Anxiety Therapists in Mauston, WI

Hello! My name is Grace and I am licensed in the state of Wisconsin as an LPC.

I treat a host of diagnoses, including anxiety and depressive disorders, and disorders associated with trauma. I have additional training in treating eating disorders and substance use disorders.

Are you feeling lost, questioning what's important in your life, and struggling to move forward? It's okay, you're not alone. Seeking help from a therapist can be a great step towards finding compassion for yourself and improving your mental health. And I'm here for you. Whether you've been to counseling before or this is your first time, we'll work together to create a unique and tailored space that meets your needs. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to healing and achieving your goals.

If you find yourself trapped in a cycle of stress, grief, burnout, or anxiety, therapy can provide a safe place to untangle and process your feelings. Maybe you are struggling to connect authentically with others, or maybe you're hoping to find a deeper sense of purpose, balance, or alignment. Maybe you just need someone to talk to. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, families, and expanded relationship systems to improve communication, rebuild trust and intimacy, and foster resilience.

I work with clients in a wide variety of problem areas including sex and intimacy (either couples or individual therapy), anxiety and fear, weight and self-esteem, depression and bipolar, and trauma (sexual;combat), among others. My clients find me to be warm and caring, with a tendency to bring in humor. We work together to create achievable goals and take active steps to reach them. I can see clients in person, or on a telemental health platform to eligible clients in Wisconsin.

Stop scrolling, take a breath, you've got this! You may be thinking "how will I know if therapy is a good fit for me?" Therapy is not a one-size-fits all, in which I strive to provide a space that is uniquely tailored to YOU and your specific therapeutic goals. The clients I work with are looking to go beyond and explore the "depths" of problems/challenges they face as well as gain a better understanding of what makes them who they are. I connect best with clients ages 12+ looking to heal from challenges with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, life transitions and loss of self/identity.

Change and challenges are a constant in life. Chronic anxiety, grief, loneliness, and sadness make it hard to identify or talk to others about our needs. Therapy can decrease our sense of isolation by normalizing life's challenges while providing opportunities for growth. These experiences begin the healing process that allows us to open ourselves up to new ways of being and experiencing the world around us.
