Quartz Therapists in La Crosse, WI

I am not accepting new clients until September as new openings are limited. No evening hours open. I've been helping clients find their way through these feelings for the last 11 years. I can help clients learn about and use effective coping skills in order to gain a better understanding of themselves and work on becoming happy, healthy, and strong individuals. Sometimes people are just looking for someone to talk to and I am hear to listen, guide, and help you achieve your best life. I work with everyone to come up with a treatment plan that best suits their individual needs. Let's set up a plan together that we can work through.

I have experience working with children and families struggling with a broad range of behavioral, mental health, and relationship concerns. My areas of specialty include trauma, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence. I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. The theory of counseling I adhere to is referred to as Adlerian. This theory posits that individuals are creative, goal-directed, and socially embedded beings who strive for belonging and significance.

As an Air Force Veteran, I understand the hesitancies of seeking help of any kind but especially for mental health. After bearing witness to some of the most difficult life changing circumstances imaginable, and through my own journey of self-discovery and acceptance, I ventured towards becoming a therapist in the pursuit of helping others become the best versions of themselves. Always encouraging, I value the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and individual responsibility, focusing on the positives in one’s life and not pathology. Life is a "crazy" ride and things can get messy...I am not afraid to join you on that ride.

A Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years in the behavioral and mental health field, I have experience providing behavior modification and mental health therapy services in a variety of settings including day treatment and residential treatment programs for at-risk youth, a non-profit community agency serving individuals with physical disabilities, and an outpatient mental health clinic serving children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to experience working with a diverse population of clients due to my work in various parts of the state including La Crosse, Green Bay, Janesville, Beloit, and Madison.

I have a great deal of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and health issues. I also enjoy working with college students.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with teens, adults, and couples of all kinds looking to break the unhealthy cycles that cause us to get stuck. I think therapy should be a space for all to heal from the past and learn new tools to live a brighter and more fulfilled life. I will not pretend to know what is best for you, however, I will offer my opinion and challenge you as we work together to find ways to tackle life’s hurdles. I am warm, empathetic, and value the work you put into being your best. I strive to make therapy a personalized experience that you feel is helpful and not just a quick fix.

I offer effective counseling in a private setting. I specialize in Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy for eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also offer online therapy through a secure telemedicine website. As a therapist I will work collaboratively with the client to heal psychological wounds, acquire new skills, and find solutions to problems.

I offer a compassionate, open and supportive environment to help you create the life you want to live. Your goals and personal journey guide the sessions. My specialty is couple relationships, with an emphasis on healthy and helpful communication. I also work with both adolescents and adults in the treatment of anxiety, depression and anger management. I use both solution focused and mindfulness approaches to assist you in resolving the challenges you are facing. I also help families at all stages of life improve their family interactions and communication, and create a fulfilling loving family life.

Life is full of surprises. Unexpected situations occur that impact the ways in which we cope with the world and our circumstances. Handling these issues over and over can leave us feeling exhausted, frustrated, out-of-control and saddened. When things just don’t feel right, it is time to reach out and ask for help. You don’t have to face your challenges alone. I’m a big fan of helping you find your voice and live the life you love. I want to help you find your power and purpose so you can navigate life like a boss!

Alyssa's goal is to provide access to mental health services for mothers, fathers, parents, adolescents, and families. She has been blessed with many opportunities to expand her knowledge and skills. She has provided direct care to individuals facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, family relational stress, adjustment disorders, perinatal and postpartum, problematic sexual behaviors in children/adolescents, bereavement, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Veterans, and the Amish community.

ONLINE THERAPY. 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.
