In 1900, Shorewood seceded from Milwaukee to create a suburb originally known as East Milwaukee. Just as the people of Shorewood at that time felt the need for separation, so too do some people have separation and loss in their lives. Separation, loss, and feelings of hopelessness aren’t things you have to deal with alone – sometimes, you might need help to work through those issues.

Luckily, counselors in the Shorewood area can help. These licensed and confidential therapists can provide support and guidance to get you through the toughest times in your life. Contact a counselor today.
