Therapists in Wales, WI

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 have weekend and some evening hours. I work as a counselor and as an instructor for SUDC students at CVTC. I have a masters degree in counseling from the University of Iowa and am credentialed with a LPC and CSAC in Wisconsin. I work with persons who have issues related to emotional well-being, whether mental health, adjustment related, substance-use related, or couple's issues. I have worked in a private practice setting for 12 years. I have experience with emergency work at a ER (primary suicidal assessments). I have worked in substance use disorder agencies (hospitals and clinics, inpatient and outpatient, small non-profit and a few which are profit-based). I have extensive work with employee assistance counseling. I have also worked with clients with correctional issues. Getting to understand what one is going through is a priority. Developing a working alliance with that person is essential. Patient empowerment and collaborative problem solving are cued in on.

Hello! My name is Courtney Peterson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Wisconsin and a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). I earned my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work Degrees from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. With over 15 years of social work experience, I have worked in a large variety of settings. These include: working with children who had emotional and behavioral difficulties in a day treatment setting, case management for elderly and physically disabled individuals, medical social work for individuals and families going through the hospice journey, and providing school based and intensive in-home counseling services for kids and their families. I have worked with people from the age of 2 to 102. You can expect a calm, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment. I will be an empathetic and safe place for you to share and explore your story while holding space for you to be your authentic self. I utilize a variety of different therapies, strategies, and perspectives including solution-focused, existential, cognitive behavioral, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral, attachment, behavior and mindfulness therapies. I believe in a person-centered and strengths based approach. My goal is to empower you and help you find the strengths within you. I look forward to working with you on your journey to a newfound beginning!

My focus is primarily couples counseling and men seeking career and/or dating counseling. About my approach: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! These words inspire us to look forward to a bright future, something we can count on as we move through life. But what happens when the life we hoped for slips out of our grasp? When our careers stall, or when our relationships go sour, or when we can’t shake off the effects of painful experiences? Since earning my MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, I have learned that each of us is full of talent and potential. We all have something important to contribute to the world. All we need is a way to discover the unique qualities, drives and passions that make us who we are. My approach to treatment is based on Solution Focused Brief Counseling. My goal is to help people find the strong, hopeful and capable parts of their personality and strengthen them in every day life. We do this first by exploring your key relationships and how they have impacted your life over time. Once we uncover your (not so hidden) strengths, we work together to improve your well being. My experience includes working with singles and couples, as well as men seeking career transition counseling. I have worked with people from all faiths, gender identity and sexual orientation. How I can be of service: If you looking for help: (1) building a better future, particularly in your career (2) overcoming relationship challenges, or (3) coming to terms with painful memories so you can move on, I look forward to working with you to help you meet those goals.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 4 years of professional work experience, specifically working with family systems, couples therapy, and individual therapy. Before that, I had experience in emergency settings and case management. As my role as a therapist, I feel very privileged to be a part of your journey and discovery in therapy. I believe in unconditional positive regard towards my clients, and adhere to the clinically-proven belief of the client-counselor relationship being the highest indicator of successful therapy- more so than any specific modality. I will curate your therapy to fit who you are as person. I have experience with multiple therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), SFBT (Solution-focused Brief Therapy), Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and more. I believe that no one therapy is perfect for one person, and will draw upon multiple modalities in your sessions. Your world view, identity, and beliefs are important, and it is my job to see you and your life through those perspectives. I practice trauma-informed care. I am an LGBTQ+ ally. If I make a mistake, I will acknowledge it, own it, and do my best to make it right. And, a little bit about myself, I am a certified Therapeutic Game Master through Geek Therapeutics – so you know I’m a nerd.
