Therapists Beginning With B in Wisconsin

I view therapy as a powerful tool for anyone seeking to enhance their overall well-being. My specialties span a wide spectrum of life's challenges, from improving self-esteem and managing anxiety to navigating the complexities of parenting, relationships, health issues, and coping with grief and loss. Remember, you are not alone in your journey. We will work together to explore your concerns, uncover your strengths, and develop tailored strategies for positive change.

I get so much fulfillment and pride in being a therapist, and I strive to bring that passion into my practice. I aim to build your teenager or child's narrative of therapy as one that is as empowering as possible for them to feel capable in tackling their personal challenges. Together, your child and I will promote their self wellness as something that is not a chore, but a priority.

Would you like to feel more inner peace and joy, and be freer to live the life you truly desire? Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed out and stuck in situations or relationships that make you feel frustrated or even hopeless? Or maybe you have tried traditional approaches, but they didn't feel like a good fit for you. My wholistic approach to healing and growth using a unique combination of experiential methods helps you understand what patterns might be keeping you stuck and in pain, and gives you the tools you need to find relief and step into new levels of love for yourself and your life, fulfillment, and happiness.

It takes courage to think & act in our own best interest. My hope is that our work together carves 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.

Welcome! I am an individual therapist with experience working with kids, teens, and young adults. I strongly believe that connection is at the heart of the therapeutic process. Through fostering a genuine and trusting relationship, I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their challenges, emotions, and desires. I am here to listen and understand, offering empathy and support. By building a strong therapeutic alliance, we can work together towards positive change and personal growth.

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.

If you’re in a moment of transition; experiencing anger, anxiety, grief, depression, then I want to connect with you. I see my role as to provide an accepting, warm and nurturing environment where you can comfortably express your feelings. I believe that no emotion is wrong but there are healthy and helpful ways to process them that we can access together. My therapeutic approach is direct and unique to each individual I work with. No two people are alike and your treatment shouldn't be either.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and non-pathologizing. Clients often find me because of my experience as a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist or Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I use experiential models that take us beyond traditional talk therapy by slowing down, connecting with what is happening on the inside, offer healing to the wounded parts, and connecting with inner resources. Client’s often report an increase sense of self-compassion, calmness, clarity & confidence in themselves.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

The process of therapy requires the unmasking of socially condoned violence done to individuals. In therapy, the uncovering process requires digging through layers of neglect and indifference, contempt and ridicule, shame and humiliation, criticism and guilt, exploitation and manipulation. Almost without exception, each breakthrough involves breakage and releases costly feelings of outrage, hatred, and pain. The reparative process calls for understanding, acceptance, and support, along with a ritualistic observance of the symbolic meanings of the events which come to light.

Welcome to my new online practice, Balanced Mindset, LLC. I received my Masters from the University of Arkansas Little Rock and I have been practicing for 10 years. I'm licensed in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Florida. I help adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I also help others struggling with anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns and other concerns as needed.

What I hear from kiddos: "I feel alone, worried, anxious, and overwhelmed." Navigating mental health in a way that is non-judgmental and relatable is a big deal. How do they find "their" tools to navigate their present circumstances? School, family, work, social and self-discovery can all present with new challenges and transitions. How do you figure it all out?

Do you struggle with anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem? I am glad you are here, and I’m here to help. You are making an important, often very difficult step in deciding to work towards a more balanced life. My specialty is the treatment of emotion regulation problems, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and impulse control disorders. I have a passion for working with individuals who have anxiety disorders, and my goal is to better understand and improve the lives of those I am working with.

I help clients who struggle with burnout, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship challenges, parenting issues, and body image concerns. I am passionate about viewing my clients holistically, in the context of broader family and social systems, culture, and society.

Therapy is about change and hope. Come looking for a space to unload the weights on your world, which might be grief, loss, pain, trauma, confusion, fear, hurt.... but eventually we will grasp onto a lifeline of hope to begin to move toward a position that leads you out from being overwhelmed or consumed by those weights that you have been carrying. Therapy moves at a different pace for each person and care and compassion will be given to meet everyone's individual needs.

I am passionate about the work that I do: helping others enhance their lives in meaningful and lasting ways. You might feel stuck--maybe exhausted--from a struggle with anxiety, stress, and/or depression, leading to a less fulfilling and smaller world around you. Many of us never learned what to do with emotionally or physically distressing experiences; in fact, we're often told to "get over it", "don't worry," or "just do it," which is rarely helpful. It is possible, however, that despite your best efforts, the ways that you are reacting to painful thoughts, emotions, or sensations could actually be increasing your suffering.

Many of us go through a process of hoping for change, personal growth or, perhaps, acceptance within ourselves. I'm here to walk that journey with you and help you reach realistic goals to positively impact your daily life. I believe that establishing rapport between a client and therapist is the foundation in providing the best outcome for change. You'll find that my therapeutic approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and transparent with a bit of light-heartedness. I work with a wide variety of clients with specialty populations that include healthcare workers, first responders, sexual assault survivors, and couples.

As an LPC, I value the healing potential of human connection and believe that sharing moments of loss, shame, joy, and disappointment can lead to stronger self-acceptance and connection with others. My priority is to provide a comfortable and safe space for you to talk about your personal issues and concerns. I am non-judgmental, patient, and understanding. I have 9+ years of experience working with neurodivergent individuals, those who experience ADHD, attachment wounds, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma, grief and loss, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors.
