Kimberly Heine

Kimberly Heine

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Fort Atkinson, WI


I am a licensed Profession Counselor with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have been working in a variety of settings since 2012, providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career I have worked with a wide range of mental health diagnoses as well as substance use concerns. My clinical focus and the area I am most passionate about is trauma. I am nationally certified in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), with an additional training and clinical experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Aggression Replacement Training. My therapeutic style is compassionate, genuine, and highly individualized. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to determine what they need from therapy. Sometimes that means learning new skills, sometimes it means having a safe place to talk and be heard, and sometimes it means a little bit of everything. My goal is to help clients feel safe, supported, understood, and genuinely empowered, not managed. I truly believe that having a place where you can feel safe and relaxed is often the first step toward healing. When we have the opportunity to let our guard down and feel accepted for who we are, we can begin to process what we've been carrying and work toward letting go.

Outside of work, life is busy and lively with my husband, out two children and our collection of pets. We have two cats, two dogs, and a rabbit. Animals have always been one of my main coping skills and self care. I am happiest when surrounded by them. I am also usually happiest in the middle of a DIY project, even if I'm not entirely sure how it is going to turn out when I start.

Jeramie-Anne Kream

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sheboygan, WI


I’m a licensed therapist with experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, working with individuals navigating mood challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the everyday weight that can come with trying to hold everything together.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and honest space where you don’t have to filter or perform. I’ll meet you where you are, while also helping you gently look at patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. I value real conversations, consistency, and creating an environment where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up fully as yourself.

My goal is to help you build insight, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and genuinely yours.

What do you need right now to make things okay? Its likely that if you knew that answer, you would not be looking for help! Life feels so frustrating or hopeless sometimes; you want to feel good but just don’t know how. It is hard to know where to start. The truth is, you already have all the answers within yourself but those answers may be hiding, obscured by fears or depression. They might be buried deep within you, just waiting to be recognized and brought forth.

Sometimes the solutions are easier to find with someone who will help you sort through all the noise to find what is true and real. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma or grief, I can help you find the path that works for you --in order-- to move forward with your life. Together, we will sort through the messiness that is life to find those pieces that make sense.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I take a collaborative, client-centered approach grounded in curiosity, compassion, and practical support. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood without judgment, and explore what matters most to you at a pace that feels manageable.

I believe meaningful change comes from combining insight with action. Together, we’ll look at the patterns, experiences, and pressures shaping your life while also building concrete tools you can use between sessions. I tailor my work to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process, drawing on your strengths, values, culture, and goals.

Jamie-Lee Nietupski

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi! I’m Jamie and I’m really excited to be a part of your journey. I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in professional counseling. I have over four years of experience providing psychotherapy and about six years of experience working in corrections. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from so many different backgrounds and at very different points in their lives.

When it comes to therapy, I’m pretty down-to-earth. I’m supportive, empathetic, and I definitely believe there is room for humor in therapy too. I want our sessions to feel like a place where you can just be yourself. You don’t have to have the perfect words, know exactly what you’re feeling, or have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That’s what we’re here to work through together.

I believe one of the most important parts of counseling is meeting people where they are. Life gets messy, and sometimes we just need someone in our corner who will listen, support us, challenge us when we need it, and remind us of the strengths we may have forgotten we have.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you, hearing your story, celebrating your wins (even the little ones!), and helping you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.
