Therapists in Caledonia, WI

I started as a therapist because I wanted to use the many experiences I have had in life to help others navigate their own. I am currently licensed in Wisconsin. In 2006, I earned a master's degree in criminal justice. Then, in 2013, I went back to school to get a master's degree in counseling. My client base consists of those who have experienced trauma, those who are survivors of domestic violence, and those with anxiety, depression, adjustment and relationship concerns, and addiction. I have worked with the homeless, the addicted, the abused, the abuser, the clergy, the parent, and countless others. The approaches I use in therapy depend on the person I am working with and the issues they are struggling with. Some issues need a more cognitive response, some a somatic-based response, and other a Biblical response. Still, others need a behavioral response, and others a solution-focused response. I think the reason I can help is because I have a wide array of life experiences, combined with a solid education, and laid back demeanor. My current clients often comment on how relaxed and easy to talk to I am; this is something I pride myself on. I also work hard to get to know my clients and their stories. I am in constant study to make sure I am informed and equipped to help.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Wisconsin. I began my career in the area of addictions, working both with the patient and families of people with substance abuse problems. I have since expanded on that area and have extensive experience working with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, chronic medical issues, caregiver and compassion fatigue, I try to meet each person that I work with where they are at and help them discover their strengths and develop plans to assist with the changes they would like to make. It takes alot to reach out for help, and I want to make sure that I honor that and help people feel that they are not alone in their struggles. Since I have been in the field for a long time, I have been trained in a multitude of treatment approaches but I have committed to staying current in the new ideas that are being used. I currently rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Acceptance and Committment Therapy. I incorporate education and homework to augment the time that we spend together. I also feel strongly that I need to practice what I preach and work on maintaining a healthy lifestyle myself. At this point, I am working primarily Wednesday through Friday 9 to 5, and 8 to 2 on Saturdays. If you need evening appointments, please look for a therapist with that availability.

I specialize in helping people get past their "stuck points". We all have stuck points and blind spots. We all do things that cause us to say to ourselves, "I wonder why I did that!" I have worked in the mental health field and specifically in the area of trauma since 1997. My areas of expertise are in trauma disorders and how these disorders also present as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, pain, and plethora of presentations that are based in trauma. Most of which the general public are not aware of. All of us have experienced some kind of trauma or neglect in our lives. That's because we're human. We make mistakes as people, as parents, as imperfect but beautiful beings. This affects how we see and feel the world around us. It is often the impetus behind any of our behaviors. This can also affect our performance in school, sports, interactions with families and friends. But most of us have no idea how to deal with the effects of, or metabolize the emotion in a way that restores our full equilibrium. I utilize somatic-based therapies, EMDR, Trauma Model therapy, brain spotting, DBT, CBT and Ego state therapies. I work with children and adults of all ages. Don't let your own fears hold you back from reaching your full potential!

I am a licensed psychologist with 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy in a variety of settings. I have worked across the lifespan but most enjoy working with adults of any age. I am grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based, whole-person approach. This means that I deeply value the lens through which you view yourself, your life, and your experiences, and seek to help you not just overcome difficulties and manage symptoms, but to live your life in a way that is consistent with your personal vision and values. I want my clients not just to survive, but to thrive, and I am continually in awe of the resiliency of the human spirit and how people rise above even the most difficult of situations to live meaningful lives. My style is compassionate, respectful and direct. I see you as the expert on your life, and my role as someone to guide, share observations, support trying new things, and to provide suggestions when desired. I use a variety of approaches / interventions, including short-term, more solution focused approaches, along with longer term exploration of the experiences that have shaped you, and the patterns in your life and relationships that may be blocking you from living your best life.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin that is also trained and licensed in art therapy. I have extensive experience working with youth ranging in age from four to 18. I have worked with women and their children in addictions recovery and am very interested in working with veterans because of my own journey through PTSD. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and identify as non-binary myself. I consider myself to be culturally competent, and will work to understand the perspective of the person I support first and foremost. My therapy style is welcoming and non-judgmental. I feel that my journey in life through trauma is why my heart genuinely cares to know others in theirs. I am honored to support anyone who feels they can trust me enough to share what has happened in order for us to make sense of why undesired behaviors and thoughts are present in their current struggle. I believe in putting the person first and will be an ally on their journey of healing, while continuing to motivate and encourage the person I support, even when it feels impossible. I believe compassion and relationship building is key for success. I honor diagnosis but believe a person is more than a label they were given. My approach is focused on a bottom-up approach that involves using the body, breath-work, and image making to promote neural connections for new habits. I work with the person I support to determine a treatment plan to meet their goals. My life work is rooted in understanding the effects trauma has on the mind, body and spirit. I use current research in these areas of understanding to work towards healing through emotional regulation in order to understand self to be able to create new narratives and patterns that promote a desired post-traumatic growth lifestyle. I have worked with with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, addictions, self-worth, death/grief, relationship issues, abuse, parent/child challenges and more. The journey is often not easy, but with support and small steps, I believe it is definitely doable. I look forward supporting you on your journey towards wellness.

I am grateful for you. No matter who you are, what you have done, you will be accepted. I bring a welcoming and accepting attitude and strong desire to help you enhance your self-understanding but also to help you determine what is best for you. Like Carl Rogers my mentor, I will listen to you as you are accepted wholly. Resources will be suggested in order to enhance your appreciation of yourself, those in your life and the activities you engage in on a regular - seldom basis. We will discuss and develop a personalized self-awareness and -improvement plan and partner in active addressing, modifying and completing of this plan. I bring experience within a family, in helping individuals have better relationships, identify and excel in their self-support and -thriving worlds and to reach out to enhance these as necessary. Gratefully, I have served many populations: new immigrants, medically vulnerable, the un- and under-employed, at-risk students, concerned family members and look forward to welcoming, honoring and serving you, a definite gift. Thank you for learning more about me. I offer you total acceptance.

My name is Carrie Sorenson and I have a Master's of Professional Studies degree from the University of Minnesota. I currently have been working in the field of addiction and mental health now for 4 years. The core of my work, as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and a licensed professional clinical counselor is focused on the belief that all of my clients are human beings who fundamentally are good. Human beings who have had diverse experiences throughout their lives, which have shaped the way they perceive and engage in the world around them. I therefore, believe that each individual comes with their own unique experiences and perspectives, which is why I value the importance of providing an individual approach to therapy.
