Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Darien, WI

As a Therapist I strive to provide a comfortable, respectful and empathetic space that allows individuals and families to gain insight, learn effective coping strategies, and promote positive lasting change. Each client has their own set of skills, needs and experiences that I am mindful of during the process. My approach as a Therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment. I utilize evidence-based practices including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavioral modification.

We believe people can heal and grow and do that many ways. At The Therapeutic Workshop we offer unique and creative services for our clients. We start with listening to you, your unique story, and how you would like to grow and heal. We help you by looking at the way forward and we walk down the path with you, however that path looks and wherever that path goes, and we celebrate all of the success on that journey. We offer an inclusive and safe space and bring our expense and creativity to every individual so you can get what you need.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), licensed in Wisconsin, with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and 16 years working in the field of behavioral health. I have worked with clients, between the ages of 11-82, on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, self-injury, grief and more. I have also helped many people who have been impacted by trauma.

Having extensive experience and clinical supervision with adolescent and adults in various health settings, I have come to appreciate the uniqueness of each person and the journey they are on to wellness. I am non-judgmental and don't feel it is necessary to shame or parent those I work with. In addition to being a psychologist, I am also a college professor, working with students pursuing master and doctorate degrees and a clinical supervisor. These unique perspective allows me to stay on the cutting edge of research and therapeutic approaches to a variety of issues. I am not a corporate or large for profit practice.

Hello! Thanks for dropping in. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. We all have life experiences that can sometimes be a struggle. I have worked with people desiring to manage their difficulties with symptoms of Depression, Bipolar Disporder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder just to name a few. I feel grateful to be able to walk alongside others while they explore and examine more about themselves and focus on achieving their goals and dreams.

Many people struggle to cope with strong/uncomfortable emotions. Learning how to "regulate" emotions is a cornerstone of mental and emotional health. God created all of us as emotional beings who also use reason and logic, not the other way around. As children, our work is to learn how to recognize, validate and effectively use feelings as guides to ourselves, our relationships, behaviors, careers and so much more! If you weren't able to learn these skills, it's not too late! I work with children of all ages, from birth throughout the human lifespan, and help them to grow and thrive.

Is your relationship less fulfilling than you would like? Are you feeling distant from your partner? Are you experiencing unresolved trauma? Are you worried about your children? Life can be completely overwhelming at times!

Hello! I am Becca. Are you having some trouble with your children or teenagers or special needs kids? Have you experienced trauma and you just cannot seem to find your way forward? Is your family struggling? You do not have to handle these things that life throws at you on your own.

Welcome to Bridgelight Counseling! It is my hope to come along side you in your journey and assist you in reaching your goals. I started Bridgelight with the purpose of providing affordable, compassionate, and effective counseling. I grew up in Illinois, and earned my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois. I have experience working in schools, community mental health centers, private practice, and ministry settings. I am committed to continue to pursue greater knowledge and deeper experience in order to better serve the hurting around me.

Is your family not functioning at its best? Would you like your children to listen better? Are you out of ideas/energy to strategize the best way forward for your special needs child? Have you experienced trauma that seems ever present? Sometimes we just need another perspective, a listening ear, or new ideas to move forward.

I have found that humor, empathy and understanding, for oneself and others, are key elements in building relationships with people. These qualities are the foundation of all good psychotherapy. I am comfortable working with people from varying spiritual traditions. My abilities are well suited to people who are emotionally sensitive or traumatized. I have worked well with individuals who have had treatment failures in the past, people who are creative, gifted individuals, adolescents and children. Play therapy is effective with children who have cognitive delays.

Whether you're having challenges at home, school, or work, we'll design a therapy plan that helps you make positive changes. I believe how you feel, what you think, & how you act are related.

I've taught these techniques successfully to individuals and groups. Are you ready to learn?

After establishing a trusting relationship with my clients, I work towards identifying their issues followed by setting mutually-agreed upon attainable goals; one step at a time. I personally believe that the success gained by smaller increments builds confidence which eventually motivates us to achieve more. My clients set the pace; determining just how quickly or slowly they want to proceed. While some only need a few sessions a month, others prefer a more frequent schedule. As a tele-therapy provider I offer the security of a private, confidential “office” with the ease of “meeting” you anywhere at times convenient to you.

My counseling style is to meet my clients where they are at. This means that we will take a look at your life currently and where you would like to be. Then we'll work together to make short term and long term goals. During our sessions we will be exploring some of the roots of your challenges and how to make changes so that you can achieve your goals. I come from a very holistic standpoint, and I believe that working on your mind, body and spirit is very important, as they are all interconnected. As a Christian counselor, I offer my clients the opportunity to pursue long lasting change through the power of Christ.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience. I work with clients to improve their overall quality of life. I believe in the power of the client-therapist relationship and empowering the you to create change. I work from a strengths based perspective while focusing on building a strong, empathic connection with my clients. I recognize the courage and strength it takes to reach out and seek help. Let's work together in creating a reality that matches who you are and where you want to be.

I have always loved working with young people. I feel grateful each day I get to see their excitement, help them learn and grow, and listen to stories about their antics! My passion is for helping young people. I know all too well that being a parent isn't easy and sometimes neither is being a child or young adult. I work hard to understand each family member's unique perspective. I help youth and families to identify and achieve personalized goals. I teach young people effective strategies so they can thrive at home, at school, and with friends. I feel honored to get to help families through some of their toughest times.

My ideal client is a person that is ready for change and willing to put in the work to achieve success. I have extensive experience with all types of mood disorders, substance abuse, life transitions and trauma and use a variety of approaches tailored to my clients needs and current abilities. One important part of my approach is having a goal of treating the actual underlying problem that has been causing distress, not just treating symptoms.

Making impactful, long-lasting change can be difficult. Draining mental health symptoms, substance use, and trauma can contribute to making positive lasting change feel like an impossible and daunting task. I understand the importance of wanting to find that immediate relief, as well as identifying and treating the root of the problem. An essential part of our work is exploring the past and making connections between the past and present. I enjoy getting to know my clients as individuals, assisting them in their journey of learning about themselves, and helping them learn the skills they need to live a more meaningful life.
