Hello! I'm Abby. My counseling experience includes providing individual and group counseling for clients with depressive and/or anxious symptoms due to past trauma or current stressful situations and relationships. I enjoy working with individuals who seek ways to feel safe in their bodies and be empowered in their personal and professional relationships. My client focus includes adults and adolescents, LGTBQ+ identity related issues, mood disorders, substance use, developmental trauma, sexual trauma, polyamory, and kink relationships. I use an evidenced-based practice called Emotion-Focused Therapy that is humanistic, strength-focused, person-centered and experiential. I see the client as the expert of their lives and my role is to be a compassionate guide to help them process their negative experiences to find more adaptive ways of connecting to others and find meaning in their story. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you have about us working together. I look forward to learning about how I can best support you on your personal journey toward growth. I currently see individuals and co-facilitate a Women's Trauma group.

Often times throughout life we find ourselves feeling disconnected. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, untethered and lost without any sense of direction. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients as they navigate and discover the path to their most authentic self. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable in exploring their past, rewriting personal narratives, and forging an understanding of self that enables living presently. Together we'll discover your strengths, while exploring areas that crave nurturing and healing. My passions include working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship difficulties. I tailor my therapy approach to the unique needs of my clients and believe in a collaborative approach to healing that also incorporates mindfulness. I provide a space where clients feel supported as they identify desired areas of change.

Hello! My name is Alexis Gade and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to offer clients a safe and compassionate environment to explore barriers they might be facing that are preventing them from living to their full potential as well as identifying strengths to achieve their goals. I utilize strategies from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure/Response Prevention, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to create a tailored, individualized approach to therapy. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with anxiety and OCD. I work with clients to help them accept their anxieties rather than fight against them in order to live life according to their values. Another area of focus of mine is helping women and mothers during challenging life transitions, including the prenatal and postpartum periods. I am a believer that all changes, even positive changes, can be challenging and stressful. I’m here to walk you through these changes in order to be more present in your daily life. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey in a welcoming, non judgmental environment. I am currently accepting new clients.
You and your partner are struggling to communicate. The emotional intimacy has lost its spark and physical connection is fading. We aren't connecting and the stress is high. You want to heal together instead of growing apart. You want to be a better partner!

There is so much you want to share with your partner, and you need help learning how to engage again. You can learn how to be vulnerable with one another by increasing your communication skills and learning how to listen again. You are looking for a perspective that will challenge and push you to grow. I provide education on communicating more effectively with others and help you set boundaries with them so that you can live life on your terms. I teach skills to increase your insight into your emotions. I support you in finding solutions to take and make changes with. I welcome you to connect with me and learn how to access your inner strengths. You can have the life, love, and relationships you desire through support, communication skills, and healing.

Are you struggling with your mental health, relationships, or issues of faith? Do you feel stuck repeating the same patterns of communication or trauma responses? I have experience working with people with depression and anxiety disorders, complex-PTSD and trauma members of the LGBTQ+ community and more. I also enjoy working with people around faith transitions or other spiritual/religious processing. I approach my work with a trauma lens, I am trained in EMDR and I am IFS-informed (Internal Family Systems or Parts work). I am a systems thinker and understand that all aspects of life are connected. I believe mental health is multifaceted, and many different things impact mental health. I can help you explore many different parts of life in order to work together to understand, process, and heal. You can expect curiosity and compassion in my office. My biggest hope is to be a safe space for you to get to know yourself better, and support you through your healing journey. I look forward to working with you.

Most of my clients would identify as one or some of the following: people pleaser, high-achiever, over-functioner, perfectionist, over-thinker. If this describes you, I’d love to help. My approach focuses on tuning into emotions and your past experiences to help you 1) understand yourself on a newer and deeper level 2) detangle and clarify what you are feeling, 3) change the way you respond to difficult circumstances, 4) resolve long standing issues that sabotage your life & relationships, 5) prioritize yourself and your needs. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I have specialized expertise in treating a number of sexual concerns. I ask the important questions you may not think to ask yourself, & focus deeply on what you are saying & not saying. I aspire to be tough when you need it, & gentle when the work is hard enough. Our work in therapy will be dynamic and collaborative; you will be lit up with new ways of understanding yourself. And I'll be in your corner the entire time. I believe change happens when we expand our self-awareness and understand ourselves deeply. But to do this, we first need to be understood. I seek to build a trusting, safe, confidential space where you can be yourself, speak freely, and feel fully seen. More information and resources on my website: www.bobbywalkertherapy.com

I take into account the whole person (mind/body/spirit) and provide a non-judgmental approach to therapy. Together we will focus on finding and resolving the factors that are at the root of your mental health symptoms. These symptoms are often natural responses/adaptations to stressful life circumstances and traumatic experiences. From this perspective, these psychological parts become imbalanced over time and can get stuck in the past. Once they are properly integrated in the here-and-now, we can begin to live a life that is true to our purpose and in alignment with our highest selves. I use a unique blend of talk therapy and other more eclectic therapeutic techniques that can allow people to fully feel, understand, and integrate parts of themselves. Clients who have spent years in talk therapy have told me that they have received more benefit in just a few of our sessions than they had previously. (Licensed in Iowa and Wisconsin) Reach out and request a free consultation! I'd love to know a bit about what you're struggling with and we can see if we might be a good fit for therapy. If not, I will attempt to help you find someone who is. Accepting Wellmark/BCBS in the near future! Contact me to be put on my insurance waitlist :)

It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said that, "What lies behind us and what lies before us matters little compared to what lies within us". For more than 30 years I have focused on helping children and adults, individually, in couples, in families and groups achieve strength, peace and confidence by improving conflict resolution, communication, stress and anxiety, anger management skills, child and adolescent behavioral problems, and parenting skills as well as improved functioning and decreased emotional distress related to depression, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders.

Here is how I help: I offer grounded and compassionate therapy that is open, present, and realistic. You will be understood and accepted as you are so we can work toward resolving the problems that stand in your way, whether they are challenges you want to face on your own, or relationship issues you want to resolve with your partner or family. With couples, Meshel Langford is my co-therapist. Having both of us provides balance, perspective, and support (please see our website, linked on this page). I work with couples, families, and individuals, specializing in individual therapy with men, and relationship therapy. I also offer EMDR, a type of therapy which helps the brain reprocess trauma and other distress. I am co-authoring a graduate text for the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Edgewood College. I have witnessed the deepest wounds become places of wisdom and strength, and the belief in love and hope become stronger than anything that opposes them. Both couple and individual therapy can help accomplish that, and can help you discover your life as you want it to be.

Are you feeling like you're stuck in a rut? Maybe the holiday season isn't bringing you as much joy as you hoped, or perhaps you're feeling that you've lost yourself in trying to please those around you. Our relationships with ourselves and others have a direct impact on our overall mental health and wellbeing, and it's hard to feel like our best selves when we are overwhelmed and exhausted.

If you're feeling burnt out and looking for a recharge, I'd love to help you work through this process. I work with clients to identify patterns in their lives and relationships that keep them feeling stuck and work collaboratively to shift these in a healthier direction.

I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards a healthier life and more fulfilling relationships that you deserve.

Chocolate, snowboarding, and shopping can be therapeutic, but sometimes they're not enough. I see teenagers, adults, and families when struggles get in the way of fun and suffering becomes too familiar.

Relationships are central to our well-being, and the therapy process involves building a relationship. Clients lead, and I listen to your goals and help you to identify unhealthy patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and learn more about how you view yourself and the world. I have significant experience working with clients who have a wide range of concerns including sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, family difficulties, peer problems, self-injurious behaviors, grief and loss, and adjustment and life transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Thus, the goal is not to arrive at a standardized diagnosis, but to achieve a deeper insight into each person's distinct biopsychosocial makeup.

My training and experience includes Autism-specific diagnostic testing, socioemotional developmental assessments, as well as psychiatric and treatment evaluations primarily among children and adolescents.
