Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Eau Claire, WI

Hello! My name is Grace and I am licensed in the state of Wisconsin as an LPC. I enjoy working with adults and a few teenagers that are wanting to improve their quality of life and mental health through individual psychotherapy. I treat a host of diagnoses, including anxiety and depressive disorders, and disorders associated with trauma. I have additional training in treating eating disorders and substance use disorders.

An ideal client is one who is being just who they are in spite of all the challenges or concerns they may be dealing with. I also have weekend and some evening hours.

I am a compassionate, caring, qualified therapist. Rather than just treating symptoms, I help clients get to the root cause of the problem. Then we work together to change habitual ways of thinking, feeling and behaving into more positive, healthful, life affirming patterns. I am a Clinically trained Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst and psychotherapist. I use this process because I am amazed at how good results are for clients. I love to see clients succeed and hypnosis makes change more effective and faster. I am currently getting a doctorate because I am committed to the most effective treatment possible.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

OCD, ANXIETY, PANIC, and PHOBIAS can all be incredibly uncomfortable, taking away precious time from what is important to you. Perhaps rumination, checking or intrusive, scary thoughts are ruining valuable aspects of your life. You want to feel better, you want relief and you want connection with others. What if you could experience less anxiety, feel more confident, and be able to approach your day with more surplus? Together we will make a plan that creates lasting change and together find strategies that work for you - that you can take into your daily life.

I practice a person-centered approach where I strive to treat all individuals with respect which promotes autonomy. I provide a respectful, accepting, and empathetic counseling perspective. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families and I have a special interest with working within the framework of holistic wellness.

Even if things look awesome on the outside, it doesn’t mean it represents what we are feeling on the inside. When you struggle with anxiety, you wear a mask on a daily basis to show the world you are a strong person. You help people when you can, you take on new roles, and you keep a smile on your face. All of this hides your fears of failure and rejection, self-doubt, and anxiety for the future. That feeling on the inside can lead us to behaviors like avoidance, overworking, as well as conflict in relationships (and the relationships you have with your animals). It can even show up in how we sleep, how we eat, and in chronic pain

I have a passion for working with adults of various ages, couples and children struggling with life transitions, grief, loss, aging, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe we experience grief and pain in all situations in life. Whether you are struggling with a recent death of loved one, experiencing a life change, or have experienced trauma, we learn to adapt and cope with our pain. Often, the way we learned to cope with our pain no longer works for us, and we may feel struck, not knowing how to help ourselves change. I strive to offer clients a person-centered approach toward healing and their desired change.
