Is your child stressful? Do they get anxious more than their friends? Is your child or teen down & unmotivated? Is your family adjusting to adoption or foster care, or maybe a recent death or divorce in the family? Are you a young adult who isn't sure about what next steps are or maybe life is just really hard? If any part of these questions resonated with you, please reach out. Clients describe me as down to earth, easy to talk to, works well in crisis situations, & is non-judgmental. In my free time you can find me by Lake Michigan with a cup of coffee, on a walk with my family, finding new houseplants, or gardening outside.

Does being in love mean being in pain? Are you and your significant other having a hard time communicating or getting your needs met? Are you confused, anxious, sad or angry?

Are you questioning your family of origin and feel you have issues from the past that are unresolved? Are you grieving the loss of someone?

Through therapy I strive to empower clients to feel safe to open up and work through whatever issues they may be struggling with. I work to understand where clients are coming from and provide the extra support they need. I have a passion for working with a diverse range of clients from elementary school aged children all the way to adults with various presenting concerns. I believe in considering issues from a holistic perspective to inspire positive change.

If you are feeling burned out, anxious, stuck, or just ready to make some changes in your life, but not sure how, therapy can help. Together, we can figure out what might be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and able to love yourself. As an experienced therapist, I will work with you to achieve your goals and restore a sense of joy in life.

I have over 20 years of experience in working with children, adolescents (and their families) with behavioral challenges in the Treatment Foster System and private practice. I believe that a systemic approach to healing provides the most lasting benefits to the entire family. I also use a client centered approach to promote self-acceptance, improve self-esteem and increase confidence in relationships through positive communication skills. I believe in taking a collaborative approach with clients and using their strengths to encourage change and overcome difficulties.

Hello, I am Deborah Thoennes. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am passionate about helping others to experience faith, hope, and joy in their lives. We are human, and knowing what is and isn't in our control is empowering.

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.

I have availability within one week for scheduling. Are you feeling unhappy or overwhelmed with yourself and your life? Do you wish that you felt more in control and empowered during your day? I specialize in working with anyone who is seeking peace with food and their body, including eating disorders, poor body image, or feeling a loss of control over food or your body. I am also drawn to help those who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and those who want to find joy and meaning in their life.

You’re at your limit. No, you’re PAST your limit. You’re running on empty. You feel like you’re totally just breaking. You don't really have time for therapy, but things just aren't getting better. Maybe no one seems to understand how you feel. Things are really REALLY freaking hard right now. But they don’t have to stay that way any longer. Is therapy hard? YUP, for sure. But not as hard as continuing to live with the way things are now. You’re been suffering for too long. You deserve to heal and be well. You deserve to leave this behind you and enjoy your life. You deserve to feel like YOU.

Hi, my name is Loria Boone. I am a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience in behavioral health. I am intensively trained in dialectical behavioral therapy. This is an evidence-based practice used to treat an array of concerns including borderline personality disorder, self-harm, interpersonal issues, and difficulty coping with life stressors. I approach therapy collaboratively. My clients are the experts in their own lives. I use dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to increase mindfulness, build insight, and teach skills.

I am a master's trained psychotherapist who believes in the power and importance of interpersonal relationships and the empowerment of the self. I bring a challenging, yet empathic, supportive, engaging and safe approach to psychotherapy. If you are seeking to alleviate emotional distress, make behavior changes or seeking greater self understanding/exploration, feel free to contact me. I realize that engaging in psychotherapy often requires a significant commitment of your time and resources. Due to this, I have office hours that can accomodate most scheduling needs. I also accept private insurance and self payment agreements can also be arranged.

Sometimes the way you relate to yourself and others no longer aligns with who you truly are, your values or how you envisioned your life. You may feel disconnected from yourself and others. You may feel anxious or misunderstood, and start to question your worth or love. To cope, you wear a mask to hide parts of yourself, which creates feelings of tension within yourself and with others. What if you lived your life according to your values while accepting and expressing your genuine self? I create a judgement free, safe therapeutic space where you can explore, understand and find your authentic self.

Anxiety and depression take control of you every morning before you can even hit the snooze on your alarm. Getting the kids ready for school and taking the dog for a walk have become herculean tasks – to say nothing of your work day and connecting with your partner. You manage through the day; dinner gets cooked and homework gets checked, but you think, “This is not how I am meant to live my life - continually wanting and wishing for more.” Not knowing a way through this just adds to the overwhelm and worry. You take a breath and wonder, “How did I even get here? How do I get out of this funk? Is it even possible to get out?”

Sometimes life gets hard and we just want someone to listen and help guide us through in the healthiest and safest way possible. I am a psychotherapist who has done just that for many clients in the 15 plus years I have been in practice. My first priority is to help you feel safe and comfortable in working with me. I am an eclectic therapist that uses different techniques and modalities because I believe every client’s needs are individualized. I am a laid-back therapist that can bring humor into session when appropriate but I am also able to be direct in what I see and what I feel the best treatment needs are.

I have worked primarily with adults, older adults, and adolescents on issues of mental health that may be impacting one's ability to function in day-to-day life such as: depression, anxiety, other mood and thought disorders, suicidality (for individuals as well as those bereaved from suicide losses), interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+ support, topics surrounding race and culture, hoarding (both individuals affected and their loved ones), criminal justice system-involvement, and trauma (individual, intergenerational, and community).
