Women's Issues Therapists in Wauwatosa, WI

Anyone who is at least moderately motivated :-), has some level of awareness that they need help. More specifically, their issues, needs, and goals could range from struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, relational conflict, grief/loss, overcoming the effects of past trauma, codependency, personal identity and purpose exploration, and the list goes on. They may not know what they want or why, perhaps, a change is needed or there is more potential available than they are accessing. I want to be one of the people to help walk with them through this process of self discovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in adult individual therapy exclusively at my private practice, Two Willows Counseling, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Among my areas of expertise are mood disorders, trauma and women's issues.

Are you depressed, anxious, or stuck? Do you struggle with self-esteem issues, weight or your relationship with food?Are you looking for a therapist who is caring, supportive and accepting? I am an experienced psychotherapist who works with adults ages 18-70. My areas of interest include depression/mood disorders, addictions, anxiety, emotional eating/weight loss, grief, self-esteem, and women's issues. I consider it an honor and a privilege to help empower clients to make positive changes in their lives.

I'm Gina! I'm a board certified Mental Health Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor. I love helping clients through issues like Depression, Anxiety, Addictions, Relationships, Women's Issues, Spirituality, LGBTQ, Mood Disorders and more. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to! I know it can be hard to ask for help but my goal is to make you feel comfortable and safe from your first call!

Do you feel there aren't enough hours in the day? Are you boggled down by the seemingly never-ending demands of work, home and lack of self-care? Balancing being a parent, friend, employee, partner leaving no room for being an individual? We often find ourselves depleted at the end of the day, and honestly, sometimes first thing in the morning! This can affect how we show up in life. Imagine waking to a feeling of peace instead of the overwhelming dread of an impossible to-do list that continues to grow and doesn't include you.

The team at Empath provides individual, couples, and family therapy in a warm, safe and supportive environment. We believe in identifying your strengths and feel it is important to focus on "what is working" rather than dwelling on all that is "wrong" in your life. We understand that therapy can be difficult and we will provide you with support, encouragement, insight, and guidance along the way.

Viewing therapy through the metaphor of a flower, I help clients plant seeds. Through intentional nurturing, the right environment and soil conditions, enough water, light and time, these seeds eventually flourish into beautiful blooms. I am both a board-certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor who works collaboratively with young adult and adult women who struggle with mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, poor body image, relationships issues, transitions, and general life concerns.

I seek to provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which clients feel the ability to engage in self-exploration while overcoming difficulties throughout their current stage of life.

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.

I specialize in working w/ women, moms & healthcare professionals. My clients often describe themselves as over-thinkers & high achievers who are feeling overwhelmed and burned out. I help my clients create better stress management, self-compassion and resilience skills- resulting in enhanced well-being in all of the roles they fill. Creating a life of greater contentment, connection, purpose and meaning is the ultimate goal of the work I do with my clients.

Life is full of stress on many different levels. From career, finances, relationships, family, friends. The list can keep going. Stress is often a culprit of stress and anxiety. It is time to step out of the life of stress to become the better you. I truly love working with clients, being a co-creator in the life they want. This means understanding the stress and learning to manage it. I have the experience and knowledge to get you where you are wanting to go. For you to learn about what holds you back, inspires you to move forward, and why you want this in the life you have been yearning for. You deserve to be the best you

Have you noticed a change in yourself or a loved one lately? It can happen to all of us. Worry, stress, negative thoughts and fear have a way of weighing us down and holding us back. But, you deserve more. In this ever-changing world it's important, now more than ever before, to understand what to pay attention to and what to let go of. However, with so much uncertainty surrounding us this can be a challenge. Let's talk. Together, through a proactive and strength-based approach, we will explore how you can regain the power and control needed to address and remove the mental barriers that are holding you back.

Does past or current trauma interfere with living your best life? Do you feel like others don't understand the impact your experiences have on your day to day life because there is a cultural, racial, or religious gaps? Are you looking for assistance supporting others in your life who have experienced trauma? Trauma can be defined by any event that was scary or stressful. It can be a solitary event or continuous over a period of time, and it is individual to the person experiencing it.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed ? Unsure of how to fix your relationship problems ? When leaving or ending a relationship seems like the only solution, you may need to find someone to help you work through this difficult time. When you decide to contact someone to help you sort through your issues, that can open the door to change and an opportunity to create a better future for yourself and the people you care about. It begins with self-discovery and the courage to look at ourselves and work to make changes. These changes will allow us to grow into our best selves and help us strengthen our relationships with others.

My approach to counseling is warm and accepting. I am here to help you feel stronger, more empowered, and more capable. I believe the success in this comes from us building a strong trusting relationship and approaching all issues from a compassionate and nonjudgemental stance.

Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot, but you’re not feeling the fulfillment you expected. Anxiety or a big life change – maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, parenthood, change in family dynamic or move – has highlighted that you’re still not living the fullest, most authentic life you want to be living. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself, your past and you’re ready to start living wholeheartedly and joyfully here and now.

Hey there, beautiful soul! Feeling like life's throwing too much your way lately? Take a deep breath, sis. You're not alone in this. I'm here to walk alongside you through those tough times, especially those unique to us women.

I empower individuals to better manage their lives by helping them identify and restructure boundaries within relationships, work, hobbies/interests, and other obligations. We achieve this through assertiveness, self compassion, and esteem/confidence building. Together, we’ll discover what’s been getting in the way of you being the best version of yourself.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, worry, stress, or self-doubt? Negative thoughts, comparisons, worst case scenarios, and "what ifs" are occupying your mind. You have difficulty saying "no" and setting boundaries. You aim for perfection and have that nagging feeling that you're just not good enough. It's painful to feel this way and it can feel like there's no way out, but the good news is: you are not alone and it's possible to find relief. Together, we can help you discover your ability to improve your self-worth, create healthy relationships with yourself and others, and gain control of the anxiety in your life.
