Dr. Kim Gorecki
I provide a calm and supportive environment for clients to be heard, validated and understood. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, having relationship difficulties, or want to improve your mindset, I can help. Together we'll find threads of hope and resilience. I use a positive, collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy. Through treatment, clients can find clarity and peace while creating more organization and balance in their life. I have 18 years of clinical experience, mostly in outpatient mental health clinics. I have also worked in correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals. My specialties include misophonia, anxiety, adjustment, stress management and relationships. Clients can learn a variety of coping and communication skills to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. I provide both short-term solution-focused therapy and longer more in-depth therapy. We'll figure out together what best fits your needs. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology in 1996 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and my doctorate degree in clinical psychology in 2005 from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2009.
Alissa Bohmann
Welcome. Deciding to begin therapy can come with a mix of emotions—uncertainty, anxiety, maybe even fear. As a therapist, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step, and I hope to walk alongside you as you navigate your own journey. My approach to counseling is eclectic, drawing from various methods to best support your unique needs. I believe our past experiences shape how we show up in the present, and that exploring these layers can lead to powerful insight and growth. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that people—both children and adults—are resilient, and with the right support, can access the tools they need to move forward. In addition to addressing a range of mental health concerns, I have a particular understanding of issues related to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. These are deeply personal and complex areas, often connected to core questions of identity: Who am I? Where do I come from? I’ve completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, and I strive to offer a space where these stories can be explored with care. You might be wondering whether we’d be a good fit—and that’s an important question: *You’re hoping to work with a therapist who is warm, supportive, and able to gently challenge you when needed. *You value an eclectic, individualized approach to counseling that draws from multiple methods to meet your unique needs. *You appreciate a strengths-based perspective that recognizes resilience in both children and adults. *You’re looking for someone who values mutual respect and time, and who can both hold space and help you move toward solutions. *You want a therapist you can laugh with, cry with, and grow with—someone who is present, engaged, and committed to the work alongside you. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Dr. Ryan Knutson
Thanks for taking a moment to read about me. I am licensed in Wisconsin with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's degree in mental health counseling, and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), and Independent Clinical Supervisor (ICS). I've worked in a variety of clinical settings including correctional, outpatient, group homes, and volunteered as a counselor at the Salvation Army. Besides being a licensed counselor for over 10 years, I have been a supervisor for over 7 years, and was an adjunct instructor for a graduate counseling program. I have been working on Betterhelp since 2022. My theoretical foundation consists of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered, motivational interviewing, and strength-based approaches. However, I utilize what is the best fit for the individual and enjoy making adjustments to meet different individual needs. I believe 'good' therapy shouldn't feel like therapy and should feel more like a helpful conversation. I've had an interesting life that led me to be a counselor. These experiences provide me motivation to help others and a dedication to the counseling profession. I absolutely love helping people and would be honored to provide any support to those in need.
