Motivational Interviewing Therapists in 53705

I believe therapy is a collaborative process in which we will work together to determine your goals and then achieve them. Because I work both cognitive-behaviorally and psychodynamically, I am able to work with you on two different, but both very important levels depending on your goals. On one level, I can help you simply feel better and improve your coping skills. And on another level, and to the extent to which you are interested in doing so, I can help you understand the deeper roots of your symptoms and life patterns.

Brainspotting, Healing, and Recovery - let's collaborate to discover the therapy approach that fits best for you. I offer compassion-based therapy including Brainspotting, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindful Self-Compassion. These are proven ways to help us make meaningful changes in our lives. I believe that we all have the skills and strengths needed to heal and make positive changes in our lives. Therapy can help us access these parts of ourselves and give us strength to create meaningful change.

I work with adults and adolescents using an integrative framework in order to meet your individual needs. As long as you are motivated to make positive changes in your life, I'm here to help you through it. While, I am able to help you through a variety of difficulties, there are 3 primary groups that I specialize in working with. First, I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly around support with identity exploration or gender affirming care. I know the importance of having someone knowledgeable about some of the specific issues that this community faces and am available to talk about any difficulties.

Are you sick and tired of feeling “sick and tired?” Are your negative thought patterns, limiting self beliefs and anxiety holding you back? Or maybe you are looking for someone to provide you extra support while navigating the highs and lows of life? Whatever your reason may be, I’m here to tell you-it is VALID and you deserve to take some time and space to heal, learn and grow.

Whether you are considering making changes for the first time or looking to maintain long-term growth, my goal is to walk alongside you on that path for continued self-discovery. The goal of therapy is to promote biopsychosocial-spiritual wellness built on your values and boundaries. Therapy works best when it is collaborative so my intention is to provide the space for you to express yourself freely and get to know yourself on a deeper level as we work towards a collective goal. I like to draw from a background of CBT skills, shame-resilience, and positive psychology to empower the people I work with.

I have provided psychotherapy for over 35 years. I listen to your concerns and your strengths to find the best ways to help you make the changes needed. You may have already made some changes and these are vital to build upon. No concern is too small, and we will often see a snowball of positive changes occur.

Life presents many challenges and changes. I have been providing mental health services to children, teens, adults and families for many years.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

Hello! I'm Samantha! I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in treating eating disorders. I have experience working in residential eating disorder treatment and outpatient mental health treatment.

LOVE! It is one of those words that either makes you giddy with joy or a little squirmy in your chair. Love is one of the things we long for most in our lives. Whether you struggle with romantic love, family love, agape love or even self-love, I would like to help. I provide therapy options in both Madison and Janesville to help make sure you have an option that is close to home. I aim to provide a warm space to help you feel at ease while you work through the toughest areas of your life.

I offer sophisticated psychotherapy to individuals and couples with warmth and compassion. Specializing in working with high-functioning professionals (physicians, psychologists, professors, lawyers, executives), you will receive my full attention and focus as I learn about you, understand why you feel, think and behave the way you do and help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and your problems. We can look at patterns in your thinking, behavior and way of relating to others that may be holding you back. I also offer psychological testing in order to gain deeper insight into your personality style.

AA not your cup of tea? Come see me. Love your spiritual fellowship - I can still help with science-based methods. With 30 years experience & my continuing love of science, I offer practical, up-to-date, evidence-based practices and warm understanding. I'm active-directive, not just reflective; empathic and not confrontational. You'll feel understood & accepted. Discover, commit & ACT on your values; overcome unnecessary suffering, get motivated, accept yourself unconditionally, act assertively without guilt, and change harmful addictive behaviors without (or with) 12-Steps spirituality. Cut down or quit; you choose. Call & let's jump start your changes.

Positive change is possible when a person is provided the tailored support needed to draw upon their own strengths and insight. There is value in knowing and treating the whole person and I focus on the diverse set of characteristics and circumstances that can both create life challenges and be better understood to overcome personal obstacles. Skill building to address mental health needs, increasing confidence and self-esteem, and creating targeted goals are primary elements of my practice.

For the past 20 years, I have worked with families, couples, adults, and adolescents. Using cognitive-behavioral theory with narrative techniques, I help empower clients to explore areas within their lives that present challenges and inhibit change, and assist them with finding solutions that will work for them. However, I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital component within any program, which means that I believe that any work needs to be collaborative between myself and my clients. I am certified to deliver trauma-focused treatments as well as providing services to help manage stress and anxiety.

Hello! I'm Abby.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery & empowerment? It takes courage to confront the stories that have shaped our lives and rewrite them into narratives that uplift and inspire. If you find yourself trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts or behaviors, know that you're not alone. Taking the first step towards change is monumental, and it's a step you don't have to take alone. In therapy, we'll work together to unravel the patterns that hold you back and discover the strength within you. My approach is rooted in collaboration, drawing on your unique strengths while compassionately exploring the challenges you face.
