Teletherapy for Wisconsin

A safe place to sort it out is what Lifespan offers. We are a team of five therapists with different talents. Our theoretical experience includes: humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral and solution-focused theories. We also integrate nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness into our practice. Lifespan has depth in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma & struggle w/ a borderline diagnosis.

I believe that every person has the ability to grow, change and overcome obstacles in their life. Within the nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship, individuals can deepen their understanding of themselves, while learning new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so individuals feel safe and comfortable sharing their deepest feelings. If this is your first time seeking counseling, please know that I will help you feel as comfortable as possible. Please see my website to watch my introduction video and to learn more about me and my practice.

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.

LEARN HOW TO MELT STRESS. I will teach you how to return to your composure so you can think clearly again and direct your actions towards doing what you 'can do' and stop worrying about the rest. www.firststepacceptance.com is my website. Insurance companies that I accept are listed. I also offer a sliding scale. Videos explaining how I approach healing work are also available.

I am a Licensed Professional Therapist in Wisconsin with over 6 years experience. My counseling style is warm and energetic. I am intuitive, straightforward, authentic, and down-to-earth. My clients appreciate my honesty, professionalism, sense of humor, and genuine concern for their well-being. I like my clients to take action and do give out "homework" for them to try. I am looking for motivated individuals who are seeking to make a change in their life. I am a therapist for an EAP program, Lyra. I also accept Aetna and Cigna at this time.

We all seek a life that is fulfilling and meaningful, but sometimes during our life's journey, we can come to feel disconnected from that source of meaning. Perhaps the stress and responsibilities of life become overwhelming, and what is meaningful gets lost in the busyness. Maybe a life event occurs (trauma/illness/death/divorce/etc.) that causes us to reevaluate everything we thought to be true. Maybe our relationships or our roles in life begin to shift making us question "What now?" My honor as a therapist is to walk with you as you rekindle that connection and create a life that intentionally honors what matters most to you.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

Winter blues? Bored and have more free time and don't know what to do? Life transitions? Going to college? Low mood? Anxiety and worry? Seasonal depression kicking in? I see adults individually who have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma/ stress related events in their life. I can offer Tele-health options so you can feel safe going through the therapeutic process. My treatment approach is a lot more more person-centered. It can take some time to build trust within the therapeutic relationship.

Life is full of surprises. Unexpected situations occur that impact the ways in which we cope with the world and our circumstances. Handling these issues over and over can leave us feeling exhausted, frustrated, out-of-control and saddened. When things just don’t feel right, it is time to reach out and ask for help. You don’t have to face your challenges alone. I’m a big fan of helping you find your voice and live the life you love. I want to help you find your power and purpose so you can navigate life like a boss!

I will listen with 30 years of experience to help guide you from trauma and transitions in your life. I'm trained in transpersonal psychology, EMDR, and somatic experiencing all while blending indigenous teachings to allow the freedom of natural healing. I have a special focus on those who are curious about their inner wisdom and spirit that is ready for the next step of exploration and growth.

When things go wrong in life, we can get knocked off center, struggle to stay afloat, or lose our way. Sometimes we may feel we've moved on from life's hardships, but negative reactions and reoccurring thoughts and feelings can continue to reel us back, making the present feel like an ongoing struggle. Our minds, bodies, and nervous systems are remembering the memories of distressing life events, even when we don't consciously think of them every day. We get stuck in anxiety and depression- symptoms of inadequately processed, stuck distress from our lives, both past and present.

Stuck? Exhausted? Life not playing fair? Worry and anxiety robbing you? Having panic attacks on the regular? Getting triggered left and right? Someone running or ruining your life? Dissatisfied with yourself, relationships, or career? Unsure of your next steps? I know the pain and frustration when life is not going well. That sense of overwhelm. And I understand the magic that can happen in psychotherapy when you commit to working on yourself, your personal growth, and your healing. We may not all get charmed lives, but we all deserve to feel better. You can feel better. You do not need to navigate life alone.

Having borderline personality disorder can be excruciating. Relationships feel scary and unpredictable, and like you might not survive another rejection. Sometimes things feel amazing and sometimes they feel so bad you don’t even want to be alive. It can be hard to find a therapist who understands, and who has the training to work with your specific needs. Together, we can work towards feeling more confident, peaceful, and sure of who you are.

Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety and depression? Do you struggle with negative beliefs about yourself? Is it hard for you to make sense of your emotions? I have experience working with people with depression and anxiety disorders, complex-PTSD and trauma. I focus on emotions with my clients and can help you get curious about the information your emotions are trying to communicate. I approach my work with a trauma lens, I am trained in EMDR and I am IFS-informed (Internal Family Systems or Parts work).

Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions or physical symptoms, such as hopelessness, pain, or panic? Does the thought of being present with your body feel uncomfortable or even scary? In my work, I help folks of all backgrounds find a sense of safety in their body after experiences of trauma, chronic pain, and body-based oppression (transphobia, anti-fat bias, ableism, racism, etc.). We’ll work together to understand and befriend your nervous system and build upon experiences of safety and connection to promote healing and emotional well-being.

I offer both in-person and Telehealth therapy. I would love to work with you! Life and humanity has more than its fair share of challenges. There are good reasons for your struggles, and you are not alone. Whatever it is you would like to change or work on, there is HOPE!

EMDR trained Clinician. I treat PTSD in addition to other struggles. All of us face difficulties from time to time. You are not alone. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships or trauma? Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts or feelings? Does your mind never seem to stop? Do you have trouble finding motivation? Imagine what it would feel like to have greater peace, confidence, happiness and live a meaningful life. Together, we can develop a plan to help you feel better and reach your goals. Sometimes these struggles lead to a great awakening.

My goal is to be able to provide mental health care to all! I am creating social media resources accessible to all to use for support in their life. You can begin your learning and healing if you look up Trauma Life Consulting on Facebook and Instagram. I also have a resource page in which then you can view more information and also be able to have interactive resources available to you at a rate you could never find therapy for! Go to the Patreon.com and look me up at Jenn Sluga-Trauma Life Consulting. Lets work together to spread mental health and share resources more freely! Mental health care for ALL!

I welcome clients who want to transform difficult personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for richer, more fulfilling lives. Grief, due to death, break-up, estrangement and unresolved anger can be resolved with guidance and support. My professional training, scores of years in practice, and spiritual grounding combine to offer guidance and healing . Specific skills in mindfulness and meditation add depth to our work together.
