I understand on a personal level, that working on oneself is not always easy. You must be brave, motivated to heal, and have the strength and self-awareness to seek help. If you have the strength to take these steps, you have the strength within yourself to address your issues and heal your struggles.

I have been doing individual, family and couples therapy for 38 years. I am an associate of the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Professional Counselor. My graduate degree is in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin with undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Philosophy. My approach is eclectic focusing on cognitive behavioral, existential and problem solving therapy. I has been trained in transactional analysis and enjoy working with the Christian and spiritual perspective. I have a Lay Ministry certificate in Lutheran studies.

Donnie utilizes a solution-focused and client-centered approach that supports clients in setting and reaching personalized, obtainable goals that improve their overall wellbeing. He also draws on evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach clients coping skills and help them develop a better understanding of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With almost ten years of clinical practice, Donnie has abundant experience integrating these therapy modalities in a manner best suited to meet the needs of each client.

In a collaborative, client-centered professional approach, I use biblical principles integrated with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy as interventions for change. This approach is highly effective because the client's emotional, behavioral, contextual, and spiritual needs are addressed. This approach can significantly help all ages across various issues achieve healing, reconciliation, and solutions related to various emotional and psychological problems. Those problems include child behavioral problems, family dysfunction, depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, and relationship problems.

Do you find having the same arguments with your child or spouse over and over again? Do you find you and your family members shutting down, getting in loud yelling matches, or slamming doors as some topics are brought up? Does your heart hurt so much that you cannot breathe or find yourself choking on your tears at times? Sometimes maintaining healthy relationships is so hard that it hurts people & even worse, makes them feel hopeless that change will ever happen. If you wish your relationship with your family were better, different, or even more tolerable, it might be time to consider reaching out for help.

Therapy is a collaborative process where we work with clients to meet their personalized goals. OMFTC offers empathetic therapeutic care to children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. We operate from a systemic perspective which means we take into consideration a client's family, work, school, friends, and greater community to see how these systems may be impacting current issues. My staff is open to new clients. I have moved to an administrative and supervisory role.

Many of us go through a process of hoping for change, personal growth or, perhaps, acceptance within ourselves. I'm here to walk that journey with you and help you reach realistic goals to positively impact your daily life. I believe that establishing rapport between a client and therapist is the foundation in providing the best outcome for change. You'll find that my therapeutic approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and transparent with a bit of light-heartedness. I work with a wide variety of clients with specialty populations that include healthcare workers, first responders, sexual assault survivors, and couples.

I look forward to working with people who are interested in personal growth. No matter what your life issues are, I will treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve.

I love watching my clients grow and become empowered by the work they are doing on themselves. I am on this journey with you as we utilize a technique or an approach that is individualized to you. I enjoy working with ages 13+ whether you are navigating through depression, stress, anxiety, suicidal ideations or you just need a safe space.

My name is AmySue Hartman; I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Wisconsin. I have worked in various capacities within human services for many years.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

It's a quickly changing world and that can make life very difficult at times. The opportunity to relate and learn helpful tools in a confidential, non-judgmental environment is an amazing healing and pro-active experience. I have over 10 years in practice and have worked with children, teens, families and couples in multiple areas including anxiety, depression, trauma and better communication. I am also fortunate enough to work within the LGBTQ+ and poly communities. I do not accept insurance at this time but will work diligently to help with any financial concerns.

Genuinely invested in you, your struggles, and your goals. Personalized respectful help, focused on clear progress for you. Low fee of $60 per hour. Depression, Anxiety, Relationships, Conflict, Behavioral problems, Parenting, Divorce, Affairs, Choices, Self Esteem are some of the issues I often work with. I have experience with adolescents concerns, as well as with blended, mixed, step-parent and adoptive families. I work to truly listen, to clearly understand, to explore issues collaboratively. Appointments are generally available 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm. You can start with a simple email to tell me what you are hoping to address.

I offer a safe, supportive environment and have found empathy, understanding and humor are important in building a therapeutic alliance. My abilities are well suited to people with a history of trauma and who are intuitive and creative. Whether you're looking for short term therapy or a deeper process, my skill level applies to both. Each person is unique and I anticipate and enjoy building a relationship that assumes collaboration. I then work with them toward activating their own healing potential, no matter the age. I work well with individuals who have had treatment failures in the past.
