Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Eau Claire, WI

I’m Niajcia, a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to providing compassionate, individualized care to children, adolescents, and young adults. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work through life’s challenges.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2017, followed by my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from UW–Madison in 2019. Since completing my graduate degree, I have continued to expand my clinical training and experience in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), suicide prevention and intervention, and adoption and foster care.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I work with clients to develop healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, build self-awareness, and recognize their individual strengths. I also value collaboration with parents and caregivers when appropriate to support meaningful progress beyond therapy.

I believe every client has a unique story, and therapy should meet them where they are.

Healing starts with being heard.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use? You don't have to navigate these heavy burdens alone. Whether you are dealing with painful memories from the past, managing daily stress, or trying to break painful cycles, healing is possible. I specialize in helping individuals regain control, process trauma, and build a fulfilling life grounded in strength and peace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than ten years experience providing services to individuals age 4 to 60+, with my primary practice focus working with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I am a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to my clinical licensure. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, ADHD, etc. I have also worked with individuals with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities in addition to their mental health diagnoses.

If you are here, looking through these many profiles, it’s a lot. You may be searching for support, encouragement, understanding, and finding a way forward. I sincerely hope you find who you need. I offer assistance in North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. We may be a good fit if you are struggling with anxiety, stress, sleep, grief, losses, trauma, or transitions in your life. I offer clinical assistance with the perspective of lived experience. I understand reaching out can feel very uncomfortable, but I hope you keep reaching out for support.

I am a nurturer by habit, and I listen closely to each person’s unique story. Together, we can make sense of what you have experienced and identify satisfying solutions, so you feel heard, held, and more confident moving forward. Acceptance and gratitude guide my therapeutic stance, while hope helps us keep moving ahead. I will meet you with compassion, respect, and genuine care throughout our work together.
