Therapists in Milwaukee County, WI

EMAIL IS BEST WAY TO REACH US. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU CARRY FORWARD HEALTH. If you are looking for more direction and ready to make active strides for a better quality of life, we can help. Different reasons bring people in for therapy which can be major life changes, frustrations with the same mistakes repeating, overall poor mood, quality of life, etc. It's normal to strive for goals and feel stuck and confused about what could be standing in the way. It's also a sign of strength to feel ready to look at matters for what they are and want to make the preparations to do what needs to be done to get there!

Do you find yourself stressed managing all that life throws your way? The worry, overwhelm, and panic feels never ending. The stress may be from external or internal pressure, a life transition, or the death of a loved one. On the outside you look like you have it all together but on the inside you're crumbling; not feeling like you. Living between these two worlds is exhausting and all you want is a moment of relief. In counseling we will work together to create lifelong change so that getting through the day is less exhausting and more energizing.

Are you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed? Seeing a therapist can be scary and takes courage. I use a Strength Based approach to deal with issues including anxiety, depression, health related issues, grief and loss, relationships, life transitions and parenting. By listening to you, reflecting and sharing information we will explore your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behaviors in a gentle, safe and understanding environment. I am passionate about helping you think "outside the box" with regard to your personal development to regain confidence and hope.

Choosing to begin therapy is a brave decision. My supportive and empathic nature will help you to navigate the struggles you may be facing in your family or other relationships, work, school, health or any other area of life, as well as develop solutions to unique and everyday problems. As a therapist, I utilize a collaborative and flexible approach to ensure you are an active part of the process. I believe that humor and lightheartedness are vital in our work together. I specialize in working with prenatal/postpartum mental health issues, mood/anxiety disorders, life transitions, and trauma.

I am a master's trained psychotherapist who believes in the power and importance of interpersonal relationships and the empowerment of the self. I bring a challenging, yet empathic, supportive, engaging and safe approach to psychotherapy. If you are seeking to alleviate emotional distress, make behavior changes or seeking greater self understanding/exploration, feel free to contact me. I realize that engaging in psychotherapy often requires a significant commitment of your time and resources. Due to this, I have office hours that can accomodate most scheduling needs. I also accept private insurance and self payment agreements can also be arranged.

I believe anyone can have the life they want. I specialize in an eclectic array of psychotherapies including trauma therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and addictions counseling. We will start with a thorough assessment and collaboratively create a treatment plan with your “ideal life” in mind. This includes treatment of psychological diagnoses, but also linkage to resources, coaching, family counseling, conflict resolution and EMDR, so that you receive well rounded, holistic treatment. I believe that you have the power to decide how the rest of your life goes. Anyone can make changes in order to heal old wounds.

Please contact via email - Trauma and early relationship patterns guide how we think and behave in the present. For this reason, trauma informed care and focus on attachment patterns has become an integral part of my practice. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to understand their therapy goals. My background and understanding of diverse cultural contexts (being a Muslim woman) helps me provide culturally sensitive care. My therapeutic style is direct and pragmatic, however, I can adapt it to fit client needs.

Welcome! The decision to reach out for support can be difficult or feel vulnerable. My initial goal is to help you feel comfortable by providing a nonjudgmental space and a place where you can feel validated and heard. As an experienced psychologist, I will work to understand your story, and together we develop a plan to address the goals that you have for improving your quality of life.

My goal in therapy is to offer a space for clients to feel understood and accepted and I believe the healing comes through connection. Building a collaborative, safe, and trusting therapeutic relationship is central to my approach as I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives and develop healthier relationships with others and themselves. I recognize that each of us gets lots of messages in this world and many of them are negative. I work to help people identify and overcome these negative messages by embracing their strengths to live a satisfying life.

Making the choice to engage in therapy is a good step in the right direction. It can often times make you feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. Do you find yourself struggling with connecting or maintaining healthy relationships or struggling with anxiety, depression, communication or life transitions? Perhaps you struggle with thinking about past experiences and how they may be impacting your life today.

Welcome! My name is Lori Marhefke. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Wisconsin. My approach to therapy is holistic and person-centered. I typically focus on anxiety, panic, grief, trauma, and shame. I work with a variety of clients. Most of my clients are facing very stressful life transitions related to work, school, or family. I am comfortable treating anxiety, panic, grief, trauma and shame.

My idea client would be someone who is at point in their life where they want to make some changes, but may be unsure of the process, and needs some guidance. No one has all the answers, but "Working together, we will create a better you!!"

Life's motion can feel intense and demanding, seeming to move at a pace beyond one's stride, resulting in chronic stress, increased anxiety and fear, and for some, chronic pain. Throughout this motion, maintaining relationships and self-care can feel challenging. Connecting with another human can be one of the safest ways to become grounded and encounter what is asking for acknowledgment and care. I believe the therapeutic relationship and environment has immense potential to provide a safe container for what is felt to be honored and explored, allowing any fear that arrives to be transformed into intentional forward movement.

Often we seek counseling when we have reached a breaking point, but as it is with medical care, we deserve to be treated for our mental health before a problem gets too big. As a counselor, I provide a relaxed, safe, and understanding environment. I work best with clients who value personal growth and healing and who are open to feedback, self-exploration, and psycho-education.

The team at Empath provides individual, couples, and family therapy in a warm, safe and supportive environment. We believe in identifying your strengths and feel it is important to focus on "what is working" rather than dwelling on all that is "wrong" in your life. We understand that therapy can be difficult and we will provide you with support, encouragement, insight, and guidance along the way.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the hardest and most important step in your mental health journey - finding a therapist that is right for YOU! I work with a multitude of people from different backgrounds and goals. However, the ones that I find I have the most successful relationships with are young adults in their 20s-30s dealing with transitions into emerging adulthood. We are constantly bombarded with the push to be perfect (supermom, money mindset, 75 hard etc.) But why run yourself into the ground when you can live by your values and be your most authentic self? I can help you along that journey!
