Emotionally Focused Therapists in Fitchburg, WI

​Hi, my name is Gabi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for Wisconsin. I am also licensed for Telehealth therapy for the State of Iowa. I hope to join you on your current journey! I understand it can be intimidating to search for a therapist. I have extensive experience working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/self-worth, career unease or dissatisfaction, perfectionism, relationship conflict, breakups, family conflict, life transitions, and emerging adulthood. I have served a multitude of clients in marginalized communities, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and low-income communities.

I understand that starting therapy can be a scary process. I work to create an open and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through my door. It is important to feel like you have a "good fit" with your therapist, which is why I take the time to listen to what brings you in, hear your personal goals and explain what you can expect from therapy. It's not my job to judge, blame, or take sides. I will work with you to provide applicable tools and resources, identify your personal strengths and offer new ways of communicating to provide relief.

Life transitions and relationships can be both beautiful and difficult. Everyone deserves a safe space to share and explore their thoughts and feelings. Often through reflection, when we allow ourselves to slow down and notice what we are experiencing in the moment, true self discovery and capacity from within can be found and cultivated. With compassion and openness I walk along side my clients as they work towards relief and resolution. I utilize a blend of traditional therapy approaches along with experiential modalities such as Brainspotting, Mindfulness exercises, and Guided Visualizations to tailor the therapeutic experience.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a MS. Degree in Counseling Psychology and a master’s level Gerontology Certification. I have a variety of clinical experiences consisting of working with teens, adults, and LBGTQT+ clients experiencing mental health symptoms and life challenges. I have worked with a variety of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, bereavement, compassion fatigue, adjustment disorders, depression, concerns associated with self-identity and family/relationship issues.

Do you feel like your life is passing you by without any direction? Are you unsure if your relationship will last because of all the fighting? Do you struggle with communicating with your family? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? I believe that relationships are the center of our lives and when we are accepting and compassionate to ourselves we can bring our best to our relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families, who may be struggling through anxiety, depression and grief.

Our mission, at Abegglen Counseling, is to bring caring, compassionate, culturally responsive counseling to all, regardless of race, gender, and income. ​ The providers at Abegglen Counseling understand that making the choice to see a therapist is not always easy so we work hard to ensure every client feels safe, supported, and validated when they are working with us. Abegglen Counseling vows to make each client's unique change process more manageable by offering high quality mental health counseling that supports healing, assists in change and encourages growth.

Anxiety is a b!tch - the heart racing, chest tightening, skin crawling, keeps you up all night kind. If you grew up in an emotionally or physically unsafe environment, been in inconsistent and unstable relationships, and live on edge with the fear of never reaching enoughness, then you get it. You find yourself being on guard, overachieving, people pleasing, and quieting your voice as a means to survive with the least amount of damage. You minimize your experiences and often say “I’m fine” when really you are living in your own personal hell and trauma is the prison keeper.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, School Counselor and 200hr Registered Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher. I am also a Yoga Therapist and Developmental & Relational Trauma Therapist (DARTT) in training. I use a holistic counseling approach which allows me to gear supports to each individual's specific needs. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic/body-centered therapies, trauma informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, yoga therapy and mindfulness techniques.

Are you looking for something different when it comes to therapy? I believe therapy can be more relaxed & not always serious & "stuffy". My goal is for you to have an experience of comfort and encouragement while also working through difficult situations and feelings. We talk about your concerns but also about your strengths & looking at things from different perspectives. During these conversations, we can laugh about some things, have a cup of coffee/tea together and color a picture. I work hard to provide a positive, accepting and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to talk about your reality and truth.

My ideal client is someone coping with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and/or substance abuse. I specialize in Behavioral Activation - an evidenced based intervention for treating mood disorders and moving clients toward their goals. I also enjoy working with couples and families to help them communicate better and resolve interpersonal conflicts in a healthy way. I have been passionate about systemic couple and family therapy since becoming a therapist in 2019. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich marital/premarital counselor and trained in the Gottman Method of couples therapy, with good outcomes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to feel better? Individual therapy can help you reduce painful emotions, learn to recognize and change unhealthy behaviors, and improve your relationships. My name is Jaime Voss and I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Fortitude Psychology, LLC in Madison, WI. I provide psychotherapy services to individuals who are ready to make significant changes in their lives. I believe people are incredibly resilient in the face of adversity. My goal is to help you grow and thrive as you create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Are you dealing with concerns about family building, infertility, postpartum depression or anxiety? Are you struggling with a difficult life transition, communicating with your partner, or issues with work-life balance? Do you feel you need extra support and reassurance? Therapy can provide an outside perspective and teach skills necessary to help you create the kind of life you are looking for. Change is possible and sustainable. I have over 18 years experience with helping individuals and couples in a number of areas.

My clients are adults and couples who are looking to take steps toward understanding themselves and their relationships in a deeper capacity. I specialize in trauma therapy and couples therapy, and in both areas, I work to support my clients in uncovering protective patterns that have begun to hold them back.

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 feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burned out, struggling with your mental health, and substance use due to life transitions, relationships, peer relationships, school, parenting/co-parenting struggles, divorce, traumatic experiences, abuse, balancing work and personal life, and other stress-triggering events? I offer online and in-office therapy sessions working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a holistic approach to helping clients. Taking New CLIENTS, no waitlist.

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).

I seek to create a safe, warm, and trusting therapeutic space where clients of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, and socioeconomic statuses feel supported and heard. I am especially interested in working with trauma, dissociative tendencies, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ populations, identity exploration, attachment, feelings of stuck-ness, and more!

Are you a parent that is worried about your kid? Do you feel just as stuck as they are and unsure where to go or what to do? This is COMMON, and you are not alone. With 13+ years of experience working with children/adolescents and families, I can assure you that THINGS CAN GET BETTER! Whether you have a child that is struggling behaviorally or a teen that is struggling with anxiety/depression and shutting you out, I can help. I balance supporting the individual, while also strengthening relationships among family members.

Currently accepting new clients with little to no waitlist. I have a strong focus on adult ADHD, burnout, perfectionism and dealing with a loud inner critic. The "vibe" would be warm and understanding, with a touch of humor and millennial burnout. Whether it is looking to the past for understanding, finding ways to connect to the present, or cultivating hope for the future, I make sure to provide an authentic, warm and supportive space for clients to improve their connection to themselves and the world around them. I consider myself an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergent friendly.
