Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Eau Claire, WI

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

Are you struggling with managing stress and anger? Do you feel overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks or have trouble falling asleep because you can't turn your brain "off"? I strive to support each client through empathy, education and humor. I am passionate about working with clients to help process challenges, to gain skills or provide some extra support during life's transitions. I have worked with all ages in hospital settings, outpatient, addiction treatment and community settings. My specialties include anxiety disorders, ADHD and substance use concerns

If you're navigating a life transition, or dealing with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or depression, I'd love to work with you. I'm currently accepting older teens and adults for telehealth appointments, and I bring a wide range of evidence-based tools to our work together.

A little about my background: I served in the US Army before earning my Bachelor's and Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, residential care, and outpatient settings. I take my work seriously, but also try to keep things light-hearted when necessary. I'm pretty laid back, and I think that comes through pretty quickly once we start talking. I have also learned to cope and coexist ADHD, have experienced major depressive episodes, and overcome struggles with OCD.

Pahoua Xiong is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Pahoua can help clients manage stress, depression, burnout and anxiety. She helps women with career and family challenges.

Therapy is about you. Like you, it is highly individualized: You’re the boss. My job as therapist is to guide you to where you want to go.

I am a person-centered, trauma-responsive, strength-based therapist. I do not judge. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

You nned a good therapist - someone who will listen without judgement and someone who can help you recognize and use your own strengths to resolve issues.

I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

About Me

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of serving the Manitowoc and Sheboygan communities through Lakeshore Community Health, now Noble Community Clinics, providing comprehensive care in both primary care and behavioral health settings.

My clinical passion lies in helping individuals struggling with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the effects of trauma. I have extensive experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, and I am committed to supporting patients through recovery with a compassionate, structured, and evidence-based approach.

I believe healthcare should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses. Physical health, mental wellness, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors all play an important role in overall health. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their care.

As the founder of Mind & Body Renew, I combine traditional medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help identify and address the root causes of illness. I am passionate about partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans that promote healing, long-term wellness, and a better quality of life.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Wisconsin in 1999 after my marriage and have proudly called this community home ever since. My husband and I have raised four wonderful children and are blessed with nine grandchildren who bring tremendous joy to our lives. When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and spoiling our two beloved fur babies.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better health, healing, and renewal.

I'm currently accepting new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of support? Together, we can address your mental health, challenges with work, school, or relationships. I help teens and adults make sense of their experiences, recognize their strengths, and develop coping strategies. Clients describe me as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. I offer a supportive space to share, reflect, and heal. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, listening to music, exercising, and watching sports.

Feel free to give me a call and we can set up a free consultation or schedule a session. I look forward to working with you!

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.
