Self Esteem Therapists in Saint Francis, WI

My name is Justine, and I am a mental health therapist who provides online counseling to individuals over 18 who reside in Wisconsin. I have provided therapy for a variety of individuals struggling with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating disorder, self esteem issues, relationship problems, trauma history, difficulties managing stress, etc. I have been working in the helping profession for over 10 years and truly enjoy the work I do. I believe in creating a safe space for people to fully express themselves and their struggles so we can work together to enhance quality of life.

I enjoy working with adults to aid in self-growth by working on overcoming daily and life stressors, learning and breaking unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, as well as managing self-esteem issues, anxiety and impulsivity. Through active listening and support, my treatment philosophy involves helping clients improve their well-being by processing, building self-awareness, and developing tools to cope and manage their issues and concerns. My empathetic nature helps clients build trust to focus on and work toward achieving their goals. I consider myself a child-free, LGBTQIA+, and sex worker- affirming therapist.

Children and adolescents often struggle verbalizing their feelings which may lead to problems in school, difficulties at home, or in developing relationships. My clients are often experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, struggling in school, or developing appropriate social skills. In providing a safe space to explore and express themselves through art making, I support clients in developing positive coping skills, building confidence, and identifying their strengths within the context of a therapeutic relationship.

“A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP” (Tao Te Ching) I am a National Board Certified Counselor specialized in Evidence Based Treatment. My treatment philosophy is to help Adolescents, Adults and families manage stressful life situations, relational stressors, embrace change, acceptance and meet challenging goals.

Beginning therapy can often be difficult and may carry a host of fears, uncertainties, and challenges. I believe that it can also be a life changing journey that can help explore those difficult pieces and peel those layers that have kept us from being our authentic selves. My clients are often young adults, parents, those starting a new phase in their life, or anyone navigating the process of individuation and creating change. My clients are often looking to create healthy boundaries and relationships with themselves and others. Many are healing from past trauma, toxic relationships, or entering a new phase in life.

Therapy is a highly personal and distinctive process for each person. My purpose is to meet you where you are in life, offering a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal, and grow. We will work together to identify where you feel stuck, explore your strengths and what brings your life meaning, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself individually and in relation to others. In our work together, you can expect a collaborative and empowering experience. I am pleased to be part of Therayology, a mental health clinic focused on evidence-based practices.

Many of us struggle daily with issues like anxiety, stress, depression, anger or just feeling misunderstood. We may feel stuck and ashamed at our inability to just will ourselves into being "better". This internal suffering is so common, but the good news is we all possess an internal capacity for change. It hurts to feel "stuck", but making changes can also be hard to do on our own. I have years of experience working with folks with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, stress and other personal challenges. I am specially trained and committed to supporting clients in the LGBTQ community and immigrant populations.

Making impactful, long-lasting change can be difficult. Draining mental health symptoms, substance use, and trauma can contribute to making positive lasting change feel like an impossible and daunting task. I understand the importance of wanting to find that immediate relief, as well as identifying and treating the root of the problem. An essential part of our work is exploring the past and making connections between the past and present. I enjoy getting to know my clients as individuals, assisting them in their journey of learning about themselves, and helping them learn the skills they need to live a more meaningful life.

My focus is working with neurodivergent adults. I provide help with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, stress, life changes, and/or self-esteem. When the effort to manage on your own becomes too much, professional guidance can help move the process along more efficiently. Many people benefit tremendously from having a sounding board, someone who can help you see your situation from other angles. Therapy takes this one step further, providing research-based interventions that are tailored to your unique situation and personality.

Are you looking for a change? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? I am here to help! I am a trauma-informed therapist that uses CBT and Solution-Focused approaches. I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field, with both children and adults, and would love the opportunity to meet with you! Call me today to schedule your free consultation.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in the Mequon/Milwaukee area. However, I can meet with anyone who lives in Wisconsin via teletherapy.

I also work with adults of all ages who seek guidance with personal growth.

Are you struggling with adjusting to change, coping with stress or navigating conflict? As a result, has this left you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Has shame, guilt or negative self-talk been impacting you? Do you need help creating boundaries with your partner, family, or friends? As a therapist, I believe in the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” My role is to help you explore areas of concern, develop coping skills, and gain insight about yourself. A primary focus of my practice is teaching self-compassion to help fill up your cup when life is feeling too difficult to navigate on your own.
