In Person Therapists in Waunakee, WI

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 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?
