Therapists in Wisconsin

I've been practicing as an LPC in a private community-based clinic for the last 17 years. My specialty has been with traumatized youth in a group day treatment setting. I've also utilized play therapy with children while focusing on trauma resolution and healthy attachment with caregivers. Long ago and far away, I was trained in Levels I and II of EMDR. I'm admittedly rusty and not sure how this could be utilized in messaging, but I'm willing to explore how it may be integrated.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, & self esteem. I also have experience working with clients to build confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. In 2023 I discovered I am BRCA 1+. If you know what this is, you know it can be a very emotional and confusing journey. I went through the diagnosis, consultations on preventative care, treatment options, and ultimately made the best choice for my situation and my family. If you are positive for a mutation of the BRCA 1 gene, or know someone who is, and would like to receive therapy from a therapist who has personal experience, I believe I could be a helpful contact. I am willing to discuss and share my decisions but the purpose of therapy would not be for me to tell you what to do. It is a decision you must make for yourself, but I would be happy to help by navigating the numerous emotions (grief, loss, identity, depression, anger, etc.) that may come up in your journey.

Hello, I'm Liz! Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life. I look forward to working with you!

Troubled times can create anxious thoughts and choices. Whether wanting the sadness to end, or [re]discovering purposefulness, or wrestling with uncomfortable thoughts, targeted therapy can help. I believe that the answers lay within each of us. My training has focused on mitigating trauma, resolving grief, and tolerating uncertainty. I am EMDR certified, utilize mindfulness and cognitive therapy models, and have advanced training in working with addictions and other troubling behavior issues. Adding meditation as a daily ritual can be clarifying and fruitful in making everyday decisions. My encouragement will be to go beyond the surface of your life to explore the depth within. Fear, loss, joy and awareness are contained in the cells of our being. We carry every experience of and response to our lives deep inside. I believe each of us has the answers to our life's puzzles, and my job is to provide a compassionate and safe space for that journey. I look forward to working alongside you.

🌿 Jaclene “Jackie” LPC Therapist for the tender-hearted, the exhausted, the soul-weary, and the deeply feeling. Hi, I’m Jackie—and I’m not just a therapist. I’m a gentle guide for the moments when life breaks you open. With over nine years of experience walking with teens, adults, and couples through trauma, anxiety, grief, and relational wounds, I offer a space that feels like safety wrapped in compassion. A place where you can unravel—without judgment—and begin again, piece by piece, in your own time and way. Whether your pain is loud or quiet, recent or long buried, I’ll meet you there with reverence. Because I don’t just believe in healing—I believe in you. 🌺 What It’s Like to Work With Me Therapy with me is like being offered a cup of tea and a soft chair for your soul. My style is warm, intuitive, and deeply relational. I listen not just to your words—but to the story behind them. I’ll sit with you in the dark, but I’ll always be holding a lantern. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin. Whether you're laughing through tears, whispering things you've never said out loud, or sitting quietly as your heart speaks—I’ll be right there beside you. 🕊️ The First Session The first time we meet, you can leave your “best self” at the door. This is the space where masks come off, pressure dissolves, and the truth is welcomed. We’ll talk about what brought you here—but gently, at your pace. My goal isn’t to fix or diagnose—it’s to see you. To help you feel, maybe for the first time in a long while, that you are safe. That you are no longer walking alone. Most clients say, “I didn’t realize how much I needed this.” That feeling? That’s the beginning of something beautiful. 🎯 How We’ll Set Goals Together Your healing isn’t a checklist. It’s a living, breathing journey. Together, we’ll listen closely to what your heart needs, what your body is holding, and what your future is quietly asking for. I’ll help you set goals that are compassionate, realistic, and rooted in your deeper why—not just what you want to stop feeling, but what you want to start becoming. We’ll track your growth in the subtle ways that matter: the way your breath softens, the way your relationships shift, the way you come home to yourself. 🧠 How I Practice Therapy I bring both science and soul to this work. I’m trained in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, and use Gottman Therapy to support couples in building lasting intimacy. But I’m also an eclectic therapist, meaning I blend in art therapy, music, somatic techniques, inner child work, and the inspired insights of thought leaders like Esther Perel. Your healing isn’t cookie-cutter, so neither is my therapy. Each session is crafted with care, creativity, and respect for your unique story. 🌻 Who I Help I hold space for those in pain—whether it’s loud and messy or silent and aching. I work with teens sorting through identity, emotions, and the pressure of growing up; adults stuck in anxiety, burnout, or trauma; and couples who love each other but feel miles apart. I help people untangle patterns they’ve carried for years—and start rewriting the story in a way that finally feels like freedom. If you feel lost, broken, disconnected, or just plain tired… I see you. You’re exactly where you need to be to begin again. 📖 Why I Became a Therapist My journey into this work started with a story. A book my grandmother gave me when I was a child—about a quiet psychotherapist who helped others find their way through pain. Something in that story spoke directly to my spirit. I didn’t know then what it meant—but I do now. I became a therapist because I’ve always seen the pain behind people’s smiles. Because I’ve always wanted to lift the weight of sorrow where I could. Because somewhere deep down, I’ve always believed: we are not meant to suffer alone. Being a therapist isn’t what I do—it’s who I am. It’s my offering. My promise. My part in the healing of this world. ✨ If Your Heart is Whispering, “Maybe it’s time…” I invite you to follow that whisper. You don’t need to be perfect, ready, or sure. You just need to be willing. Let’s begin this journey—together.
