Tammy Weinke
Welcome to BetterHelp! I know how hard it can be to seek counseling, so know that you have taken a very important first step. My name is Tammy Weinke, and I am licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Wisconsin. I have over 7 years of experience in counseling, and over 10 working in the mental health field. I have experience and training in many areas of mental health, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting issues, life transitions, relationship issues, women’s issues, and Christian counseling. I have my Master of Arts degree in Counseling/ Psychology from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. I believe that we are each gifted, and each wounded. Sadness, life meaning, stress, anxiety, conflicts, grief, health issues, emptiness- no one escapes the extraordinary challenges of being human. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, nonjudgmental relationship in which people feel validated and empowered to heal, to set goals, make changes, overcome difficulties, embrace their true selves, and cope with life’s many challenges. I use an eclectic blend of techniques to provide caring and evidence-based therapy. In addition to traditional Talk Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I use other techniques that work on a deeper level; some of these techniques are drawn from Cognitive Behavioral, Person-centered, and Strength-based therapies. I also offer Christian counseling for those interested. I would be honored to be your counselor, come along side you, and work together toward your goals!

Rachelle Belott Filipiak
Hello! I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. My skill-set has been molded working in a domestic violence shelter for women, college counseling center, medium-security correctional facility for men, and providing outpatient mental health services for individuals of all ages and struggles. I take a modern, holistic, and interpersonal approach incorporating elements from different theories depending on the person and the situation. Life is hard, and triggers are unavoidable. Change is unpleasant in the short term, but can improve the quality of our lives in the long-term. The goal of therapy is to identify the obstacles and learn ways to change our thoughts and behaviors resulting in less emotional distress. My end goal is to empower people to confidently resolve their struggles independent of mental health professionals in the future once they refine their skills. I offer a safe, confidential presence and am eager to offer support and guidance on your journey. You've already done the work to survive; now let's find a way to thrive!

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Arena, Wisconsin can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you.
