Breana Kirch ~ APSW, MSW

My name is Breana (she/her), and I received my Masters in Social Work at Winona State University.

I have over 2 years’ experience doing behavioral therapy with children with autism as well as experience as a crisis worker. I approach therapy from a trauma informed perspective as a collaboration with you to work on finding healing within yourself. My therapy practice is informed by theories behind polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and art therapy. I work with children and adolescents ages 10+ and adults. I also have interests in growing and learning about relationship and sex therapy.

 

Carol Johnson MS, LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Wisconsin. I also have a license for teaching, school counseling, and an administrative director of instruction from the Department of Public Instruction. 

As a therapist I enjoy individuals, couples, and families. I have experience with women’s issues, depression, anxiety, loss/grief, stress management, and parenting. One of my gifts is working with children. 

I have had extensive experience in the school setting as an elementary teacher and elementary/middle school counselor. Team building, groups, and relationship building with adults and students were required of me. I served as a resource for parents and taught parenting classes. I have done adult teaching especially in the area of stress management using a holistic approach. 

My transition out of education started when I went through a divorce and became a single parent. I went back to school for my masters and decided that counseling would be my goal. I wanted to learn about myself and healthy ways to live my life and to continue to be in a helping profession. My colleagues, family, and friends were very instrumental as they told me I was “natural counselor”. 

In 1991, I started to do private practice while staying in education full time. I shared an office with three other women on the westside of Madison. My final push out of public education came through the death of a colleague and multiple family deaths. All this in one year. 

One of my future goals is to learn more about energy work and intuition. I have done some studies of Emotional Freedom and Technique and doing the levels of Reiki. My journey in this continues. 

 

Lisa O’Donnell MSE, MS, LPC-IT

Lisa is a Licensed Professional Counselor-In Training (LPC-IT) who has her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialty in Integrative Health and Wellness from Viterbo University. Lisa has worked in the mental health field for the past 20 years as a practicing school psychologist and has experience working with adults, children, and adolescents who have experienced grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and various mental health diagnoses. Lisa is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and is accepting new clients for EMDR therapy. https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/

Lisa has a person-centered approach to therapy which deeply respects each client’s perspective of the world and where compassion and caring are central to the helping relationship. For some, healing can occur using cognitive restructuring and finding new ways to think and act, whereas for others, healing occurs when given the encouragement and space to explore new ways of being. Lisa uses techniques from play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, positive psychology, DBT, existentialism, EMDR, and other trauma-focused therapies. Through her work, she strives to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, gain insight into how that has impacted them, and create a new reality that is more fulfilling. With a down-to-earth, personable nature, she uses techniques that help promote growth, instill hope, and explore possibilities for change.
