Grief counselors and therapists in Wisconsin

I am here to support you with a current problem, or one you have been dealing with for years.

Finding light in the darkest moments, and hope when it feels lost. For 25 years, Stacey has helped people rewrite their stories, move through pain, and reclaim their sense of self. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Stacey specializes in guiding individuals and couples through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship and family strain and even moments of deep hopelessness. Outside the therapy room, you’ll find her thrifting for hidden gems, traveling, cheering on her favorite sport teams or playing games—because joy and play are powerful parts of healing, too.

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. As a mother, I also understand that life can be complicated, and sometimes you need a place where you can be honest about what you’re carrying.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in the State of Wisconsin. During my career, I have over 10 years experience working with individuals experiencing grief, loss, and end of life concerns. My specialties also include; relationship/family issues, anger management, depression/anxiety issues, and life coaching personal development. I also have experience working with LGTBQ+ clients,

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!
