Stressed? Angry? Depressed? Feeling alone with your problems? Looking for direction and effective support? Tired of not feeling like yourself? Advice from friends not enough? Ready to talk with an experienced professional therapist/life coach? I can help you. Therapy means "to remedy/make better" = learn to reduce stress, feel more in control, have happier relationships, become confident & assertive. I can offer you a blend of talent, integrity, training, experience & dedication. I've undergone my own intensive therapy, lived & studied throughout the U.S. and abroad. Now widowed, I've had a beautiful marriage. I'm an effective psychotherapist & life coach (30 years experience.)

I believe that happiness and recovery are possible! Anxiety, depression, PTSD, partner conflict and family issues can make life hard and can make people feel stuck. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families to change their lives to have more fulfillment and contentment. I want my clients to not just survive but to thrive. The first step is having the courage to get help. Don't live a unfulfilled life when assistance is available to you. Happiness and hope are possible and it is my goal to assist people to live life to the fullest of their ability.

Are you struggling with your mood? Experiencing difficulty with motivation, feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty in finding moments of joy? Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, eating/body image issues, the loss of a loved one, gender identity issues or a life transition. Whatever the issue, I am here to listen, to help you identify and process feelings, to assist you in developing life skills, and ultimately to find hope and to feel better.

Hello, I am Deborah Thoennes. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am passionate about helping others to experience faith, hope, and joy in their lives. We are human, and knowing what is and isn't in our control is empowering.

Are you overwhelmed with life, depressed, feeling "not good enough" or facing a difficult life transition? I will help you understand the thoughts and feelings that keep you stuck in unhealthy, non-productive patterns. Together we will focus on working through challenging emotions, in order for you to let go and move forward with life. I will support your process in a nurturing, non-judgmental manner.

I am happy to travel along with you as you embark upon your healing journey. I strive to meet you within a space where you can safely explore your internal world. While it can be difficult to discover your inner voice and experience a felt sense of safety, each therapy session will give you a chance to reconnect with yourself and find what gives you meaning.

The decision to begin therapy can be overwhelming and can carry a multitude of fears, uncertainties and challenges (Whether you are adjusting to loss, coping with anxiety or depression, or searching for ways to change behavior or attitudes which interfere with relationships or personal growth). Your concerns, whether for yourself alone or in relation to others, will be heard with caring and nonjudgmental attention.

My clients are individuals and relationships that are curious about what a different and more fulfilling future might look like. I believe that every person's identity and experience is complex and worth understanding deeply. I also believe that everyone has a unique and powerful set of skills and strengths (even if they don't know it). Whether you are looking to connect with yourself or your loved ones, heal from trauma, relieve anxiety/depression symptoms, or move through a challenging life transition, I will meet you with an authentic therapeutic presence that welcomes creativity, exploration, and growth.

I love what I do and I love helping people learn more about themselves and find helpful ways to navigate life's ups and downs using your own unique strengths. As a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT) Therapist I help people learn and understand their Attachment Style and how that affects their individual beliefs, expectations and behaviors in relationships in love, family, work... in life! Together we will work to reprogram limiting beliefs and behaviors that may be holding you back. I often get asked, "What is an Attachment Style?" Lean more at personaldevelopmentschool.com

Hello! My name is Dedra. I’m a therapist, which means that I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently have a training license from the state of Wisconsin. Now that we’ve established that I’m qualified, let’s see if you think we’d make a good fit to get your mental health to a better place. Here’s some things about me: I am a mom - both human and dog, a wife, and a veteran. I enjoy traveling, being outside when there’s sunshine, and reading. While these may not apply to you, that's okay! I've worked with many people with a wide variety of traits, beliefs, backgrounds, and mental health concerns.

Trauma is often complex. Given this, I know that it takes courage to think & act in our own best interest. My hope is that our work together lays a path for you to feel empowered to live unapologetically & with freedom to share your gifts. In sessions we will look at navigating your relationships & stress, befriending your emotions & inner parts, being present to your trauma-response behaviors, owning your power & aligning with your personal integrity. We may utilize upsets/triggers & experiences in relationships as fodder to choose peace of mind, joy & "appropriate" accountability.

Life can be stressful. You may be feeling worried, anxious or stressed. Perhaps you are feeling unmotivated and depressed- fighting to complete daily tasks. . Or maybe you're having panic attacks, or struggling with healing from a trauma. We want you to know you CAN feel better, and we can help.

Welcome! I’m Meredith Stoner Heath (she/her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Wisconsin and Illinois. It’s not easy to accept help or to open up to someone new. I believe when clients feel safe and accepted, they are able to make the most change, so I strive to provide an empathetic and compassionate environment that is free of judgement where clients can feel open to sharing their feelings and struggles. During our sessions, we will collaborate together to develop personalized goals that will help you to make the changes you want to see in your life and improve your overall health and well-being.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children (starting at age 13), adolescents and adults. As a strengths based and client-focused therapist, I utilize research based strategies and techniques (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing) to assist clients who are dealing with various mental health issues (anxiety, depression, anger management, stress disorders, substance use, grief and trauma).

I believe as people we have a desire to be seen for who we are without judgment. I am passionate about creating a space that celebrates clients for who they are. I believe this lays the foundation for a deep, meaningful therapeutic relationship which leads to change and healing of the mind, body, and soul. I value collaborating together to meet your needs. I will work with you to identify your goals, meet you where you are, and to walk alongside you on your journey. My passion is supporting those who are fighting an eating disorder, navigating identity exploration and life transitions, body image concerns, anxiety, and depression.

For over 15 years, I have had the privilege of counseling people of all ages and backgrounds that have struggled with anxiety, depression, marital conflict, family issues and academic concerns. Over the past five years, I have also started working with clients that have alcohol and drug related problems. Everyone is so unique. Therefore, my therapeutic approach is a nonjudgmental positive regard and it is tailored to fit the individual, couple and/or family. It has been very rewarding to watch so many clients make better choices and live a more full, enriched life. Every day is a new beginning!
