“A step may be the beginning of a great journey” In life the first step is always the most difficult for people, the same can be said about therapy. Introducing oneself to someone they just met, trusting a stranger with their thoughts and feelings can be a truly intimidating experience. The purpose of therapy is to provide a safe space for a person to take the first step on the journey of healing and the personal growth that follows. Therapy is fluidic and follows an integrative, and adaptable path determined by the client’s goals.

Personally & professionally, I believe: 1) Attention is our most precious resource. 2) Most of us use only a fraction of our full potential. 3) Our perceived weaknesses are closely related to our greatest strengths. 4) Through intentional daily practice, we can improve the quality of our experiences. 5) Over time we can heal from trauma, unlearn harmful habits, and create meaning from loss.

I believe mental health is as important as physical health. It is my view that mental health can best be described as a spectrum - we are either in balance or out of balance. Currently the society we live in can make difficult for us to remain in balance, and we may find ourselves locked into thought or behavior patterns which prevent us from achieving the life we want. Therapy can help to restore our mental health equilibrium. My hope for my clients is that together we can identify and eliminate the disconnect between thoughts and behaviors so they can live a life filled with meaning.

Who are you outside of being an athlete, teacher, parent, or office worker? As a Mental Health Therapist and 10 years experience in Sports Medicine, I have worked with thousands of athletes, aiding in their physical needs to get them back to full capacity and into competition. Through my experience I have found that, whether on a court or in an office, individuals can only be their best if they are focusing on their entire health and wellness. Their mental game is as, if not more, important as their physical wellness in finding success. I focus on five factors of holistic health: creative, essential, social, physical, and spiritual.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to My clients come to therapy with a variety of different needs and goals.

I am here to help! We all face situations or challenges from time to time that we might not be quite sure how to handle. I am here to partner with you and help you through those times, or even act as a sounding board if you just need to talk! My counseling approach builds on a simple foundation – getting to know you. No two people are the same, and no two situations are exactly the same. I truly enjoy getting to know people, what your strengths are, what your challenges are, and what your goals are. We can work together to establish a treatment to achieve them, and maybe even have some fun along the way!

Life can be overwhelming. Therapy should be a place where the worries of each day are met with compassion, patience, and an optimistic spirit.

Lee Clausen, M.S., P.L.M.H.P., P.L.A.D.C. C.P.S.W.S., began his career in mental health as a Certified Peer Support & Wellness Specialist and he still believes in the principals espoused by Shery Mead in differentiating between learning versus helping, relationships versus individuals, and hope versus fear. Ultimately, mental health support is about understanding the perspective of another; a shared meaning between client and counselor emerges that allows the client to understand the value and meaning in their present relationships and how those relationships allow a new set of possibilities to emerge through a sense of community.

*Accepting New Clients-Same day response*Life events can trigger negative reactions in our mind, body, and soul. A majority of these life events we have no control over. We are left wondering how to deal with the negativity that comes with them. Its normal to have a hard time figuring out how to deal with these reactions. My job is to help navigate. Human's desire attachment, or the ability to seek out help from another in times of distress or obstacles. Healthy attachment creates sustainable purpose, direction, and joy.

Life happens to us and sometimes it's not pleasant. Issues from our past as well as current stress has a way of affecting our moods, behaviors, and relationships. When our own attempts to cope and resolve these issues are ineffective, it may be time to seek professional therapy.

Common complaints include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, abuse/trauma, panic, relationship issues, anger, stress, interpersonal conflict, moodiness, grief/loss, and major life stressors.

I feel every individual is unique; therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique. For therapy to be successful it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. I respect the difficulty of undertaking the therapeutic journey, and therefore consider myself challenging yet empathetic. I consider myself and active therapist, yet the session is not about me...this is your time. I work with adolescents and adults on an individual basis. I also work with couples, families and groups.

I work with adults, children, and families who are looking for assistance with a variety of areas such as anxiety, disruptive behavior, depression, adjustment or self-regulation issues, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. People are often wanting to find strategies to help improve their lives and families often search for strategies to help their child be more successful at home, child care, school, or in the community. I offer a straight forward, judgment free setting in a comfortable environment.
