Behavioral Issues Therapists in Greenville, WI

Therapy can appear as an intimidating or daunting process. Jillian understands this and does her best to make each session a learning experience that is free from judgement and uses a bit of humor. She treats individuals, couples, and groups to relieve stress from an array of struggles: Anxiety, addiction, depression, life transitions, marital relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and more. Self-acceptance and ability to cope through life's struggles are realistic through the client-counselor relationship.

My outpatient practice specifically centers on patients who have Autism and one or more additional mental health diagnoses. Studies have shown that over 70% of individuals with Autism likely have at least one co-occurring mental health disorder. At times, the combination of Autism + behavior problems + any mental health disorder makes recovery a challenge. It is my hope that providing treatment for my patients and their families which is tailored to their specific diagnoses combination will help provide the knowledge and support needed for success.

I practice a strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy. I like to integrate aspects of the creative arts with psychotherapy techniques to create a holistic approach unique to each individual. I also have experience practicing cognitive behavioral approaches.

The hardest part about therapy is having to deal with those thoughts, feelings, and memories we've been pushing aside for so long. What makes it even harder, are our fears of being judged for who we are, what we've gone through, or how we've acted. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being your true self. I do this by showing you genuine compassion, empathy, and understanding as we work through the tougher stuff. As such, I work with children, teens, families, and adults whose social, academic/work, behavioral, physical, and/or emotional well-being has been negatively impacted by ongoing mental health struggles.

My purpose is to teach, guide, and support all those seeking to live up to their highest potential. My intentions as a psychotherapist are to help you understand, release, and heal the parts of "self" that are felt to be out of balance, stuck, and/or wounded. We have the innate ability to heal ourselves from past stories that no longer serve us in the present. This profound healing can transform your life to have more meaning and purpose. My area of strengths include treating trauma, secondary trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, performance issues, mood disorders, and/or other behavioral health issues hindering your quality of life.

I am welcoming new clients who are looking for help with life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, or traumatic experiences. I currently have the capacity to serve older teens and adults via telehealth using a wide range of evidenced-based techniques and approaches. Whether this is your first time in therapy or not I believe in equipping you with knowledge and tools to use throughout your life to overcome behavioral and emotional barriers. If you are unsure of your goals or ideal outcomes, we collaborate to outline what you hope to change, improve, and accomplish and use outcome metrics to measure progress.

Therapy can open the door to discovering a sense of purpose, cultivating resiliency, finding courage, and creating a richer and more pleasant experience of day to day life. My strengths are helping people to navigate grief, sadness, confusion, fear, uncertainty, addiction, a sense of being stuck, other unpleasant thoughts and emotions, creating healthy relationships, impulse control, and making important life decisions.

My goal as a therapist is to provide each person compassionate psychotherapy that leads to satisfying changes, restoring balance, and living a more meaningful life. Successful therapy takes transparency, commitment, personal accountability, and mutual respect. I will work to help you identify inherent strengths, heal past and present wounds, and generate change from within yourself. I provide a nonjudgmental space in which you can take an honest look at what is happening in their life as you grow and move forward.

As a psychotherapist, I love what I do. I am most passionate about empowering people to tap into their own innate and natural ability to heal and grow. My treatment philosophy is nonjudgmental, strength-based, and trauma informed. My therapeutic style is to help individuals find their inner gifts and challenge them in a compassionate and direct way. Every individual has their own personal journey that is unique to them all that is needed is a foundation of trust, respect, and equality for clients to heal.
