Serenity Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAC-IT, MS
Verified Verified
West Allis, WI 53227
Serenity is focused on bringing evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches into sessions with clients, and working with clients to find out what works best for them.
Client problems come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of different life experiences and reasons and needs. Problems are common in the world, and it is hard to shoulder the responsibilities set on our shoulders. It can feel lonely with the burden that people carry, and it seems reasonable to find ways to meet needs that are not being met. Sometimes these can be unhealthy habits that just cause more problems. Sometimes, it leads to a build up of pressure until everything is overwhelming and out of control. It disrupts our Serenity, and building this back up sometimes needs a helper.

Hello hello! I work either in-person w/nature in local parks or virtually via zoom! If we walk or sit together, we'll work following your lead with gentle nudges into the abyss (metaphorically, unless you enjoy muddy!), seeing through blinders, and remembering accomplishments. As for me? I'm a human reclaiming my humanity. I'm recovering from the dominating social order of straight, cis-white men steeped in racism, sexism, patriarchy, homophobia, colonialism, ableism and all the oppressions dreaming of an equitable and environmentally friendly society. (deeply & vaguely spiritual, not religious).

Mequon, WI 53097
Casey has been working with adults and adolescents over the past 7 years specifically working with individuals (Veterans) with PTSD, depression and substance abuse.
In this day and age, especially post pandemic, everyone could use additional support. Simply to feel heard and appreciated can be hard to find. Sometimes however, our issues can extend past those needs and this is why it can be helpful to have an impartial 3rd party who can help you explore all options and possible solutions. Setting realistic goals and working on small changes can potentially lead to big outcomes.
