My name is Courtney Krolikowski. I have been practicing therapy for the past 8 years. I currently hold licenses for practicing in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Illinois. I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. I currently reside in Wisconsin with my husband, two year old daughter and very energetic husky.

If you find yourself frequently wrestling with feelings of inadequacy, coming back to the same negative core belief that "I am not good enough," feeling unmanageable emotional distress, and/or ongoing conflicts in relationships, then I am here to help. I help you get to the root of the conflict and distress, while increasing your awareness and confidence that will help you experience the relief you’ve been longing for.

I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!

Welcome! It is truly a joy to serve individuals and families as they work toward progress in health and well-being. Taking the first steps to getting help is brave, but I understand it can also be overwhelming. I hope to provide information that will allow you to make the best decision for yourself, your teen and/or your family. I work exclusively with teens/adults in my professional practice. I am trained in Trauma Focused CBT and Eye Movement Desensitization Processing (EMDR). Youth and trauma survivors have unique needs. It is important to find a therapist that understands this and has the appropriate training and experience.

Sometimes we have difficulty turning life's lemons into lemonade. You could probably manage a bag of lemons but what happens when you're given a truck load? I imagine you'd reach out for help. Using therapy is a similar concept. Having difficulty turning life events into manageable situations. Especially when we're overwhelming negative thoughts, deep emotions, or traumatic experiences feel impossible to navigate. Feeling stuck is bound to happen when finances, relationship issues, disabilities, or caring for ourselves/others are added to our daily responsibilities, feeling stuck is bound to happen and it happens to all of us...

I am here to help children (as young as 4), teens, families, & women from diverse backgrounds. I enjoy helping individuals and families regain peace, order, and fulfillment in their relationships and in their lives in all areas. I often provide solutions focused brief therapy and behavior modification techniques to assist families regain healthy control in their homes. What is keeping you from peace, restoration, and living out your purpose driven life? I aim to equip and empower my clients to overcome life's challenges, experience inner healing, and to succeed in life.

When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. - I genuinely believe that every person is deserving of love, respect, and acceptance solely because they are human. By providing individuals with a safe, caring, and supportive environment, I believe that they can be empowered to become the best version of themselves. My heart is for individuals who feel like no one understands or listens to them, that can be crippling. But together, we can help you create a meaningful life even in the face of difficulties.

I am currently NOT taking new clients. I love working with clients who are having difficulty with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, domestic violence, marital conflict, family conflict, substance use issues and grief.
