Houa Yang

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • La Crosse, WI


I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions so they can feel more confident, balanced, and connected to themselves. I also enjoy supporting individuals navigating cultural, identity, and multicultural concerns who want a space where they feel seen and understood. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can help you gain clarity, build healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe each person already has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for change. My role isn't to tell you who to be, but to work alongside you as we build on the tools you already have, develop new skills, and navigate life's challenges together. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to grow and move toward the life you want.

Lynn Zima

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I work to provide you a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to work. Each of us are unique and complex. I see my job as helping you to develop tools and skills to deal with your complex life. I am able to help you in the areas of anxiety, depression, motivation, substance use concerns, self-esteem and confidence, grief/loss, and adapting to life changes, to name a few. My goal is to be approachable, accepting, and act as a guide through the process. Much of our power to be happy or unhappy depends on our ability to put our experiences in perspective and find our own path to heal.

We will focus on the strengths you have and how I can help you grow through changing self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work together to identify your goals, what the barriers are to moving forward, and developing needed skills to navigate through or around barriers. We are all human and at times need the help from an objective party to get through our struggles and to grow stronger!

Baljinder Hahn

Baljinder Hahn

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi, I’m Baljinder Hahn, M.A., LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I earned my B.S. in Psychology and M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. My background includes private practice since 2018 and my recent work as an Employee Assistance Counselor with Aurora Health Care.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and family concerns, workplace challenges, parenting pressures, chronic illness, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women and women’s issues, couples, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My counseling style is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and person-centered. I believe therapy should be a safe place where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I meet you where you are while helping you recognize the strengths you already possess.

I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhealthy thought and behavior patterns, develop healthier perspectives, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and build practical coping skills. With couples, I focus on improving communication, resolving conflict, understanding recurring patterns, and rebuilding connection.

For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling, respectfully integrating faith with evidence-based therapy.

My goal is to provide a supportive relationship while also helping you create real change. Together, we will identify what is getting in your way, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

Are you constantly asking yourself “what if,” worrying about what other people think, or feeling triggered by situations and relationships that seem difficult to understand? Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, or relationship challenges and aren’t quite sure what is causing you to feel this way. I’m Holly Doughty, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR and DBT therapist who works with children, teens, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, relationships, depression, and chronic pain, and I have experience helping clients work through difficult patterns, emotional distress, and life experiences that can feel overwhelming.
