerns but also about your strengths & looking at things from different perspectives. During these conversations, we can laugh about some things, have a cup of coffee/tea together and color a picture. I work hard to provide a positive, accepting and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to talk about your reality and truth.

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. - Fred Rogers. Life can be hard and overwhelming at times. Life can be heavy. Sometimes, we don't even know why it's heavy. All of those feelings are valid and okay. You don't have to carry that weight alone. I am here to meet you where you are at and help you identify realistic goals to help improve or maintain your quality of life.

Many people who come to therapy believe that there is something wrong with them. I used to feel that way. Through therapy, meditation, and a life-long spiritual path, I feel differently now. The deep work I have done on myself has allowed me to experience a wholeness I wouldn’t have thought possible. I want you to experience that kind of well-being, too. In addition to my thirty-five years as a psychologist, I have studied alternative approaches to healing, including meditation, self-acceptance healing, Gestalt therapy, and shamanism. I rely upon my heart in being with you. I use intuitive skills as well as my training.

I am an anxiety and trauma specialist and I want to help you feel more confident in your life. Often anxiety tells us that IF the ‘bad thing’ we are trying to avoid happens- we cannot cope. These thoughts might look like “What if they don’t like me or I am judged?" “What if I fail?” “What if that really terrible thing happens, or happens again?” “What if I am in danger?” We are riddled with fear that leaves us feeling stuck, helpless, and unsure how to feel better. You may feel alone, but it doesn’t mean you need to move though it alone.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

Hi! My name is Victoria (she/they) and I am a queer therapist at Love Psychotherapy here in Madison. Within my practice, I have a passion for uplifting and empowering individuals by meeting them where they are and holding space for them during our sessions. This includes providing a trauma-informed and identity-affirming environment within the therapeutic space. Fun fact: I am also a birth doula, which I believe positively impacts my approach, particularly with perinatal clients!

I am not accepting new clients until June as new openings are limited. No evening hours open. I've been helping clients find their way through these feelings for the last 11 years. I can help clients learn about and use effective coping skills in order to gain a better understanding of themselves and work on becoming happy, healthy, and strong individuals. Sometimes people are just looking for someone to talk to and I am hear to listen, guide, and help you achieve your best life. I work with everyone to come up with a treatment plan that best suits their individual needs. Let's set up a plan together that we can work through.

My availability is evenings and weekends. Individuals who work Monday through Friday, and need help at a time that can be hard to find someone to connect with are a great fit for me.

Together we can find the path to improve your relationship with yourself and others. I provide realistic hope-infused counseling to help create steps with an individual to reach their goals.

Positive change is possible when a person is provided the tailored support needed to draw upon their own strengths and insight. There is value in knowing and treating the whole person and I focus on the diverse set of characteristics and circumstances that can both create life challenges and be better understood to overcome personal obstacles. Skill building to address mental health needs, increasing confidence and self-esteem, and creating targeted goals are primary elements of my practice.

"What brings you to therapy?" is a classic first question from therapists during an initial meeting. And while we as people share many commonalities, each person has their unique personal story, and we want our concerns to be addressed with respect, insight and understanding, and inviolate trust. I am guessing that you have questions you want answered about yourself, your relationships, your situation, and your history and the patterns of your life . And, you want relief, insight, and clarification of the choices and potential outcomes you face, with effective tools, skills, and strategies to make positive changes in your life.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by challenges in life leaving us depressed, anxious, confused and stuck. Our distress may cue us to pay attention, heal old wounds, and mine our inner strengths and wisdom. Psychotherapy is highly personalized and helps us to manage stress and restore harmony. I draw from various treatment modalities including psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive behavioral, humanistic/transpersonal, 12 step programs, Mindfulness and coaching psychology. I approach therapy openly and collaboratively, and am committed to providing a safe, empathic space where I listen deeply, understand your worldview, and support your heroic journey towards wholeness and well-being.

Feeling like others don’t get you, or that you can’t be successful or happy is stressful and can interfere with your quality of life.

I help people with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness to get back in control and live the life they want. Our thoughts, memories, feelings, and bodily sensations make life so hard. Do they keep you from doing the things you want? Do you feel so overwhelmed you need to run or to escape? Do they make you regret the way you’ve lived? Do they keep you from people you care about? You don’t have to live this way. We can take steps to put you back in charge of you and your life. My mission is to help you be proud of the person you are, get you doing the things you want, with the people you care about most.
