Adults Therapists in Ashland, WI

Hi there! I have years of experience working with people who have experienced trauma, substance use, and a variety of mental health conditions. I have a passion for working with teenagers, adolescents, and young adults . During our sessions together, I strive to create an environment where you will feel supported and can be your authentic self. I value a holistic approach to therapy and think it is important to nurture all aspects of an individual: mind, body, and spirit. My goal for each session is to empower you and work with you to create positive change.

Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker dual licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin with over 30 years of work experience in the medical and mental health fields. I strive to help clients develop healthy coping strategies to navigate life struggles. I have a direct but compassionate style, while providing a non-judgmental environment with a strength based and collaborative approach. I have experience helping clients through a wide range of mental health concerns including; depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief& loss, health anxiety and life transitions.

With over 14 years of experience as a Counselor, I have found the most effective way to do therapy is to help empower people to recognize the power and strength they have within themselves. There is hope and a way to get better. I will show you through psychoeducation, learning effective coping skills, and changing/interrupting your negative thought patterns. When you change the way you see yourself you can change your life in ways you never thought possible. Let me help you let go of the fear/negativity/anxiety or whatever is holding you back in your life.

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!

Never tried therapy before? Are you are feeling frustrated, notice that the same conflictual issues continue to arise, or that your life and relationships are satisfying except for that one thing? We are both licensed marriage and family therapists with additional credentialing in multiple areas to serve you better. Whether it's parent child relationship frustrations, communication difficulties, marital issues, infidelity, sexual problems, employment stressors, depression, anxiety, negative self image, chronic pain, PTSD, self injury or other personal matters, we are specialized to treat a wide variety of symptoms. Co-therapy with both therapists and online counseling is also available!

Therapy is about change and hope. Come looking for a space to unload the weights on your world, which might be grief, loss, pain, trauma, confusion, fear, hurt.... but eventually we will grasp onto a lifeline of hope to begin to move toward a position that leads you out from being overwhelmed or consumed by those weights that you have been carrying. Therapy moves at a different pace for each person and care and compassion will be given to meet everyone's individual needs.

If you or a family member are in need of someone to listen or you are going through issues that are difficult or you would like to make changes then give us a call. We offer professional, confidential and straight forward help for many areas of life concerns. I have many years of life experience as well as counseling experience.

Move from where you are now to where you want to be. Get unstuck. Gain insight into "why" questions, such as: "why do I do that?"; "why am I like this?"; "why do I feel this way?" Discover what you truly value and how to live a life aligned with your highest ideals. Therapy work can make all the difference.

I am a compassionate, caring, qualified therapist. Rather than just treating symptoms, I help clients get to the root cause of the problem. Then we work together to change habitual ways of thinking, feeling and behaving into more positive, healthful, life affirming patterns. I am a Clinically trained Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst and psychotherapist. I use this process because I am amazed at how good results are for clients. I love to see clients succeed and hypnosis makes change more effective and faster. I am currently getting a doctorate because I am committed to the most effective treatment possible.

Now accepting patients at my new Outpatient Mental Health Clinic in Phillips, Wi. I am a dual diagnosis therapist skilled in working with individuals experiencing mental health concerns, addiction/substance use disorders, or both. I am a consummate professional that has treated a variety of patients varying from age 6 and up. I hold the following credentials: Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor and Clinical Supervisor in Training.

Does the Past keep interfering with your Present? We’d all love to believe that what happened “back then” doesn’t have to affect us in the “here & now.” But trauma, a difficult childhood, deep loss—they all leave a mark. Painful experiences change how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and how we view the world. We want to move on but we're stuck. No matter how hard we try to push the pain back or down or away... it leaks back in and we find ourselves living in the same old pain with the same old problems: Stuck. Exhausted. Frustrated.

Individuals, Couples, Family or Groups that are Trauma survivors, or if you Have suffered Childhood Abuse, Sexual Assault, Abandonment, Role distortion, Substance Abuse. Anyone who wants to Heal. Anyone who is interested in self Identification and acceptance. Im here to be the light that helps guide you through out of that dark tunnel and into the light. I will use Encouragement, Motivation, Self Discovery, Acceptance and Validation to show you how powerful you are.

I am passionate about helping people find well-being despite the difficulties and trials life may throw at them. I believe this goal is best accomplished through a collaborative, strengths-based approach, using a systemic lens, and incorporating evidence-based approaches that show positive outcomes. I also welcome the opportunity to explore your spiritual strengths as a Christian therapist. My experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, adoption issues, OCD, chronic illness, PTSD/complex trauma, ASD, ADHD, grief/loss and parenting/marital issues.
