Congratulations on taking the first step towards a better you. I believe that working towards good mental health is an investment in yourself. I want to help you feel like a million bucks! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a school psychologist with over 20 years of experience.
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.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can feel safe exploring difficult experiences while building great self- awareness and lasting change. My approach is grounded in relational and experiential therapy, while also integrating evidence- based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. I value authenticity, curiosity, and helping clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful and empowering ways.
I am an older adult with a counseling degree based on several decades of life experiences. I understand you because I have probably 'been there' in my own life before. I accurately empathize with you and give you treatment pathways that worked for me. I accept all types of life's problems and because I have gone through divorce and the loss of a child, I specialize in grief counseling. I have a specialty in foster amd adoption therapy. I realize that counseling is hard work on the part of the client, and as your therapist I commit to helping you seek deliverance of the past and cheer you on to the future.
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 licensed in both mental health and substance use treatment in the state of Wisconsin, and have spent over 20 years working with a wide range of people and concerns in many different settings. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to offer a grounded, respectful space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported at your own pace.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I am originally from Chicago, and I bring both my lived experience and professional training into the work I do. I attended the University of Michigan Ann Arbor for undergraduate and graduate schools. I have a strong clinical background in mental health, working with individuals across a range of experiences and challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I look forward to working with you on your journey.
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.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision, a Master's in Professional Counseling, a Masters in Health Care Administration, and a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Nurse.
Hello! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving individuals of all ages throughout Wisconsin. I believe mental health care should feel approachable, supportive, and free from judgment. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or returning to care, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what's on your mind.
