Therapists in Wisconsin

Life can sometimes feel lonely and isolating, leaving you with the sensation that there's no one you can truly confide in. I'm Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin, and I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go through these challenges on your own. Through teletherapy, I provide a safe and comfortable space for individuals seeking support, specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, cluster B personality disorders, PTSD, and trauma. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Are you struggling with adjusting to change, coping with stress or navigating conflict? As a result, has this left you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Has shame, guilt or negative self-talk been impacting you? Do you need help creating boundaries with your partner, family, or friends? As a therapist, I believe in the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” My role is to help you explore areas of concern, develop coping skills, and gain insight about yourself. A primary focus of my practice is teaching self-compassion to help fill up your cup when life is feeling too difficult to navigate on your own.

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.

I will only be accepting virtual, private pay clients at this time as I will be going fully remote by December and taking parental leave in January 2024 for 8-12 weeks and returning virtually to start. I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and adjustment. LGBTQ+ adults struggling with issues related to their identity and sexuality are my ideal clients. I am also familiar and comfortable with working with those in traditional and non-traditional relationship types - monogamy, non-monogamy (ENM, Polyamory, Swinging), BDSM/Kink, blended families, etc.

My work as a clinical psychologist is based on my belief that good psychotherapy can be a powerfully transformative experience. While resolution of the symptoms or issues that brought you to treatment is undoubtedly important, I also provide for my clients the opportunity to work in a manner that promotes lasting change and a deeper understanding of themselves. To that end, I strive to assist my clients in developing a sense of well-being that extends to all areas of their lives. This also translates into my work with couples, where new insights, skills, and ways of relating can lead to more meaningful and rewarding relationships.

Have you tried other forms of therapy or don't have confidence that counseling is going to help you? Brainspotting (BSP) may be the type of treatment that will assist you. Developed initially for PTSD, it has been found to be extremely effective in helping people overcome performance issues whether they are at work, home, athletically, or relationaly related. Whether it is trauma or anxiety symptoms that are the root cause of your problem, BSP can help you move beyond the negative beliefs and mental barriers that stem from these symptoms, to a place of peace,confidence, and improved well being.

I have worked for over 20 years in inpatient mental health facilities and in the community serving individuals with a range of psychological issues and sexually problematic behaviors.

Therapy is for the client and the client's well-being with my role as the advocate and guide as we navigate through the presenting issues together. My therapeutic tools are offered to the client with empathy, compassion, and acceptance as a means of healing and understanding through this journey toward better living. My clinical experience and training is from an attachment and trauma informed perspective with many specific trainings.

Life can be overwhelming, especially as the weather turns colder and celebratory family gatherings highlight the season. As we struggle with stress, frustration and anxiety, we can become angry and depressed. Expressing thoughts and emotions can feel envigorating, especially when there is no judgment. Counseling can be empowering and the beginning to lifting some of the emotional weight we carry every day. With a slight shift in mentality, we might open gates to peace and happiness, despite everyday stress, or holiday and family stress. Coming to counseling is you fighting to feel happy, and I can help you.

I believe within each of us are the answers, solutions, and wisdom needed to address the challenges we face throughout the life cycle. It's normal to doubt our own ability to navigate these issues and find the path through them. My role as therapist with an individual, couple, or family, is to guide. The answers reside within the client/s. My job is to facilitate the person's effort to find what is already there.

I strive to put clients at ease with a warm, empathic, down-to-earth style. Clients with panic attacks, trauma histories, and social anxiety will especially feel at ease. Many people who come to see me also struggle with negative self-talk, perfectionism, or co-dependent people-pleasing. I love to help clients increase emotion regulation, more readily attune to their own needs, process core beliefs about self, and build an understanding of the relationship between one’s history and how they navigate the world in the present moment.
