I have enjoyed working as a partner in mental health and wellness for 20 years. It is my hope that as I walk alongside the client he or she will recognize strengths, develop skills, and embrace healing. While I have specialized training in some complex issues, much of the work of a counselor is helping people deal with the everyday struggles most of us face on a daily basis.

Do you live in a world of sadness that feels like it will swallow up everything else in your life? Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a situation, or how you thought life would be. Or maybe you feel a push-pull between punishing yourself out of guilt, and letting yourself heal so you can move forward. Many of my clients begin therapy feeling trapped in the past, whether that involves a childhood
trauma
or a decision they regret. I can help you understand what you’ve been through and how it’s impacted you. By embracing your story, the good and the bad, you can feel a sense of peace you may not be able to imagine.
Laciee Rousseau
LPC Intern
Verified
During my work in substance use disorders, I have had the honor of working with clients through anxiety disorders, sexual
trauma
, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and more.
Have you ever felt like you will be judged for the struggles you are facing? Or that you are alone and lost with your thoughts? Or feel like you have nowhere to turn? You deserve a space to feel heard and share your stories without judgement; to have a human connection and allow your self space to heal. My favorite part of being a therapist is connecting with someone and providing a safe space for them to be vulnerable. I believe that finding a therapist with who you connect can make a difference in your therapeutic experience.

Stephene VandenBrink
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
My approach involves the whole person--past and the present; mind and body, it is
trauma
informed and attachment focused.
Life can present us with a myriad of troubles. Sometimes we get stuck in survival mode; we’ve spent years just getting by or we’ve been knee deep in struggle. Maybe you’re tired? Tired of sadness, anger, hopelessness, physical pain, and anxiety. You’re ready for change, but need someone you can be honest with. Someone who won’t judge you, but will gently help you walk in new paths and gain the freedom and healing that you long for.

trauma
,
PTSD
/complex
PTSD
.
Many of us have experienced pain and distress through relationship with ourselves and with others. I believe that relationships can serve as a catalyst for change, and counseling can offer a corrective relational experience to aid development and facilitate growth. It is a truly amazing experience to connect with another person in an authentic, non-judgmental way; to be fully seen. Everyone deserves the opportunity to be fully seen. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we work together to set goals, explore, and gain deeper understanding into who we are and how we are in relationships.

I believe the body naturally wants to move towards healing and use this approach through my work with
trauma
, anxiety, and stress. I am passionate about equipping people to work through past, present, and future challenges and strive to be a peaceful and supportive presence in the process. I believe therapy is a place for laughter, tears, connection, and healing.
