Stress Therapists in Verona, WI

Are you experiencing an overload of anxiety or stress and can’t bare it any longer? Do you find yourself people-pleasing and neglecting to tend to your own needs? Are you overwhelmed by small things and overly critical of yourself? Do you struggle with your relationships and have trouble connecting with others? It’s difficult to feel so out of control like you’re constantly in survival mode. Together, we can work to reconnect with your emotional world, fully experience your authentic self, and use your resources to create fundamental change.

I am here to provide a harmonious approach to your therapy work. I will support you as you evaluate and grow in a variety of areas: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and relational. To that end, I have developed a counseling practice which considers and incorporates your strengths, assets and abilities when determining your treatment plan. You then there determine where and how we will go from there; and I will provide flexible support and guidance to help you on your healing journey. Let's get started.

Are you feeling like you're stuck in a rut? Maybe the holiday season isn't bringing you as much joy as you hoped, or perhaps you're feeling that you've lost yourself in trying to please those around you. Our relationships with ourselves and others have a direct impact on our overall mental health and wellbeing, and it's hard to feel like our best selves when we are overwhelmed and exhausted. These feelings are especially common this time of year - days are short, stress is high, and to do lists are long. If you're feeling burnt out and looking for a recharge, I'd love to help you work through this process.

Specialty practice around anxiety symptoms, including those associated with trauma/abuse. Everyone needs support, and sometimes we decide we need the compassionate support of a professional psychotherapist. In this safe, therapeutic, environment, I will help you to gently address challenging issues and gain insights to improve the overall quality of your life. You will be supported in connecting to your strengths, while exploring and practicing more effective and healthy ways of living. (Please contact me directly at my email address. I don’t currently work with insurance, but have a sliding scale which starts at $80 per session.)

Are you tired of feeling sad and anxious? Are you ready to live the life you want instead of the life you feel stuck in? Are you seeking support as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community? If you are looking for a therapist who balances a humorous, direct approach with warmth and individual support, I’ll be a good fit for helping you create change. I specialize in working with clients who are exploring gender identity, healing family conflict and transgenerational trauma, and helping neurodiverse individuals navigate a world designed for neurotypical people.

Traumatic and stressful experiences can range from childhood traumas to a single event like a car accident, the loss of a loved one, or a diagnosis of a chronic disease. Healing the emotional pain of past trauma begins with acknowledgement in a safe space. It is never easy but sharing your experiences, thoughts, and feelings can lead to relief, new perspectives on yourself, your relationships, your goals, and your zest for life. Our goal is to create that safe space for you to understand, process, and heal past trauma and stress so that you can truly live life in the present with self understanding, self acceptance and self care.

Providing virtual sessions throughout the entire state of WI, Elizabeth helps to promote coping with the stress and uncertainty of many life situations, including but not limited to hospitalization, illness/diagnosis, trauma, loss, and change. As a patient, you may want someone to share your reality with; as a parent you may want someone to brainstorm ways to communicate difficult subjects to kids/teens; as a caregiver/professional you may want to process. Elizabeth strives to create a confidential and judgement-free space where you will feel supported and know it's okay to bring your authentic self.

Imagine what it feels like to carry a heavy burden, years of living with the effects of grief, trauma, and pain, only for it to be gone in a single therapy session. This what I often see as with Accelerated Resolution Therapy. You can get to the root cause of your problems, jumpstart your success, and experience lasting change, symptom free.

No diagnosis needed to receive these mental health services.

Hello, I’m Laura, a licensed professional counselor and substance abuse therapist with over 20 years’ experience providing therapy for people struggling with life and relationship difficulties, addiction, mood disorders, and trauma. I am also a certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist providing ketamine-assisted therapy and integration sessions. My approach is collaborative, person-centered and strengths based. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgmental, safe and affirming of each unique person and identity.

I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential. I strongly believe in the human ability to heal, grow, and thrive, especially when provided with the right opportunities and resources. Clients typically come to me when they are feeling stuck, out of balance, and/or disconnected from their authentic self. Together, I work with clients to identify underlying sources of suffering, uncover hidden strengths, enhance internal resources, and release emotional burdens that have been impacting quality of life and preventing personal growth.

Over a decade of experience has shown me suffering has its roots in disconnection from self, others, and/or the natural world; often caused by trauma. This disconnection can show up as: difficulty knowing what you want; inability to name and express feelings; relationship discord with partners, friends, or coworkers; feeling lost and uninspired; lack of creativity and flexibility; existential crises; depression; or anxiety. By reconnecting and becoming more embodied, you will find more depth in your relationships, clarity in your thinking, and more skills and confidence to manage the inevitable struggles of life.

Many people struggle to cope with strong/uncomfortable emotions. Learning how to "regulate" emotions is a cornerstone of mental and emotional health. God created all of us as emotional beings who also use reason and logic, not the other way around. As children, our work is to learn how to recognize, validate and effectively use feelings as guides to ourselves, our relationships, behaviors, careers and so much more! If you weren't able to learn these skills, it's not too late! I work with children of all ages, from birth throughout the human lifespan, and help them to grow and thrive.

I am a licensed professional counselor and substance abuse counselor. I work primarily with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, and those who are seeking recovery from addiction. I believe that healing comes not just from knowledge and rational understanding, but from wisdom embodied within yourself.

You have made a courageous step towards achieving mental and emotional stability. The journey towards psychological wellness is a process, a maintenance. Similarly to weight loss and diabetes, mental and emotional health cannot be cured, but it be maintained successfully. I am a firm believer in the Biopsychosocial model of health and wellness. All parts of our being are inter-related from biological, psychological and social perspectives. If one area is unbalanced, the others follow suit.

Are you looking for an experienced and relatable therapist? I offer teletherapy to adults that is modern, accessible, and holistic. I have experience treating a variety of concerns and specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, burnout, brain-gut health issues, & women’s issues. I utilize a modern, integrative approach and blend modalities to individualize treatment to each client’s unique needs. Therapy provides possibilities for growth, acceptance and discovery. I aim to create a safe, therapeutic environment and foster a collaborative relationship that can give way to endless opportunities for clients to learn and heal.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

For 35 years, I've been honored to offer my clients an experience that combines expertise, collaboration, and creativity. Whether it is a new problem, an ongoing pattern, or an unexpected life crisis, your therapy is built on a trusting relationship to facilitate lasting change. I help clients have happier, more satisfying relationships, overcome depression and anxiety, manage worries about career, family, and friends. Some learn how to have a productive disagreement, how to show empathy, how to set boundaries, and how to ask for what they need. Others learn to take the steps forward while healing from painful events and trauma.

There are many reasons for seeking guidance and today, you have taken the first courageous step by looking for help. I invite you to take the next step and call 608-577-4222 for a NO COST “get acquainted” phone consult. Maybe your current coping strategies are not working, or you haven't healed from emotionally painful life experiences/trauma that are negatively impacting you today. Perhaps you want to improve your relationship and learn effective communication skills. Together we can work to find effective solutions and coping strategies that work for you. I am honored to partner with you on your journey to your best self.
