Family Therapy in Wisconsin

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou ~ Congratulations on taking the first step in this part of your journey toward healing! Whether you have been struggling for a while or are just beginning your journey, whether you have sought therapy before or are new to this experience, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will work to better understand your unique challenges, find solutions that work for you, and help you to achieve your goals.

I seek to create a non-judgmental and collaborative environment to explore one's current, past, and future goals. I am learning Internal Family Systems Therapy as well as Sensorimotor Therapy to work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have experience working with adolescents, anxiety, divorce, life transitions, and religious or cult trauma. I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, as well as group therapy and workshops. If you’re curious about becoming a client, the first step is a conversation. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

My name is Laurin and I have experience working with children, teens, and adults. As a therapist, I believe families are a system and my support is not only for your child, but your family. I want to work side by side with you and your family to help strengthen support systems and healthy communication. I am a licensed professional counselor and am a registered Art therapist in the state of Wisconsin. I come from a trauma informed background and have experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Dementia.

My approach to clinical work utilizes a solution-focused cognitive behavioral model of therapy. I not only believe in safety and coping skills as the root of personal change but also believe psychotherapy must offer more than the ability to cope. I promote thriving, rather than merely surviving. I aim to help clients reach their fullest potential through engaging dialogue and action. My support of Women for Sobriety confirms that through empowerment, people, become more capable, competent, caring and compassionate.

Some of the best stories ever written include success, belonging, safety, and happiness, AND include moments of failure, loneliness, fear, and sadness. We relate to the characters in these stories because we see ourselves in them. My goal as your therapist is to help you write your own story of resilience, accomplishment, and contentment. My approach includes a combination of many evidence-based modalities in order to best assist you in reaching your goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Mindfulness, Systems Theory, and Strengths-Based Therapy.

Needing to make changes? Psychotherapy is an opportunity to look at your deepest fears and face them with the support of an experienced and trusted therapist. I am committed to work with you and support you through a style that is relational, compassionate and challenging.

Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be. Creating profound Peace, Love, Deep Fulfillment, & Spiritual Transformation and tapping into one's natural born potential. It Is Never Too Late To Be What You Were Meant To Become. BE – The best version of your Highest Self DO – The next “right thing” in becoming your “Authentic Self." HAVE – A new found freedom within yourself, to create the peace, love, happiness & fulfillment.

My specialty is working with children, adolescents, and families. I provide a relaxed environment and friendly approach to therapy. I work to help my clients feel at ease and engaged during therapy sessions by utilizing play therapy, art, games, and imagination to help my younger clients communicate their feelings and practice new coping skills.

Do you feel you’ve lost hope and don’t know which way to turn? At times, life can be overwhelming, lonely and hopeless. I would be honored to provide support, hope and compassionate counsel for you and your family during life’s challenging seasons. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Play Therapy and Christian Counseling; to promote hope, healing and growth for kids and their families. I am very passionate about utilizing play with kids, (five years and above) teens and families to strengthen communication, family relationships, emotional regulation and promote healing.

I work with adults, couples, and families who reside in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I commonly help people with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, abuse, life transitions/stressors, and grief/loss. Whether it be providing support through life transitions, helping an individual with the challenges that life brings, or assisting couples in improving communication, I will listen with empathy and understanding and provide different perspectives to bring about resolutions.

You want to enjoy your family and your work, but you're stressed out and exhausted trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes you snap, or need your space, but then you feel guilty and get hard on yourself because you don't want to let anyone down. You're spread too thin and struggle to make time for yourself, and your health and relationships are taking the hit. You wonder "Why does everyone else seem like they can juggle so many things, and I'm so exhausted I'm ready to collapse?" But of course you don't show that, everyone thinks you're fine. Life doesn't have to be this way. You can change this, and it's ok to ask for help!

We can all use a little help at times. Sometimes having someone available to just listen and not judge you is a wonderful thing. I offer a free fifteen minute phone consultation to determine if my services are right for you. I have been a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Green Bay, WI for over thirty years. I provide individual, couple and family therapy for clients 12 years and older. Please contact me if you feel I can help. I look forward to speaking with you.

For over 20 years, I have provided therapy services to individuals ranging from age 8 to adults. Additionally, I work with couples and whole families. I support and treat a wide range of issues and concerns, including (but not limited to) adjustment disorders, anxiety and depressive disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, ADHD, behavioral concerns and parenting challenges. I am a strong local advocate for the Transgender community and I provide gender affirming therapy for all ages and LGBTQIA+ specific support. I am a member of WPATH and can write letters for established clients to support them in their gender journey.

Our mission, at Abegglen Counseling, is to bring caring, compassionate, culturally responsive counseling to all, regardless of race, gender, and income. ​ The providers at Abegglen Counseling understand that making the choice to see a therapist is not always easy so we work hard to ensure every client feels safe, supported, and validated when they are working with us.

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!

In life we are faced with many challenges. Sometimes this happens when it is least expected. This can lead to hopelessness, doubt, worry, sadness, anger, and many other unwanted feelings and emotions. The good news is, despite the challenges you may be experiencing, you have the ability to make a change. It can be difficult to navigate life situations. Finding the right support through these difficult times is an important first step. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, stress management, anger management, and relationship and family issues.

My best fit client is an individual or couple or family that is ready for change. I work best with clients who are ready to embrace themselves or relationships in a nonjudgemental and accountable way. I will at times provide therapeutic homework and I can extend sessions to longer than hour because people need to express themselves in more than 55 minutes sometimes. If you are someone who likes to think outside of the box, you will enjoy my expressive arts background that supports inner wisdom and treats you, the client, as the other expert in the room.

Pathways Consulting has therapists that work with age ranges from 6 years old, adolescents, adulthood, and into senior transitions. We see individuals, couples and families.
