Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) – Level One, f.k.a. Aspergers, remains widely misunderstood, despite receiving greater focus nowadays. It often co-occurs with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), or some combination of the above. If you or a family member are struggling with traits of any of these, I can help.

I help my clients improve and accomplish positive, meaningful life change and become free from unwanted attitudes, behaviors or feelings. I consider it a privilege to coach and guide another person through mental health, life adjustment, relationship or family struggles. Therapy is a process of assisted growth and change. It often involves clearing out old and new difficulties while discovering, applying and practicing new approaches. I strive to build therapeutic relationships that are based on confidentiality and trust where my clients remain in charge of what occurs in every session as we work toward mutually defined goals.

Something’s not working — and you can feel it. Maybe it’s the constant anxiety. The racing thoughts at night. Or that quiet belief that you “should” be handling life better. Whatever the symptoms, one thing is clear: this isn’t sustainable. That gap between where you are now and the peace of mind you want? That’s where I come in. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, warm, and practical — grounded in evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and mindfulness.

Dr. Probst helps people to determine if they are on the autism spectrum, then provides counseling services himself or through excellent referrals to licensed counselors who are also neurodivergent. This makes all the difference. People who are not neurodivergent have difficulty helping those who are. With a range of over 80 counselors in the state for referral, we can make sure, if the evaluation shows a person is on the spectrum, that they can learn from and talk to a person who really understands them. Wisconsin and Iowa counselors came up with the primary questionnaire that we use through the Wisconsin Mental Health Alliance.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
