LGBT therapists in Eau Claire, WI

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.

I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.

Great to meet you!

As your therapist I strive to create a warm, safe, engaging space where we can explore your strengths and build a do-able plan to help get you through the tough spots. My primary goal is to collaborate with you and build a strong working relationship to best help you meet your goals. I am licensed to practice as a Therapist in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Hello, my name is Ashleigh Dowis, and I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field, 15 years as a mental health professional. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and care. I specialize in working with women who are in transitional periods of their lives and helping them reach their goals. I have experience working with a variety of presenting problems and symptoms including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment to big life changes and with traumatic injuries.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked within the mental health field for the past four years. With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English and a Masters of Science in Counselor Education, I have experience with developing strong and trusting relationships, helping individuals process their emotions, and blending therapeutic approaches for creative solutions.

I have experience working with a range of clients including children who are five and older, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings from clinical to school-based, and feel comfortable and confident in creating an environment in any space to help individuals feel comfortable and promote optimal growth and well-being. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, life transitions, stress, and eating disorders as well as providing a setting for clients to learn skills and insights to manage and regulate their emotions.

I serve a broad population of clients coping with crisis, trauma, faith-based issues, relationship and marital issues, substance use and addictions, anger management and emotional dysregulation, career decisions, self-esteem and self-efficacy skill development, and other challenges clients are facing.

My philosophy is meeting clients where they are, without bias or judgment. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to walk beside, providing the tools and techniques to support finding solutions and healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach to tailor services to meet the clients' needs. I work with clients from a holistic approach.

Hi, I’m Kylie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families, with a special passion for supporting children, adolescents, and the people who care about them.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. My goal is to meet clients where they are, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and create a space where healing and growth feel possible. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, we’ll work together to ensure your care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My approach is collaborative and I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, autism, or life changes.

When working with children and families, I believe lasting change happens when the whole family feels supported. I enjoy helping families strengthen communication, better understand one another, and build on the strengths they already have.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Iowa and my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. My experience includes both private practice and nonprofit settings, working primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, listening to music, watching anime, playing video games, and being outdoors. These interests often help me connect with the children, teens, and young adults I work with and remind me that genuine connection is at the heart of meaningful therapy.

I work to provide you a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to work. Each of us are unique and complex. I see my job as helping you to develop tools and skills to deal with your complex life. I am able to help you in the areas of anxiety, depression, motivation, substance use concerns, self-esteem and confidence, grief/loss, and adapting to life changes, to name a few. My goal is to be approachable, accepting, and act as a guide through the process. Much of our power to be happy or unhappy depends on our ability to put our experiences in perspective and find our own path to heal.

We will focus on the strengths you have and how I can help you grow through changing self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work together to identify your goals, what the barriers are to moving forward, and developing needed skills to navigate through or around barriers. We are all human and at times need the help from an objective party to get through our struggles and to grow stronger!

Welcome! I specialize in providing care through evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines compassion, collaboration, and creativity to support healing and growth in a safe and affirming space.

I provide a welcoming environment for individuals of all identities. I have specialized knowledge in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and offering education on harm reduction practices.

I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions so they can feel more confident, balanced, and connected to themselves. I also enjoy supporting individuals navigating cultural, identity, and multicultural concerns who want a space where they feel seen and understood. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can help you gain clarity, build healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe each person already has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for change. My role isn't to tell you who to be, but to work alongside you as we build on the tools you already have, develop new skills, and navigate life's challenges together. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to grow and move toward the life you want.
