Anxiety Therapists in Onalaska, WI

Dr. Teale is a licensed clinical psychologist who received her PhD from Florida State University in 2010. She served in the United States Air Force from 2009 to 2016 and then practiced at the Tomah VA Medical Center from 2016 to 2020. She is primarily a cognitive-behavioral therapist. That is, she believes the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world can greatly impact our emotional well-being. Adjusting our views of self, others, and the world can often result in a healthier outlook and improved self-esteem and relationships with others.

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.

In our therapy I'll provide you with the support and guidance you need, bringing a spiritual perspective, giving you an understanding of how your past affects your present.

Are you a woman who feels like she’s lost herself in motherhood or her relationships? Maybe you are noticing patterns in the way you show up or communicate with your partner, or perhaps becoming a mom simply doesn’t look or feel the way you expected it to. You may notice yourself becoming more irritated or frustrated than you’re used to, arguing more with the people close to you, or pulling away or withdrawing completely. There are so many responsibilities on your plate; you may have a tendency to put everyone else’s needs before your own...causing you to only feel more depleted, drained, and exhausted at the end of each day.

I am dedicated to providing a safe, confidential, respectful atmosphere that progresses into open communication and self exploration in order to better understand thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I believe that by accessing our strengths we are better able to explore problems and implement strategies that will help live our lives to the fullest. In order to do so I utilize techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychotherapy (talk-therapy), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to personalize therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with in order to promote lasting therapeutic change and symptom relief.

I cannot think of a single person who hasn't hit a bump in the road of life. We all have this happen- you know, times when we go a bit off track. Maybe, it is difficulty at home or couples constantly arguing. Maybe parents and children are not getting along.

I am here to help.

I have experience working in a variety of clinical settings treating both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously or separately.
