Therapists in Wisconsin

Hello, and welcome! My name is Leora and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin. I am passionate about helping people meet their goals and live happier, more fulfilled lives. I believe we all deserve to be who we truly are, and sometimes we need help to harness the bravery to live authentically. I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ and poly communities. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I understand that having an identity that differs from the societal norm can make seeking treatment feel especially daunting. My clients enjoy a truly non-judgmental space to cultivate the strength to become a prouder version of their authentic selves. Many of my clients describe sessions with me as relaxed and not overly clinical, while still being extremely effective. The issues I am most experienced in treating include anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, gender dysphoria, low self-esteem, body image issues, trauma, PTSD, and relationship boundary issues. I primarily use well-researched Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness therapies. I believe that being open about our mental health and seeking help when we need it is one of the most noble things a person can do. Taking care of your mental health doesn't just benefit you, it benefits everyone who knows and cares about you as well! Congratulations on your bravery in taking the first step. I know how important it is that you can count on regular responses from your counselor. I respond to messages at least once per day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. I am currently offering messaging and Live Chat. If you would prefer video or phone, please select a different therapist. Thank you!

My name is Mildred Spann, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin that has been working as a Mental Health Provider for 14 years. I have experience working with clients who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, relationship issues, anger management, trauma, grief issues and issues related to homelessness. My counseling style is to provide a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story and experiences. I treat my clients with respect, dignity and compassion. I strongly believe in being empathetic and non-judgmental. I utilize mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). I also provide grief counseling. I strongly believe Therapy is a partnership between the therapist and client. I work together with clients to formulate a treatment plan that meets their needs. My goal for the clients I work with is to leave them with a tool that they can put in their tool box that is readily accessible when they are faced with a challenging situation or problem. It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. However, if you are ready to take the next steps to begin living a more fulfilling and self-empowered life style I would love to help guide you along the way. I look forward to working with you. Thank You!

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. While I am all the things I believe a "good" therapist should be (empathetic, good listener, validate, etc), I do think my style is very welcomes and appreciated by my clients because I am also DIRECT, I will challenge you, I believe that my clients came to me because they needed help to facilitate CHANGE, and in order to do that in my opinion, we have to be 100% honesty with each other, I will need to push some emotional button, to help get insight and self awareness, because without that we often can't facilitate change.... we can't change what we don't know or understand. I believe change is possible, I believe it can be empowering and freeing all at the time..... the question isn't can I change, or is change possible, the question is are you READY to change, and if your ready, I'm ready to help you on that journey!!!!!

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, & self esteem. I also have experience working with clients to build confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. While I have not worked with clients who are BRCA 1+, I personally am BRCA 1+. If you know what this is, you know it can be a very emotional and confusing journey. I went through the diagnosis, consultations on preventative care, treatment options, and ultimately made the best choice for my situation and my family. If you are a carrier of the BRCA 1 gene, or know someone who is, and would like to receive therapy from a therapist who has personal experience, I believe I could be a helpful contact. I am willing to discuss and share my decisions but the purpose of therapy would not be for me to tell you what to do. It is a decision you must make for yourself, but I would be happy to help by navigating the numerous emotions (grief, loss, identity, depression, anger, etc.) that may come up in your journey.
