I have worked with individuals, parents, and children extensively since 2010 and would love to help you reconnect with life in a more meaningful way.
Has your life become unmanageable or lacking in joy? Sometimes we become overwhelmed and stretched too thin due to all of our obligations like work, family, relationships, etc. Sometimes it is an event that tips the scales and other times it is just the build-up of our every day stressors. Either way, it is time to put things back into perspective and find the happiness that you deserve.

Mary Aprill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAC, SEP
Verona, WI 53593
Therapy is a safe space to help you foster a deeper connection to your authentic self. Many experiences in life can leave us feeling disoriented – grief, trauma, the stressors of everyday life. When we feel disconnected, we can experience anxiety, depression, and loss of connection in our relationships. It can become difficult to feel present in our daily lives. I want to help you reclaim capacity for a centered, vibrant life. When we reconnect to our authentic, embodied selves, we gain clarity, deeper satisfaction in relationships, and learn to be present in both the storm and the stillness.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verona, WI 53593
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of what you need. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out. Sometimes, you just know that something isn’t feeling right and you want some support sorting through it. I’m Angie, a licensed therapist who works with adults in Wisconsin and North Carolina. I keep my caseload intentionally small so I can really get to know the people I work with and provide thoughtful, individualized care.

Do you feel guilty for how much rest you need. You are doing three jobs at once: mourning, masking, and managing feelings. Whether you are navigating the sensory overwhelm of neurodivergence, the heaviness of grief, or an identity shift that has left you feeling untethered, you deserve more than just a place to vent. You want to stop white-knuckling your way through the day and finally feel settled in your own skin. We’ll move past the old patterns and survival habits so you can be more present, and self-led. Therapy is soul maintenance, the act of turning off the performance of being okay, a total system recalibration.

Are you feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, postpartum changes, or the stress of life transitions? Do you sometimes question your worth, struggle in relationships, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? It’s natural to long for relief and to want to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful about the future. You don’t need perfection—you need perspective, healing, and tools to bring balance and resilience into your life. If this sounds familiar, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in the process.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
