Sun Prairie is known as the Groundhog Capital of the World. When life feels like it’s burying you, you can be like a groundhog and dig your way out. A counselor can be the claws that help you.

I started out working with adult mental health individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. During my internship, I was exposed to working with severely abused and neglected children.

Cristin Opall
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. In 2023 I discovered I 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 positive for a mutation 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.
