Therapists for college students near 53715

Hey, I’m Lexi! I’m a therapist who helps college students heal their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. If you're exhausted by the pressure to have it all together—or to shrink yourself (your body, your voice, your needs)—you’re not alone. You deserve support that actually gets it. At Innerbloom Counseling, I help you untangle the messy stuff like disordered eating, comparison spirals, or feeling totally disconnected from yourself, and work toward a life where you feel more grounded, more whole, and more you. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone where you get to be real, go deep, and reconnect with the parts of you that might’ve been pushed aside. If you’re ready to feel more at home in your body and your life, I’d love to support you.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals. I have experience assisting people in working on mood and anxiety disorders, grief and identity exploration.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/complex PTSD, life transitions such as being in college, addiction, and chronic pain. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take the next step toward healing. I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to your unique needs. Depending on your goals, we may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic work, Rogerian Therapy, motivational interviewing, or other evidence-based practices. I have a down-to-earth, gentle style and the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering tools, insight, and encouragement as you move toward growth and relief. I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen the profound changes that happen when people are given the space and support to heal.

Hello! My name is Christy Vachavake and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here in Wisconsin. I work with adults in individual psychotherapy, and offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I take a whole-person approach, considering how biological, psychological, and social factors all influence who we are and how we cope with life’s challenges. I bring a broad range of professional and life experience into my work, which allows me to approach therapy with steadiness and perspective. Before and throughout my work in mental health, I’ve supported people through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. That background has shaped a calm, steady approach to therapy and allows me to sit comfortably with difficult emotions, complex situations, and topics that can feel hard to name. In our work together, we focus primarily on the present — how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are showing up in your day-to-day life right now. While past experiences are important and may be explored, we focus on them mainly when they help us better understand what you’re dealing with today. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself so you can move through life with more confidence and balance. Our first session is primarily a space for us to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and what you want from the therapeutic process. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences and expectations, and you’ll have the opportunity to get a sense of my style and how I approach therapy. This initial session is not a full picture of what ongoing therapy feels like, but rather a foundation — my goal is for you to leave with a clearer sense of direction and whether working together feels like a good fit moving forward.

You may look capable and successful on the outside, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or unsure of yourself. Many of the students I work best with are used to setting high expectations for themselves. You may put pressure on yourself to succeed, struggle with perfectionism, or feel like you are falling behind even when others think you are doing well. I also enjoy working with international students and students navigating different cultures. You may be balancing school with family expectations, relationships, questions about who you are and where you belong, or the stress of adapting to life away from home. Past difficult experiences may also be affecting how you feel and respond to stress today. In our work together, you do not have to have everything figured out. We can slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and find practical ways to manage difficult emotions and everyday stress. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, understand yourself more deeply, and approach your life and relationships with greater confidence and choice.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, providing support and guidance to LGBTQ+ folks who often don’t see themselves represented in the world around them or reflected in their search for the right-fit therapist. While I regularly help folks work through depression, anxiety, and trauma, we also freely discuss other topics that might not otherwise feel comfortable, including sex, faith, and the impact of diet culture. Nothing is off limits. I also regularly work with neurodivergent folks, especially around the emotional impact of ADHD, and exploring autistic identity. I am licensed in both New York and Wisconsin, and see clients throughout both states through video sessions.

I specialize in supporting adults dealing with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. My own life experiences and challenges have shaped my work as a therapist, and I bring empathy and understanding into each session. My approach centers on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we work together to explore your goals, honoring your individual journey and finding strategies that feel right for you. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s a true collaboration, where we work together to find solutions that fit you, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I value honesty, humor, and mutual respect in our sessions—because healing doesn’t have to be all serious business. I’m here to listen, to guide, and to offer strategies that help you feel empowered and confident in navigating life’s challenges. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you, creating a space where you feel supported and understood, every step of the way.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD, Life choices, anxiety, self-esteem and accountability. I assist clients in adjusting to unexpected life transitions by constructing healthier boundaries with themselves and others to balance their lifestyles. I value the importance of creating a supportive, transparent, and collaborative relationship throughout the therapy process. I do this by providing a safe space for clients to embrace their vulnerabilities. Difficult experiences often show up in the body. Accessing embodied experience helps clients evolve. These shifts in the body have a corresponding effect on our actions, routines, and relationships. Through mindful awareness, we discover how the body holds our experiences. We learn to recognize habitual patterns and create new ones. The healing starts now...

I offer a calming presence, safe space, coping skills, and acceptance. I often use an eclectic approach, blending different techniques and theoretical approaches to fit your needs, as every individual is different. I understand that every person has their own unique experience and perspective. I am willing to explore with them every step of the way to meet their goals at their own pace. I will work to encourage, support, and validate the process and potential for change alongside you. I am hoping to work with individual's who are old enough to utilize technology, looking for an additional support with their anxiety, depression, motivation, family dynamics, life changes, emotional regulation, self-identity, and trauma.

I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to creating a space where clients of all identities feel respected, understood, and safe to be themselves.

Therapist & A Couch is dedicated to creating space for healing. Welcome to my profile!
