I am a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with over 18 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked in residential treatment, day treatment and outpatient therapy. I am also an adjunct professor and teach in the Social Work department. My years of experience include working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, caregivers for people living with chronic pain/illness, survivor's of those that have lost loved ones to suicide and ADHD. I also have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines using a client centered solution focused therapy along with cognitive- behavioral therapy that challenges negative thoughts and meeting the client where they are at in the moment. I like to focus on what the client needs and find strengths in their own lives that can help them to find ways to meet their goals. Through my life and work experience I am here to support the client anyway I can. It takes courage to seek out change. I really believe that having a positive client-therapist relationship is an essential piece to the puzzle that will help make the change process easier. Thank you and I look forward to working with you! Jessie

Shiona Severson
With advanced training in Emotion Focused Therapy and Somatic and Attachment EMDR, along with therapeutic approaches rooted in attachment theory, I offer a person-centered treatment experience that recognizes each individual’s unique story. Together, we’ll create a space where your challenges are honored and your strengths are empowered, supporting you on every step of your journey. My practice is shaped not only by formal expertise, but also by real-world experience and a commitment to meeting you where you are. I believe that healing and growth happen through genuine connection, compassionate understanding, and practical wisdom. I use emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help focus on our emotions and how they influence our thoughts, actions, and relationships. Additionally if appropriate I offer EMDR therapy. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Our first session is used to get to know each other and to explain how therapy works within the EFT model. Expectations from both you, as the client, and me, as the therapist, are created and laid out. This is a common time to be nervous, but just know that if I am not the right fit for you, I will help you find someone who is.
