Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. Finding the right therapist is important!

I work with individuals as young as 3 years old and adults. I enjoy working with all ages to support individuals throughout their journey.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, and parenting strategies, but I have extensive experience with various mental health disorders.

As a parent of two, I understand the challenges and joys of everyday life. I'd be honored to help you, your child, or your family navigate difficult times.

I graduated from UW-Stout in 2020 and had a crash course of therapy during the pandemic. This has allowed me to become a more empatheic and passionate therapist who works hard to support clients through all of life's changes. I specialize in couples and relational work, but also work with indiviudals who are looking to navigate grief, anxiety, life changes, and stress. I support and research women's health, fertility/infertility and treat perinatal mood disorders.

The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

Hello! My name is Cindy Beishir. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 18 years experience providing therapeutic mental health care to adults, families, children and couples. My approach is non-judgmental focusing on providing a safe space where you can be yourself. I do not expect people to do things "my way" but rather do things the way that works best for them in their situation. While I specialize in trauma and anxiety, I enjoy working with people who are struggling with day to day issues and need more support in addition to working with people to begin building healthy boundaries while increasing self-esteem & self-worth.

I’m a licensed therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I work with people from diverse backgrounds and support clients navigating family dynamics, sexuality, cultural identity, workplace stress, attachment concerns, and major life transitions. My background includes work with addictions, men’s issues, fatherhood concerns, social anxiety, self-esteem, and other complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I’m committed to creating a compassionate, supportive environment where you can better understand your experiences, develop meaningful insight, and work toward positive change.

As a former Division I track and field athlete, I know what it's like to push yourself to the limit — and what happens when the pressure starts to feel like too much. The expectations, the constant performance, the feeling that you have to be "on" all the time.

I also know what it feels like to not quite fit in, to question who you are outside of the roles you've been playing. That's what led me to this work — a deep understanding that sometimes, the hardest race you run is the one inside your own mind.

My approach is rooted in real experience and genuine care. I create a space where you can drop the mask, breathe, and start figuring out what feels right for you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years working in the social work field helping families with life challenges. My professional background is working in child welfare, medical social work, veteran mental health and private practice. I am also certified in Trauma-Informed-Care and as a First Responder Counselor, allowing me to provide specialized support to individuals who have experienced trauma. I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, respected and understood. While I provide compassion and support, I am also an active therapist who will challenge unhelpful patterns when necessary. I believe growth happens when we balance acceptance with accountability.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from George Williams College and hold licensure in both Illinois and Wisconsin. My clinical experience spans work with diverse populations, including teens and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. I am trained in several evidence‐based therapeutic modalities—CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR—which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and support meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide individual therapy as well as family and couples work. I value helping people move through life’s stressors, strengthen their coping skills, and recognize the progress they make toward their goals.

If you have questions about the services and supports available to you, your family, or your loved ones, I’m here to help. I’d also be glad to share more about what I enjoy most in the therapeutic process and how we can work together to build a healthier, more grounded life.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual ADHD therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, and chronic follow-through difficulties.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time.

This foundation allows me to help individuals, couples, and families address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Do you want to take ownership over your life and regain your power? Are you ready to learn how to be vulnerable and find your inner strength? You are brilliant and resilient, so your story does not have to end the way it began! As a clinician, I believe it is important to meet clients where they are in their lives and assist individuals who have a vision of where they see themselves going. I want to be your copilot as you construct a new path for your life. If anger, anxiety, fear, your past, or depression are weighing you down, I want to help you carry your weight.

You might be carrying something that feels too heavy to put into words, like a past that keeps surfacing, anxiety that will not quiet, or a relationship with substances you are finally ready to rethink. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to have it all figured out to start. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Wisconsin facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I am committed to seeing you as more than your hardest chapter.
