Blake Bertrand

Blake Bertrand

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.

Michelle Echols

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I specialize in supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. My journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by a fascination with the mind-body connection and a commitment to helping people manage complex challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with experience across high-acuity settings and diverse populations.

This background allows me to support individuals facing chronic mental health challenges, life transitions, and the lasting effects of trauma. I also integrate complementary techniques such as mindfulness, somatic exercises, movement, and visualization to enhance emotional regulation and overall well-being. I’m here to provide a safe, collaborative space where we can work together to build coping skills, uncover strengths, and move toward lasting clarity and growth.
