Our Story
Both Katelyn & Ashley worked for non-profit organizations as violence prevention advocates before becoming counselors. We wanted to do more, and support growth.
Collectively, we have over 20 years of experience supporting survivors of trauma and 15 years of clinical experience treating a variety of mental health diagnoses.
Katelyn & Ashley were both trained in EMDR Therapy at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee by Dr. Wendy Freitag, LP, a senior trainer for The EMDR Institute. Dr. Freitag has provided ongoing consultation for certification requirements.
Our Mission
Are you feeling emotionally or mentally unwell? Have you been in the same cycle of suffering?
Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, you continue to feel stuck in your pain or in your past?
Sometimes it may feel as if this is who you are and you will be in this loop forever. Life can look different.
At The Counseling Space, we utilize evidence based practices focused on getting people unstuck, and out of revolving patterns of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
We will support you to move through difficult life experiences, find new ways to respond to your challenges and build resilience.
