Trauma impedes our natural ability as humans to be able to identify and reach goals, and connect and form relationships with others. I know that this can all be worked through with a positive therapeutic relationship and guidance to rediscovering the inner knowing you possess about what you truly need to thrive. My personal approach to therapy is what allows for others to connect with me- I am laid-back, direct, funny, caring, and most of all, nonjudgemental. I provide that open space of comfort that is needed to be your authentic self.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing telehealth therapy in Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. I have over 6 years of experience across residential treatment, outpatient programs, Community Mental Health, private practice, and clinical leadership roles, and I am currently a solo private practice provider. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. I offer a supportive, professional space for all clients and welcome individuals of any or no faith background. I am also open to integrating a Christian perspective when desired.

Welcome! I am Steve Wille, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience specializing in the unique mental health needs of college students, young adults, and teenagers. I am the founder of Ascend Mentoring and Counseling, a practice built to serve as a supportive launchpad for individuals navigating high-pressure transitions, identity development, and the overwhelming weight of expectation. College and early adulthood are times of incredible growth, but they can also bring intense anxiety, stress, and moments of feeling completely lost. Whether you are a student-athlete struggling with performance anxiety, a young adult trying to define who you want to be, or someone simply trying to find your footing in a new chapter of life, my goal is to help you build real-world resilience. My therapeutic style is relaxed, warm, adaptive, and collaborative—often utilizing a healthy dose of humor to keep our work grounded and human. I draw from Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to ensure you leave sessions not just feeling heard, but equipped with actionable strategies. Ascend Mentoring and Counseling is a strictly confidential, identity-affirming, and safe space for all individuals, including LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities. Let's move forward with confidence.

Life can be an absolute shit show sometimes. You deserve not only relief from that, but also the space to thrive. I can help walk with you through the thick of it. My therapeutic style is grounded in being empathetic, compassionate, and nonjudgemental. I work with clients collaboratively, creating a plan together based on your individual goals and concerns.

I started Influential Connections Counseling, after having worked 11 years with adults and families in the human service areas of abuse, neglect, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, relationship challenges, and various mental health diagnoses. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified social worker. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. A relationship that relies on trust, connection, empathy, and mutual respect. It can take time to build the therapeutic relationship. I often describe therapy as a space to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Life is challenging, ever changing, and beautiful. Whether life's changes are positive or negative, it influences our mental health, our relationships, and our physical bodies. The therapeutic process happens in session and in your daily life as you build self-awareness and enhance skills to obtain your goal(s).

I am so happy you are here! I am dually licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC) and have been practicing as a therapist since 2021. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they want to change but haven’t been able to shift on their own. My role is to help you develop a deeper understanding of your inner self so you can better recognize patterns, emotions, and needs that may be driving your thoughts and behaviors. From that place of awareness, we focus on self-growth and healing by building insight, emotional regulation skills, and healthier ways of coping.

My goal is to create a space filled with healing, care, and compassion, where you feel safe and supported. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges of college life—whether it’s managing stress, handling homesickness, or finding ways to feel balanced. Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to in order to get back on track and feel at peace. My purpose is to support you so you can truly enjoy this time and feel confident about where you’re headed. Let's chat!

My name is Jamie Velvikis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Certified Social Worker (CSW). I enjoy using Strength Based therapies to help clients reach their goals. I have worked in Human Services for 20 plus years. My approach to therapy is a client centered approach. I am an open and active listener who wants to learn more about you and your entire life situation, so we can work together to help you reach your goals.

You didn’t end up here because you’re weak, you ended up here because carrying everything alone most likely became too heavy. I work with teens (15+), adults, and couples to break out of patterns around self-esteem, trauma, substance use, and relationships. Therapy with me is warm and honest and I aim to create a space where you feel safe and supported yet challenged to confront what keeps you stuck. I became a therapist because I’ve been on the other side of struggle and I know how powerful it can be to feel truly understood. In particular, I relate well with teens who are struggling with self-esteem, school struggles, and stress related to their future. Please reach out today if you are looking for someone who truly “gets it”.

Hi! I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked a lot with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

You don’t have to stay stuck between who you were and who you want to be. I help youth and adults heal from trauma, depression, anxiety and a multitude of different life issues through compassionate, culturally responsive therapy. Together, we focus on understanding your story, building emotional awareness, and developing practical tools to restore balance and confidence. With more than a decade in mental health and six years in clinical practice, I’ve learned that true healing happens when structure meets compassion. I work with children and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges with curiosity and courage. My approach blends practical skill-building with genuine connection, creating a space where you grow.

I am passionate and sincere about providing my clients the space and safety needed to feel understood and supported. I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, pulled in too many directions and are looking for a way to get “unstuck.” I can facilitate a journey of self discovery and help to evoke deeper self-acceptance and self-compassion. I work collaboratively to help clients create solutions and small changes that add up to larger transformation, insight, wisdom, healthier behaviors and greater well being. I provide care that is strengths-based, solutions-focused, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I employ a variety of approaches- unique to each client- while promoting healthy coping strategies, and evidence-based skills that support clients in times of crisis, loss, low self esteem, addiction, anxiety, and interpersonal stress. Being human is extremely difficult. The responsibilities of life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we simply need to be heard in order to access our innate wisdom and capacity for growth. If you are looking for empathy, compassion, understanding, and want to create a strategy for healthy, lasting change... please reach out.

Hi, I'm very down to earth and create a welcoming and warm space to come as you are. I will assist you in feeling relief quickly.

We might talk through your experiences, use guided imagery, or practice connecting with your body.

I work with college students and adults who are dealing with the pressure of academics, social dynamics, and the big transitions that come with this stage of life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I’m here to help. Together, we can explore how to manage the demands of school, relationships, and future goals, while also addressing any underlying beliefs or past experiences that may be affecting you. What is your communication style? I focus on creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment built on trust and respect. Depending on what feels right for you, I can offer quiet reflection or take a more proactive, coaching-style approach. My goal is to adapt to your unique needs, making sure our time together feels collaborative and safe so you can explore your challenges at your own pace. How do you approach goal setting with clients? When we set goals, we’ll look at three main areas: what’s happening in your life right now, how past experiences or beliefs may be shaping your current behaviors, and what you want to achieve in the future. We’ll break things down into manageable steps, adjusting along the way as needed to help you move toward your goals, whether that’s feeling more confident, managing stress better, or making big life decisions. What should clients expect during a first session with you? In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other. You can share about your college experience, relationships, and what’s currently causing stress or frustration. I’ll listen closely, and together we’ll identify some initial goals to work on. By the end of the session, I hope you’ll feel heard and leave with a sense of hope and direction for what’s next. Tell us about your journey to becoming a therapist. I’ve always been sensitive to emotions and found art and creativity to be healing when I was younger. During college, I struggled with panic attacks, and that experience led me to discover the power of therapy and healing techniques. My journey inspired me to help others going through similar challenges. Now, I combine traditional therapy with mindfulness and energy healing, using what I’ve learned to help college students like you find balance, heal, and grow.

Feel like you know all the coping skills, made all the connections from past events to current behaviors, but find yourself still struggling to get out of that negative mindset? Ethereal Embrace Counseling came from my own journey in struggling to find a counselor that I not only connected with, but also approached therapy differently. I love to work with individuals who are also looking for something different in their treatment. A focus not only on the past and ways to "fix" you, but a focus on embracing you and your truest self!

Healing takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth sessions across Wisconsin, and I specialize in supporting college students and young adults who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. My own healing journey has shaped the way I show up in therapy: real, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I know what it’s like to face pain and choose growth, and I create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to make lasting change. Life can feel overwhelming. Between academic pressures, relationships, family expectations, and figuring it all out, it’s easy to feel weighed down or anxious. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. This is a collaborative space where your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and your growth is the priority. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), combined with mindfulness, body awareness, and practical coping strategies. I help young adults break free from old patterns, process what hurts, and build confidence, clarity, and resilience—supporting healing on every level: mind, body, and spirit. I bring authenticity, empathy, and even a touch of humor to sessions so you can feel safe, challenged, and supported as you grow. In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin shaping a personalized plan that works for your life. Flexible telehealth sessions make it easy to start from anywhere—dorm, apartment, or home. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and empowerment. Whether it’s anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a turning point—and I’ll be here to walk alongside you. Your next chapter starts here.
