Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move

forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent

over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who

are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and

depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with

individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and

community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.

Jeanine Rounds

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Starting therapy takes courage, and I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, discouraged, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. Wherever you are in your process, my goal is to meet you there with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, eating concerns, stress, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and major life transitions. I believe that healing is not about becoming a different person. It is about reconnecting with yourself, understanding your patterns, and building the tools to move through life with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and gently challenged when needed. I bring both compassion and practical guidance to therapy, helping you better understand what is keeping you stuck while also creating realistic steps toward change.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eau Claire, WI


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.

Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.

With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.

My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.

I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.
