Specialties: Trauma/PTSD, Domestic Violence/Psychological Abuse, Women's Psychology, Anxiety and Depression, Autism. 

Summary: I believe that there is wisdom within each conflict, whatever the source: uncomfortable feeling, difficulties at work, school, or relationships, unmanageable stress, or more severe symptoms such as persistent thoughts about death, obsessive anxiety, or a spiritual or existential crisis. Psychotherapy that aims to change your life in deep and meaningful ways in no "quick fix." Lasting positive changes occurs in the context of an ongoing, trusting relationship between an empathetic therapist and a dedicated client. Through the right kind of therapy, this wisdom can be fostered into being and transformed into a different, more comfortable, level of understanding.

Alex A

Summary:
Greetings! Please feel free to call me Al. I have been in the mental health field for over a decade and have provided a wide range of services in many different environments. My experience includes interning on an adolescent inpatient unit, working in rural communities as a crisis clinician, completing evaluations and admissions in a medical hospital, and providing individual and family therapy to outpatient clients. I am excited to be rejoining the world of outpatient services because I feel it's the best way I can help serve my community. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches based on individual or family needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and solution-focused therapy. The process of therapy and creating change can be difficult and emotionally taxing, so I like to incorporate play therapy and humor when appropriate to the situation. We can feel many different ways about many different things, and I believe that laughter is often overlooked in the process because we get bogged down by the seriousness of our stressors. My ultimate goal is to meet you where you are and help you navigate a whole range of emotions and thoughts until we reach a place that feels better to you. We may never be perfect, but we can strive to be our best selves. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

OCD, perinatal OCD and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, general anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, anger management, self-esteem issues, stress management, and sports performance related issues. 

Ages: Adults, adolescents, and children (5th grade and older)

Summary:
As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome a variety of mental health challenges. My passion is to help youth and adults who feel they are struggling discover why they are struggling and create a game plan for success. I recognize that every individual's journey is unique, and I take a holistic, client-centered approach that prioritizes personal strengths while addressing specific needs. I aim to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where my clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, no matter how complex or difficult they may seem.

In my work, I utilize a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness techniques, to assist clients in navigating the challenges they face. For those dealing with obsessive-compulsive thoughts, anxiety, or phobias, I work to break the cycle of distress and avoidance, helping clients confront and manage their fears in a structured and supportive manner. In addition, I provide specialized support for new and expectant mothers dealing with perinatal OCD and other anxiety-related concerns, helping them find peace and confidence during this significant life stage.



When working with depression, ADHD, or anger management, I help individuals gain insight into the underlying causes of their emotions and behaviors while equipping them with practical tools to manage symptoms and enhance overall well-being. I also work with clients on improving self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and managing stress, believing that personal growth and resilience are central to a healthy, balanced life.



I have a particular focus on helping athletes and individuals with performance anxiety develop strategies to overcome mental blocks and optimize their potential in high-pressure situations. By addressing both the mental and emotional aspects of performance, I support clients in achieving peak performance while maintaining their mental well-being.



I believe that every person has the potential to achieve personal growth, happiness, and success when given the right tools, guidance, and encouragement. My approach emphasizes collaboration, where clients take an active role in their healing journey, and we work together to identify goals, build resilience, and foster lasting positive change. Whether helping clients navigate day-to-day stressors or addressing deeper emotional wounds, I am committed to providing the support and expertise needed for them to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

Angie Byers

Angie Byers MS, LPC

Certified Brainspotting Therapist


Practice Areas- Eating disorders and disordered eating, body image, self esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, brainspotting, perinatal mental health, grief/loss and adjustment/life transitions.


As a therapist, I help clients feel safe and understood throughout the therapeutic process. If you are here, there is a part of you that is seeking more for yourself which is a beautiful thing. I support clients to build insight and awareness into what is holding them back from meaningful change and create a plan for treatment to address these areas. Within this framework, we can get to the root causes within and ultimately experience deeper healing. I believe each client holds wisdom to what they ultimately need and my role is to help facilitate growth in self agency and authenticity. I also believe there is a core need to problematic behavior and its source is worth understanding and learning to honor in healthy ways. I work collaboratively with my clients to learn skills to enhance their life as well as their relationship with self and others. I believe therapy is not just for "fixing problems" but a unique opportunity to get to know yourself in meaningful ways. It is a privilege to come alongside my clients in their therapeutic process.


I am holistic in my approach. I incorporate talk therapy interventions such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, parts work and Mindfulness. I am also trained and certified in Brainspotting which I use often with my clients to enhance their healing.


I have worked in the mental health field since 2013 in various settings including transitional living, outpatient and intensive outpatient. I received my BA in both Psychology and Communication from UW-Milwaukee and completed my MS in Mental Health Counseling at the CACREP accredited, Walden University.

Summary:
Stop scrolling, take a breath, you've got this! You may be thinking "how will I know if therapy is a good fit for me?" Therapy is not a one-size-fits all, in which I strive to provide a space that is uniquely tailored to YOU and your specific therapeutic goals. The clients I work with are looking to go beyond and explore the "depths" of problems/challenges they face as well as gain a better understanding of what makes them who they are. I connect best with clients ages 12+ looking to heal from challenges with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, life transitions and loss of self/identity.

I founded my practice on principles of empowerment, collaboration, and holism. Through a person-centered and psychodynamic approach, I provide comprehensive and compassionate support for clients in terms of self-exploration (answering that big question of "why?"), personal development, and educational growth.

Brian Q

Specialties:
EMDR, Men's Issues, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Life Adjustment and Stress, LGBTQ+ Identity, Relationships and Communication.

Summary:
Having worked for several years in the mental health field, I have seen the effect pain and suffering can have on the human spirit. Adapting to life's expectations and difficulties is an ongoing process, starting at the beginning of life and continuing into old age. I believe having someone "in your corner" can lead to the self-discovery necessary for change and growth.

Psychotherapy is a trusting and honest relationship between you and your
therapist, focused on achieving goals which result in better overall health.
I emphasize that our problems are best understood holistically, through our past and current environments and experiences. By identifying the "root" of our issues, we can develop insight into what we need to move forward into health. All people have the ability to heal through the development of skills and techniques which increase resiliency and belongingness. Through offering
a confidential and non-judgmental space for your story, together we can develop strategies to help you navigate your life.

In counseling, I use a combination of psychodynamic, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and emotion-focused parts therapy to help my client's work through the difficulties in their life. After identifying healthy goals, we will take steps together to overcome the barriers in your life which prevent you from living the life you want to live.

• Education: Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Wisconsin – Whitewater; Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Wisconsin – Whitewater; Academic Education in Gender Studies.

variety of clients and helping them develop insight and understanding into their struggles and
teaching tools needed to regulate emotions, improve relationships, and build a satisfying life.

Empowering clients to make changes that lead to a more fulfilling life and to live life intentionally is

Summary:
I believe that our life experiences shape who we are — influencing how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond to the world around us.

There can be so many characters but there is only one main character. You. And your story matters.

● Life Transitions
● Living with Celiac Disease
● Parenting
● Relationship Issues
● Self-Esteem
● Stress
● Relationship & Couples Counseling


Summary:
● Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and it takes courage to sit down with someone new. I strive to make that process easier by creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space from the very first session. I am passionate about listening to people's stories and working alongside them to find new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I believe our past experiences shape us, but they don't have to define us. By understanding old patterns and beliefs, we can learn healthier approaches that allow us to live more fulfilling and authentic lives.



I work with children (elementary age and up), teens, and adults on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, and daily stress. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client's needs. I primarily use a Person-Centered and Psychodynamic foundation, incorporating somatic work and attachment theory. When helpful, I also integrate strategies from DBT and CBT. In addition to individual counseling, I also work with couples to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection. I use the Gottman Method as a foundation for this work.



In addition to my counseling experience, I bring personal insight into the challenges of living with chronic health conditions such as celiac disease. This perspective helps me support clients navigating the emotional, social, and relational impact of health-related stressors—whether that means adjusting to new limitations, managing stress, or finding strength in self-advocacy.



Before transitioning into clinical mental health counseling, I spent ten years as a Professional School Counselor, which deepened my understanding of children, families, and the challenges of balancing academic, emotional, and social needs.

Individual and couples counseling, relationship issues, college students, young adults/emerging adulthood, women's issues, family relationships/conflict, anxiety and depression, life changes/transitions, emotional abuse, self-identity discovery

Summary:
Starting to see a counselor can be a scary thing, and no matter who you are, requires immense bravery. I believe we all have a collection of stories that make up who we are, and counseling should feel like a safe space to share that story. Having been in the client seat myself, I believe that in order to create a safe space for those stories to be heard, clients have to feel respected and important in a non-judgemental, confidential space. I am honored to hear each one of my client's stories and I cannot wait to hear yours!

As a mental health counselor, I use an eclectic approach, meaning I draw from multiple counseling approaches to best meet the needs of each unique client. The approaches I use most include Person-Centered Theory, Narrative Theory, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). 

Credentials:
• Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Keri

Specialties:
Anxiety depression, stress management, trauma, coping skills, mindfulness, spirituality, relationship issues, sex therapy, women's issues, domestic violence

Summary:
I believe that each person is whole and perfect. Yet with life, things happen. Every experience and interaction has an impact on our beings whether it is physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. These impacts/interactions can be stored physically and mentally which may cause disease, discomfort, and illness. Sometimes these interactions may seem insignificant to others yet have great significance to us and can cause an imbalance. While other times these experiences are very traumatic and physically harming. Regardless of the weight of the experience, addressing, moving through, and releasing the hold this experience has in your mind/body is where healing begins to occur. Being trained in spiritual guidance, massage therapy, bodywork, energy work and mental health therapy (LPC in training), I have the knowledge and experience to light the pathway to healing.
