Rachelle Belott Filipiak
Hello! I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. My skill-set has been molded working in a domestic violence shelter for women, college counseling center, medium-security correctional facility for men, and providing outpatient mental health services for individuals of all ages and struggles. I take a modern, holistic, and interpersonal approach incorporating elements from different theories depending on the person and the situation. Life is hard, and triggers are unavoidable. Change is unpleasant in the short term, but can improve the quality of our lives in the long-term. The goal of therapy is to identify the obstacles and learn ways to change our thoughts and behaviors resulting in less emotional distress. My end goal is to empower people to confidently resolve their struggles independent of mental health professionals in the future once they refine their skills. I offer a safe, confidential presence and am eager to offer support and guidance on your journey. You've already done the work to survive; now let's find a way to thrive!

Sarah Platzer
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with over 6 years of experience working at a Behavioral Health hospital and outpatient clinic. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, and ADHD. I have also worked with many clients who have struggled with self-harm and suicide. My approach is client centered and my training has been heavily focused in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). When working with clients, I strive to make them feel comfortable opening up. Coming to therapy is often a difficult choice to make, and I am here to help you achieve your treatment goals. You have made the first step and I am here to help you along the way. Therapy can be difficult at times, and I bring a warm energy and often use humor. I am excited to meet you and start working with you!

Jane Collingwood
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin. I have experience providing therapy in the home, residential treatment, and outpatient setting. I specialize in grief, loss, end-of-life, relationship issues, forgiveness, aging, depression, and anxiety. I provide therapy using a variety of techniques, including solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, whole health, and motivational interviewing. My therapy style is nonjudgmental, open, and interested. I take time to get to know anyone I'm working with and develop a genuine and sincere therapeutic relationship. I believe that everyone has the ability to find their way through any life stressor and therapy should be tailored to meet the specific style and needs of each person. I have worked with people of all ages through all stages of life and have found that every stage offers unique opportunities for growth.

Ashley Lynch
Hello, my name is Ashley Lynch and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin. I have been working in the field of mental health since 2012 in various settings and roles. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from George Williams College in 2016. My first exposure to assisting people with mental health was during my undergraduate program where I worked with individuals in group homes. I found conversing with the clients and talking through their struggles, passions, and goals so rewarding that it led me to pursue my masters degree specifically with the goal of clinical counseling. During my post-graduate work I interned at the Alzheimer's Association where I would do short term therapy and crisis intervention with caregivers. From there I graduated and worked as the facility director for a senior care facility. I had the opportunity to move on from there and discovered a new passion in providing clinical care to college aged students. I approach clinical sessions with an empathetic disposition and make it my goal to meet my clients where they are at. In session, I work with my clients to set up a treatment plan that they feel comfortable with and establish goals that are attainable. My main areas of focus have been anxiety/panic attacks, depression, end of life/hospice/caregiving, self-esteem, motivation, and grief.

Cristin Opall
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. While I have not worked with clients who are BRCA 1+, I personally 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 a carrier 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.
