Therapists in Fennimore, WI

Have you been feeling "stuck" in life? Do you find yourself repeating the same behaviors over and over again and expecting different outcomes? You probably feel exhausted, and I get it. When people begin to experience trauma or other life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to feel as if it is unravelling. My great passion is bringing healing and empowering to people who have been through stressful events, who have struggled with addiction, or who are looking for alternative ways to think.

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 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.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

If you want an individualized and unique way of therapy and you're ready to do the work, you've come to the right place. I have a passion for working with adolescents, adults, and veterans that suffer from all forms of trauma and PTSD. I have experience working with families and couples that struggle with communication and parenting, teens that struggle with life (who doesn't?), veterans that find reintegrating back into civilian life challenging, and women who often feel defeated or isolated within their family systems.

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? Parents, do you want to reconnect with your teenager? 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 exploring gender identity, family conflict and transgenerational trauma, and neurodiverse individuals.

We pride ourselves in providing a safe, inclusive environment for all communities including but not limited to LGBTQIA, body positive, BIPOC, and AAPI. We are ever evolving within our own professional community through self-reflection, ongoing education/training, etc.

Welcome! I believe psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. I also believe it is a collaborative relationship that is built on trust. My personal approach to therapy is individualized, interactive and direct. I rely on strong empathetic skills to help clients draw on internal resources to affect purposeful change. It is my belief that the answers lie within and that my job is to facilitate a safe environment and support the emergence of non-judgmental awareness, which enables change to come. My goal is to give you GOOD therapy! I want to help you heal the root of your issues, not just put on a band-aid.

Therapist seeks individuals who are ready to find themselves and their passion in life. Its difficult when we get stuck and do not know where to turn. Need someone to talk to? Or some guidance on situational issues? Relationship or communications with partners or family?

Michael Scott from The Office once said "Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There's such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown." As a therapist, I would agree with Michael and add that all feelings are right and good and meaningful but sometimes we can get stuck in negative thought patterns, relationship conflicts, painful feelings or avoidance strategies. We sometimes need help to create and develop new tools for handling those difficult thoughts or situations.

Hola! Have you been trying to do it all alone? And think the feelings, symptoms are getting worse or they seem to get a bit better as time goes on, but you feel that you need extra support? You're not alone, Lucero knows that issues that arise in life can often make us feel isolated, alone, defeated, anxious, fearful, depressed and empty. My private practice focuses on instilling hope and empowerment, which then fosters change.

Sliding fee scale available. Life is complicated, finding a safe space to express yourself doesn’t have to be. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where anyone can bring any issue, no matter how personal or intimate. As a systemic therapist, I strive to look at every facet of your life, how they can affect you and how we can leverage them to best achieve your personal therapy goals. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families in different environments, including telehealth.

I focus on helping clients strengthen meaningful relationships, establish a sense of meaning and purpose, and foster connection in their lives. I help clients move forward using practical solutions while also developing an understanding of the underlying issues that contribute to their struggles. Coming to therapy gives you a place where someone will listen without judging you and offer new ways of thinking about yourself and your problems, and I welcome the opportunity to help you create the life you want to be living.

My practice centers around building relationships and learning how to take care of ourselves and others. I find that people come to therapy hoping to find someone to tell them the answers, and my goal is to help people become of aware of the answers they already have: I am not the expert, you are. My practice is based in attachment theory and trauma recovery, helping people understand the physiological and developmental processes behind their behaviors, and guiding people towards lasting change while providing a caring and compassionate place to heal.

I believe each person can live their most effective and quality lives through active engagement in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered therapy to explore what they value, what motivates them, where their challenges are, and engaging in life more fully, to their fullest potential.
