Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 53703

You feel burdened, like you’re carrying a refrigerator on your back through a land mine- almost anything or anyone could set you off. You hoped Life would be more peaceful, but as time goes on, your anxiety remains deep. Stress plants itself in your bones and reverberates through your whole body. It’s the same, no matter what you try. The voice of failure reverberates in your head. “You won’t make it, so why even try?” It all feels so hopeless.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has found their passion in treating diagnoses along the anxiety spectrum, including Social Anxiety, Specific Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety and Trauma/PTSD, I enjoy working with individuals ages 13 and older, and utilize evidenced based treatments to support them in reducing challenges presented by their diagnoses. I have worked in several different settings including residential and intensive outpatient programs. I enjoy working with clients to meet their treatment goals, and celebrate their success with them.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. I worked with young adults as a resident assistant during my undergraduate career helped me to understand the need for more accessible mental health services within the community. This encouraged me to pursue my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater and gain licensure as a Licensed Professional. I am licensed in WI and FL for telehealth services.

Depression, anxiety, stress & trauma can be crippling! Living with a "mental health diagnosis" can feel like you're damaged or broken. Or do you feel "stuck?" Whatever you're dealing with, it doesn't have to disrupt your life, nor are you broken or damaged! Think about this.. have you ever wondered why some people coast through life and everything seems to be going amazing for them, yet you feel stuck??? I can help you move forward and give you the tools that the most successful and content people know and use!

Are you at a crossroads in your life, struggling with crippling anxiety or debilitating depression? Do you need help and support to gain strength and motivation to feel joy? Would you like to build confidence and identify what is your passion in life? Would you like help problem solving and coming up with strategies to overcome barriers that may be internal or external? Would you like to gain the courage to let go of these blocks and make progress toward something that gives life meaning and fulfillment? Would you benefit from learning to connect to yourself as well as others with whom you are in contact?

Each of us has our own unique story. Oftentimes, aspects of it can bring us pain and confusion, leading us to develop disruptive thoughts and behaviors. This is when therapy can be helpful. My clients tend to be individuals and couples who realize they are not living at their fullest potential and want to get there. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe to explore problematic patterns and connect with healthy, more productive ones that move you forward.

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.

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 experience, Donnie has abundant experience integrating these therapy modalities in a manner best suited to meet the needs of each client.

Change can be easier said than done... and I help my clients do the hard work. I specialize in helping women who identify as bicultural, part of the BIOPC community and/or LGBTQIA+ address mental health concerns, achieve behavioral goals, navigate life transitions, and cope with disability/chronic illness. I am a second generation Indian American and I am client-centered, meaning you make your goals and together we decide how you will achieve them. I utilize talk therapy, mindfulness, EMDR and other strategies that work for your unique needs.

Welcome! You deserve good things from life. To feel better when you're hurting. To turn mistakes into growth, not self-hate. To find people who accept you as you are. To become who you truly want to be. Sometimes these things may feel impossible. I'll help you find what you seek, whether it's your path, your people or your passion. I can also help you discover your unique strengths and turn them into superpowers.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults throughout the lifespan. I enjoy working with diverse populations and have had the privilege of working in various settings including in-home behavioral therapy, group homes, assisted living, intensive day treatment settings, and outpatient counseling. I am currently offering outpatient counseling services at Golden Vibes Counseling Center.

Are you feeling trapped in life, or like you're stuck in a never-ending whirlwind? Do you find yourself wondering where it all went wrong, and how to get back on track? Do you hope to find some calm, clarity, and meaning in it all? If so, you've come to the right place. Together, we can sort through what tools, boundaries, and resources you and your life would benefit from to get you feeling your best again.

Resilience is the capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the face of stress, challenge or adversity. I provide a brave space for holistic health and well-being. I offer compassionate and integrative counseling to individuals and couples. I explore with you the practice of resilience, the embodiment of wellness, and how to access your innate wisdom to empower yourself and improve the quality of your life. My clinical approach is influenced by Internal Family Systems, somatic psychotherapy, and various relational, cognitive, and behavioral modalities.

I believe it is my role as a therapist to help support you in facilitating change in a nonjudgmental environment that offers accountability. We are a therapeutic team - you being the expert of your own experience and me being a sounding board for thoughts, feelings, and emotions. My therapeutic approach combines person centered therapy with aspects of cognitive behavioral (CBT), solutions focused, and dialectical-behavioral (DBT) therapies. This means we will implement skills for emotion regulation, communication, and facing anxiety while also making space to talk about your experiences.

When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it interferes with relationships, confidence, and the ability to perform your best. Breaking the avoidance, overthinking, checking and self-doubt cycle is possible. I take a warm and enthusiastic approach in guiding the therapeutic process for adults living with OCD, panic attacks, phobias, illness anxiety, sports performance anxiety, skin picking and hair pulling. I have over 11 years of counseling experience and 20 years in the mental health field. My work now focuses on helping adults, athletes, university students, and working professionals overcome obsessive worry and return to valued living.

In my practice I meet with adult individuals in their search of healing and personal growth, and I strive to awaken motivation, meaning and happiness. Everyone is unique, and your individual requirements in daily life for good health change according to many factors during the life journey. At times seeking support of a therapist can be helpful in either maintaining or restoring good health/wellbeing. We live in the age of information of all kinds, including an array of counseling strategies. My working style is eclectic.

Welcome! I’m excited to begin your counseling journey with you. I work with adults across the lifespan and am especially drawn towards working with young adults, college students, and adults navigating life transitions. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, disordered eating, Autism, ADHD, and self-esteem/identity. Whether this is your first experience with therapy, or you have sought counseling for many years, I will tailor my counseling approach to meet you where you’re at. My hope is that our work together can be collaborative, creative, and tuned in to what you need most in this moment.

My goal is to be able to provide mental health care to all! I am creating social media resources accessible to all to use for support in their life. You can begin your learning and healing if you look up Trauma Life Consulting on Facebook and Instagram. I also have a resource page in which then you can view more information and also be able to have interactive resources available to you at a rate you could never find therapy for! Go to the Patreon.com and look me up at Jenn Sluga-Trauma Life Consulting. Lets work together to spread mental health and share resources more freely! Mental health care for ALL!

If you ever go home feeling like you just can’t shake what you saw on a call, at work, throughout a career, or in life, I can help. You want to find a sense of peace. To feel whole again. Maybe you feel a bit lost and unrecognizable to yourself. You want to feel understood. You want to feel like you matter. You tell yourself “no one else could possibly get it.” If you find yourself more irritable and angrier with the people you love and care about, I can help. If you ever feel like there are pieces of yourself you’ve lost, I want to partner with you to find them.
