Therapists in Waunakee, WI

No matter who you are, or what you’re facing, you deserve a life worth living. I am here to help you break through the pain, anxiety, depression, and roadblocks holding you back from the life, and the relationships, you want and deserve. Are you living with unspoken pain from past trauma? Struggling with family or relationship conflicts that are never resolved? At the pinnacle of your career, yet drowning in workplace stress leading to anxiety, depression or substance use? Experiencing pandemic-related stress bubbling to the surface? If so, let’s talk.

I have a dual PhD in Clinical and Biological-Health Psychology and work with clients struggling with mental health or medical conditions, or both. Using science-backed strategies, we'll talk about your challenges, problem-solve, and identify solutions so you can feel better inside and out. You'll be able to calm your emotions, master your thoughts, regulate your body, and overcome obstacles with confidence. I bring over 10 years of experience to our work together. You'll experience non-judgmental compassion and expert support. Clients typically see improvement within 6 sessions. I'm licensed in WI and 30+ other states.

Therapy can offer more than just problem solving and emotional healing. Therapy is often about personal growth and self acceptance. As a licensed professional counselor, I can help guide you in developing the life you want and deserve. People are often fearful about entering therapy. I offer a safe, supportive and collaborative space to allow you to truly look inward. I use empathy, compassion, accountability and humor to help you reach your goals.

My areas of interest include trauma, grief, anxiety, stress management, parenting, depression, divorce, attention deficit disorder, and family related mental health issues. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR,) and Brain Spotting.

My goal is to be able to provide mental health care to all! I am creating social media resources accessible to all to use for support in their life. You can begin your learning and healing if you look up Trauma Life Consulting on Facebook and Instagram. I also have a resource page in which then you can view more information and also be able to have interactive resources available to you at a rate you could never find therapy for! Go to the Patreon.com and look me up at Jenn Sluga-Trauma Life Consulting. Lets work together to spread mental health and share resources more freely! Mental health care for ALL!

I love being a therapist and having the privilege of helping people heal, grow, and discover (or re-discover) their purpose in life. It takes tremendous courage to share with another person what you want to change about yourself. I feel that my role is to be a compassionate guide and facilitator to help you learn about yourself, your roots, your helpful and unhelpful personal habits and patterns with others. I use art, music, psychodrama, dreamwork, intuition and active listening to help you challenge yourself and become the sort of person you want to be in the world.

The number one thing that makes therapy work is the connection between client and therapist. I want to understand what's happening with you so that I can put my skills to good use and help you to meet your therapy goals. My methods are based on scientific research and on my professional experience as a therapist. Many of the techniques I use with clients are techniques that I have applied in my own life to reduce my own suffering and improve my own happiness. I practice much of what I preach, so I know firsthand that these methods work.

As a therapist, I am committed to a standard of excellence in my therapeutic, professional, and ethical responsibilities. Does AA or NA not appeal to you? My mission is to promote the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual wellness of my client on an individual level. I strive to provide clarification, encouragement, interpretation and information to facilitate you working toward your desired goals. I believe a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment can promote desired change, insight and personal growth.

My best work is in assisting my clients in a dynamic combination of Self Acceptance and Understanding. Utilizing techniques from psycho-dynamic, gestalt, mindfulness and body-mind therapies I lend direction in finding personal balance.

I want to help empower you to be your best self. Sometimes we reach a point in life where we feel stuck and we ask ourselves if healing is possible. As humans, we can struggle when we carry unresolved trauma or stress, which can cause us to hold onto negative beliefs. These beliefs impact the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. I want to help you heal and grow from your past experiences, so that you can feel empowered and able to trust yourself to reach your potential.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert on yourself; I am just here to walk side-by-side with you on the path towards however you envision your healing journey and your most optimal self. If your goals are to go deeper, explore patterns, process emotions, build empowerment, discover your strengths, and understand the "why," we will work well together. My personal goal for each client is to create an environment of unconditional positive regard - to allow you a safe space to process, grow, and feel seen.

You are the expert on your life and your own experiences. Together, we will create space for you to heal. Although at times you may feel broken, you aren’t in need of fixing; you are navigating systems that are unsatisfactory, which can leave anyone feeling fragmented. Support is the driving factor for change, and I aim to support you through whatever changes present themselves on your path to feeling whole. My clients begin to feel a sense of wholeness that comes from accepting their thoughts and feelings as valid parts of a human experience. These moments of connection in therapy extend into relationships with others and yourself.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a plan with you that Awakens your Vitality.

Trauma is often complex. Given this, I know that it takes courage to think & act in our own best interest. My hope is that our work together lays a path for you to feel empowered to live unapologetically & with freedom to share your gifts. In sessions we will look at navigating your relationships & stress, befriending your emotions & inner parts, being present to your trauma-response behaviors, owning your power & aligning with your personal integrity. We may utilize upsets/triggers & experiences in relationships as fodder to choose peace of mind, joy & "appropriate" accountability.

I support adult couples of all varieties. Most of the couples I see have busy lives. They are smart and capable. They can usually figure things out themselves, but feel stuck about how to improve their relationship which doesn't feel good. Clients who have the greatest success in working with me have these things in common: 1. Courage to believe things can be better. 2. Readiness to embrace change. 3. Willingness to acknowledge their own part in the dynamics, and to learn new ways of being in relationship.
