Teletherapy for Wisconsin

You are in some sort of pain and you seek relief, answers, direction, purpose...something more than you are getting right now. Let me know if you would like to meet. I would be happy to provide you with the space and help to do the work you need to do to get better. I have worked extensively with PTSD, anger management, anxiety, crisis intervention, depression, grief and loss, and couples and relationship issues. I will listen and emphasize a strengths-based approach. I have immediate openings available and I am accepting new patients. Book with me at my website: www.courageahead.org.

Are you a neurodivergent person or have a child/children needing help? Did you grow up with family members with mental illness? Relationship issues? Would you like to use an amazing modern technique called Brain Spotting to heal from your trauma? These all fall within my specialty, as does helping those with Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression. I meet people where they are and adapt to their needs. My patients range in age from 5 to 85, and describe me as kind, funny, and knowledgeable.

I work with clients in a wide variety of problem areas including sex and intimacy (either couples or individual therapy), anxiety and fear, weight and self-esteem, depression and bipolar, and trauma (sexual;combat), among others. My clients find me to be warm and caring, with a tendency to bring in humor. We work together to create achievable goals and take active steps to reach them. I can see clients in person, or on a telemental health platform to eligible clients in Wisconsin.

Together, we will navigate from where you are now to where you want to be. I'm here to help you achieve your dreams for yourself, or your child, teen, or family. As someone who has engaged in my own healing journey, I understand that the first step takes courage. Do you want a fuller, more vibrant life? Need help adjusting to change? Feel overwhelmed with trauma or grief? Know what you need to do and can't seem to do it? Struggle with depression or anxiety or both? Parents, do you need help for a child with issues related to learning, high-sensitivity, development, behavior, or health? Ask me about my caring, holistic approach.

Do worried thoughts consume your mind and make day-to-day difficult? Are your worries creating a ton of self- doubt and constantly holding you back from things you want to do? You know things can't continue on like this, but you feel stuck. I'm glad you're here! I specialize in treating late teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, over-thinking or people pleasing. I will work with you to create individualized goals that are unique to your needs. I will teach you the tools you need to get relief and feel whole again!

Have you found that talk therapy has not always met your needs? Working with the nervous system holistically through mindfulness, somatic experiencing, breathing exercises and other specialized tools offers us gentler and more effective means to heal. Therapy is a unique opportunity to be vulnerable and learn to experience a healthy relationship with a foundation of trust and compassionate experience. A diagnosis is not necessary, in my professional opinion, to work through the issues "in the tissues". It's about freeing the weight of the past & future anxieties, so you can feel calmer and enjoy life. (Telehealth also available.)

My name is Emily Stephenson and I enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. I bring a tailored approach to my clients and value my client's honesty and vulnerability in our sessions together. I find that vulnerability, although scary, is a key component to healing which I why I attempt to create a safe, inviting, and warm atmosphere in my therapy sessions. It is important to me that you feel as comfortable as you can during our time together so that we can move you closer toward your mental health goals.

At New Moon Therapy, I help motherless daughters manage feelings of unresolved grief such as: anxiety, anger, and fear in order to find meaning, peace and fulfillment in their lives. I believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to honor their grief, find strength in their vulnerability, and discover the resilience within herself. My mission is to provide compassionate and holistic care for grieving women with a particular focus on the unique experience of mother loss. Grounded in empathy and understanding, I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where women can explore their grief, find solace, and cultivate resilience.

Taking the first step in prioritizing yourself is scary. I'm here to help you through not only the first step, but every step after that. Self-care comes in many forms, & I am happy to be a part of this process with you to discover what is meaningful & beneficial for you to feel your best self. As a mental health professional, I have been blessed to learn & grow with each of my clients. The story & vulnerability each individual brings forward is what makes the process impactful. The willingness to let down one’s guard & be your true self can transform people.

I provide therapy services to adults in office, outdoor, and virtual settings. I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and dissociation or major life transitions. As an option, services can incorporate nature into the psychotherapy setting. Clients who seek services at Samara may have found office-based services to be ineffective or may be curious about trying out therapy in natural settings. Office-based sessions occur in an office located near a botanical garden and large park providing post therapy options. Regardless of your location of choice, Samara will support your journey.

Men often feel pressure to appear confident & have it ‘all together’, but inside feel like you’re not good enough. You could feel this way in your work, in your relationship, as a parent, or in your various life roles. You might be fed up with not living up to your expectations, feeling insecure or like you mess everything up. Maybe there was a time when you felt better, maybe you’ve always felt this way. One thing you do know is something has to change. You’re ready to challenge those negative feelings. You’re ready to feel lighter. Most importantly, you're ready to feel confident in yourself and your relationships again.

Therapy is a place for you to name areas of pain, a place to feel without judgment, and a place to reclaim what is yours. Shame is the source of so much of this pain and judgment, convincing you that you are broken. Shame is often so intertwined with sexuality because of the societal silence around the topic. Perhaps sex is painful, perhaps you are more aware of others desires than your own, perhaps you feel empty from running on fumes and enjoyment is the last thing on your mind. Whatever the reason, engaging your sexual health can help overall wellness, and ultimately be the way back into relationship with yourself!

My clients seek help for relationship issues that make them feel disconnected, lonely, angry, and powerless to make things change. I start by creating a space for each individual to feel safe and heard. Approaching in a nonjudgmental way, we collaborate to allow their strengths to lead the way out of their darkness and find new ways to accomplish what they want most in life.

Everyone has a time when they need support and struggle with asking for help. I know this from my own experience and interactions with others. When someone comes to me, I want to be sure that they know that I understand first the difficulty in deciding to ask for help and second that they feel safe enough to trust me with their story, thoughts, and emotions.

I believe that happiness and recovery are possible! Anxiety, depression, PTSD, partner conflict and family issues can make life hard and can make people feel stuck. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families to change their lives to have more fulfillment and contentment. I want my clients to not just survive but to thrive. The first step is having the courage to get help. Don't live a unfulfilled life when assistance is available to you. Happiness and hope are possible and it is my goal to assist people to live life to the fullest of their ability.

Donnie utilizes a solution-focused and client-centered approach that supports clients in setting and reaching personalized, obtainable goals that improve their overall wellbeing. He also draws on evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach clients coping skills and help them develop a better understanding of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With almost ten years of clinical practice, Donnie has abundant experience integrating these therapy modalities in a manner best suited to meet the needs of each client.

Everyone needs a safe place to vent, a place where you can unpack the thoughts inside of your mind without judgement or criticism. Stress can become overwhelming, often times it can become paralyzing. Life stressors can cause illness, anxiety, depression and despair. When this occurs, it can be difficult to know where to find help and continue moving forward on your journey. It is often easier to ignore your own needs and focus on others' needs instead.

You found yourself in a cycle of feeling stuck and overwhelmed while continuing to run around with a never ending list of demands; it can feel like there’s no out. Feeling unsure of what to do, but knowing there is more to life can be an exhausting place to be. This can impact not only our emotional well-being, but also our physical health if acting in a way that we’re not valuable enough to care for. You deserve to have a healthy self-relationship again, which begins to shift other areas of life into alignment.

Is worry, fear, or physical symptoms of anxiety holding you back? Feel like your mind is in a million places at once? Challenges with procrastination? Has substance use become a way to cope? Have you noticed it affecting your relationships?
