I am a licensed professional counselor currently living in Wisconsin with over 15 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. l help clients who are struggling with emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues from young adult and to seniors. The people I help are challenged by anxiety, depression, ADHD, troubled relationships, separation, and divorce, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma, stress management and social isolation. My clients have described me as energetic, genuine, creative, empathetic and present. There is never a one-size-fits-all treatment strategy. Each person deserves individualized therapy that is tailored to their specific needs.

I am holistically driven, and believe in a body, mind, spirit approach to helping you be your best self. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. We live in a culture that is built on individual determinism which can make it hard to ask for help. It takes courage to reach out and get support. You are here and that is a good first step. If you are ready to take this further I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

SCHEDULING: Try to schedule in my open slots but I try to schedule people based on your best times and dates, so when we are matching we will find your best time. I am not available before 10 am or after 6 pm but I am available on some Saturdays. My name is Lynet Uttal, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. When working together, my hope is that you will become more comfortable with yourself. Maybe you want to talk about a problem you are having right now (like a relationship that is making you feel bad) or you want to talk about something from your past that keeps hurting you. We can also work on a decision you have to make or motivation to get moving on a project (like writing a book or losing weight/practicing a healthier lifestyle). Some people are looking for purpose or meaning in life--we can also work on that. As a social worker, I also pay attention to the conditions of your life: Do you have enough money? Do you like where you live? Are you in the right job? In the right relationship? Do you need to change your career? Move to a different part of the country? Do you want help identifying and applying for support services? Are you struggling with cultural differences with the people in your life? Are you caring for an aging parent? In addition to teaching you some techniques (like how to manage anxiety or depression), I will also work with you to understand the cause of the discomfort and ways to understand it. My style of doing therapy is to carefully listen to you and to ask questions so that both you and I can develop a deep understanding of what is bothering you and how you want to improve/change your life. If you want, I can also provide some coaching for how you might change the way you do things or interact with people so that you are more comfortable with yourself and your lifestyle. We will do a lot of talking and find answers that work for you. I have experience helping people with changing jobs, getting fired, deciding to leave relationships, how to start relationships in a healthy way, parent-adult children relationships, learning how to present yourself calmly even when inside you feel like a tornado. I also like to facilitate thinking about regrets to turn them into stories you can live with instead of continue to be tortured by the ones you have. I have experience working with people with many different types of concerns and levels of experience with therapy. I enjoy helping people figure out what is going on in their lives and finding more peace with themselves. My work with each person is different because I tailor how we work to who you are and what you are grappling with. I do interpreter-mediated therapy which means we use an interpreter because I speak English and the client doesn't. I have worked with Latine people, Muslims, people from India, Hmong, and lots of people who are parents but they are US born children of immigrants.. I am myself the daughter of a Japanese immigrant and I am really interested in the conflicts that happen beecause people live between two cultures. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Ashley Lynch and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin. I have been working in the field of mental health since 2012 in various settings and roles. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from George Williams College in 2016. My first exposure to assisting people with mental health was during my undergraduate program where I worked with individuals in group homes. I found conversing with the clients and talking through their struggles, passions, and goals so rewarding that it led me to pursue my masters degree specifically with the goal of clinical counseling. During my post-graduate work I interned at the Alzheimer's Association where I would do short term therapy and crisis intervention with caregivers. From there I graduated and worked as the facility director for a senior care facility. I had the opportunity to move on from there and discovered a new passion in providing clinical care to college aged students. I approach clinical sessions with an empathetic disposition and make it my goal to meet my clients where they are at. In session, I work with my clients to set up a treatment plan that they feel comfortable with and establish goals that are attainable. My main areas of focus have been anxiety/panic attacks, depression, end of life/hospice/caregiving, self-esteem, motivation, and grief.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. 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 sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I have significant experience working with adults and families in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem/identity, and relationship issues. I work one-on-one with clients to identify relevant life issues and coordinate specific, goal-oriented objectives for our work together. These goals are reassessed and modified as needed on an ongoing basis to maintain therapeutic focus. I practice using a trauma-informed, non-judgemental approach which utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidenced-based techniques to create individualized plans of care for each client. Starting therapy can be an intimidating process, but I would like to make it as easy as possible. I am happy to address any questions or concerns that you might have, or discuss what our work together might look like - all you need to do is ask!

The wheels are spinning – in your head and your life. Overthinking, indecisiveness, and fear of making mistakes keep your mind and body on edge. It’s overwhelming – to the point that you feel beat up and defeated most of the time. It also makes you feel like you’re an imposter – a fraud. You know you have talents and that God put you on this earth for a reason, but it feels hidden and elusive. And even if you knew what it was, you wonder if you would ever measure up or be good enough. “Maybe I’m just broken” is a familiar refrain. If only you knew what to do or had someone to guide you, perhaps things would be different. I help individuals like you who feel lost in their identity and purpose, burdened by overthinking, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. Through a faith-centered approach and using a variety of clinical theories, I can guide you in processing your emotions, reframing limiting beliefs, and building unshakeable confidence. Our work together is more than just healing - it's about rediscovering your true self, aligning with your spiritual values, and stepping boldly into a renewed sense of purpose, peace, and empowerment. I earned my Master of Science degree in professional clinical mental health counseling at University of WI-Oshkosh. Prior to having my own private practice, I worked as a therapist, dual-diagnosis therapist, and crisis worker serving diverse populations of all ages and with a wide variety of concerns. I have specialized training in DBT, CBT, EMDR, hypnotherapy, IFS, ACT, ADHD, anxiety, Christian life coaching, and have worked as a certified integrative health coach. I have specialized in somatic healing techniques and neuroscience as well. I utilize a strength-based, compassion-led, eclectic mix of therapies based on client needs. I believe in educating clients to help them gain knowledge and feel empowered to make changes and to grow and in treating the whole person – mind, heart, body, and spirit.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of experience in the mental health field. I have been called compassionately challenging with a validating approach that aids forward movement from emotional stuck points. I am empathetic and use well placed humor to facilitate the self-reflection process. I have extensive experience working across a vast spectrum of conditions and challenge areas given my experience working in community mental health settings. I have utilized both individual and group interventions to assist people with navigating life changes, stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, addictions and trauma. I have training in various modalities including (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (DBT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, (MI) Motivational Interviewing, (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, and (ACT) Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. These techniques allow me to approach my interactions with a flexible style based on your values to build a life worth living. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Availability is an important factor in selecting a therapist that can meet your scheduling needs. I offer live sessions via chat, video, and phone on weekday evenings and some weekends. Another feature of this service is messaging that is available to you at anytime. I strive to respond to messages within 24 hours in between live sessions. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling & happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey!
