Angela Gardebrecht
MA, LPC, CSAC
(she/her/hers)
My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space. There we can learn more about the real you, maybe even discover who “you” are for the first time, and explore how to value yourself. I do this by challenging negative self talk, teaching self-compassion, and coaching how to use coping skills.
Let me guess... Sounds impossible, right? I’d like you to know there is no need for you to justify how you feel because your feelings are valid. Please take a moment to read that again. Your feelings are valid. So are your experiences!
With 18+ years of experience in the criminal justice and social services fields, I enjoy working with adults struggling with all things trauma, anxiety, and depression. If you have ever wondered whether your experience is “bad enough” to deserve safe and healthy support, the answer is, 1,000% yes! Your trauma is valid. Your feelings are valid. Your experiences are valid.
I find that using a genuine, lighthearted yet straightforward, and strength-based approach in combination with a variety of evidence-based treatment techniques is the most effective way to work together. My goal isn’t to waste your time. My goal is to help you achieve what it is you came here for--because you are worth it and I believe in you.
If you and I pair up, there’s a great possibility you’ll laugh, and probably cry, and definitely hear me say, “it’s not 'fake it til you make it, it’s believe it til you become it' ” and “please try to give yourself some grace”. Now let’s get 'er done!

I believe in our kids. I believe if they are given the opportunity to learn and express their emotions in healthy ways, as well as learn effective coping skills, they can thrive.
As a therapist, my first goal is to connect and develop a trusting relationship with your child. I work with elementary and middle school age youth and my areas of expertise are: depression, anxiety, death of a loved one, impulse control, divorce, a cancer diagnosis of a loved one, and self-esteem concerns. I provide a non-judgmental approach and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, self-regulation skills, Client Centered and play therapy.
I began my journey helping and advocating for others in 1998 after I graduated from UW-Oshkosh as a social worker. My role for 12 years was spent supporting and navigating adults diagnosed with cancer. During this time, I became interested in addressing the needs of the entire family which eventually led to children. After the sudden death of my father in 2010, I experienced first hand the need for schools and mental health providers to collaborate. Schools are a place for education, but there are also many mental health issues that arise that need to be addressed. This loss and need led me to return to Lakeland College to receive my Master’s in Community Counseling and I graduated from there in 2015.
Kids are resilient. I’ve witnessed this time and time again during my work in this field. There are times when outside help is needed and that’s ok. We can develop a team that includes a parent or guardian, a therapist, as well as collaborating with their school to equip kids with tools they need to handle stressors in their life. I look forward to connecting with you and your child.

Beth Specht
MSW, APSW, PMH-C
Hello, and welcome! My name is Beth, and I am a mental health therapist with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I work with teens and adults who experience a wide range of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder and bipolar, but my area of expertise is in perinatal mood disorders. I greatly enjoy walking alongside mothers as they transition throughout the many stages of motherhood. I also enjoy helping families navigate chronic medical conditions, specifically type I diabetes in the pediatric population.
My practice style is person centered and I believe that the client is the expert in their own life. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution focused therapy techniques to guide my practice.
When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, listening to podcasts, going for walks and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
I look forward to working with you to help you navigate your way towards the greatest version of yourself!

If you find yourself struggling to manage your emotions, cope with overwhelming thoughts and feel like you are stuck – know that you are not alone and that you can get through this. If you are unsure about counseling or have had negative experiences in the past – know that you are not alone and that you deserve to have support. If talking about emotions sounds intimidating or you are unsure of how to talk about them in general – know that you are not alone, most of us don’t learn how to manage emotions in school. If you feel hopeless, worthless, and alone – know that counseling can help you gain skills and find hope. If the fear of judgement from others is preventing you from seeking counseling services – know that you are not alone and that there is no shame in asking for help.
I have experience working with clients on a wide range of things including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and interpersonal relationships. I have a passion for creating a strong therapeutic relationship with each client. I believe that your perspective is your reality and sometimes it can be helpful to explore various perspectives to allow for learning and growth. I offer a direct and straight-forward approach, paired with acceptance and compassion. I believe that a diagnosis does not define an individual – by working together I aim to help you learn about your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and how to cope with them effectively. My therapeutic style is eclectic and combines various evidence-based treatment modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.
Making the decision to seek counseling might feel intimidating and overwhelming, and that’s alright. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are at, learn about where you want to go and discuss a plan to help you reach your goals.

"Your real life is in the here and now. Once you figure out what kinds of experiences cause you to feel certain ways, you can change either the experiences, or when that's not possible, change your response to them."
— G. Alan Marlatt -
I work with adolescent and adult clients aged 16 years and up in a wide variety of areas including insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma (sexual trauma, combat trauma, etc), smoking, and many other issues. Additionally, I work with children with sleep issues (e.g., challenging bedtimes, frequent night wakings, and/or co-sleeping with parents). My clients find me to be warm, understanding, and caring. We work together to create achievable goals and take active steps to reach them.
I use therapy techniques that have been shown to be effective by clinical research. These techniques include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and several others, tailoring my approach to the specific needs and preferences of each client. My counseling style is collaborative, semi-structured, and transparent. This means clients are part of the goal-setting process, forming each session agenda, and the problem-solving process. Once a treatment course is identified, each session typically involves working on a specific skill with homework practice. I also understand that therapy needs change and am flexible.

Hey! I am so glad you are here. Starting the journey to take care of your mental health is both scary and exciting. So, whether or not you choose to pursue your journey with me, take a moment to give yourself credit for taking this first big step into wellness.
In therapy, I like to take a goal-oriented approach. I feel it is very important to set goals (both big and small!) to help guide the therapy process, which is something we will collaborate on together. In order to help work towards your goals, I find it helpful to use a variety of treatment modalities such as mindfulness, self-compassion, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing,dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, and my personal favorite, cognitive behavioral therapy. By using these approaches, together we can better understand how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are interacting with one another, to help you work towards a healthier relationship between the three. In my 7+ years in the mental health field, I have worked with a multitude of concerns such as depression, anxiety, OCD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, substance use, grief, life transition, and interpersonal relationships. I would like to describe my personal demeanor as soft, flexible, light-hearted, calm, welcoming, and a touch of humor!
My personal goal for you is to feel confident in yourself, your mental health, and the coping skills you learn through the therapy process. Someone had once told me, “no one is born a winner or a loser, you are born a chooser”. I strongly believe that once you choose to start prioritizing yourself and your well-being, change is truly possible, and I would be grateful to support you through this process.

My counseling approach integrates a balance of head and heart. This means drawing on evidenced based practices and modern science from a root of compassion and warmth. It means providing a flexible, safe environment to explore painful experiences and empowering my clients to integrate new skills to reduce negative impacts of the symptoms.
I like to integrate creativity in treatment planning to meet your individual needs as best as I can, utilizing natural resources in the mind and body for healing. I use a trauma informed, integrative approach to counseling - meaning I draw several different schools of thought depending on your individual needs. The most common approaches I utilize are Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

It takes vulnerability and bravery to reach out for help. I’m honored when individuals allow me to support them in their own journey of personal growth.
I’m incredibly passionate about increasing awareness and understanding of Infant Mental Health (Google it, it’s a thing!) and Perinatal Mental Health. Pregnancy, parenting, and all things related can be scary, exciting, and everything in between. And guess what… infants do more than eat, sleep, and poop, and are greatly impacted by their environments. Parents and caregivers deserve to be emotionally well, and there are many factors that can make this difficult, including one’s own history of being parented. I hope to reduce factors getting in the way of people’s emotional wellbeing to support the development of healthier children, families, and communities.
I have experience working with attachment disorders, depression, anxiety, perinatal and postpartum related challenges (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), and trauma with a women’s empowerment approach. I specialize in Parent-Infant therapy with parents experiencing postpartum depression and/or anxiety.
As a provider, I aim to create an emotionally safe space for my clients to share and process thoughts and feelings. It is important to me to have an honest and trustworthy relationship with my clients. A personal belief is people have the answers to their own questions and solutions to their problems, they just need a safe space and dedicated time to process.

I'm here to help you bring some change to your life! We'll work together to help you achieve your goals. My areas of experience include treating trauma/PTSD; I am certified in Prolonged Exposure (PE), and have experience in addressing trauma for special populations including healthcare workers and veterans. I am certified to treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs, PPD, PTSD) and support women through infertility, pregnancy and postpartum periods. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals to address unique treatment needs, including support through gender-affirming transitions. I also help people address depression and generalized anxiety. My primary experience is in working with adults, and we can incorporate partners or family into sessions along the way.
I bring a balance of evidence-based treatment strategies along with empathy, transparency, and a touch of humor to our sessions and work on treating your symptoms realistically within the context of your daily life. My approach to therapy is often based in interpersonal therapy, CBT, exposure therapy, and mindfulness.
Change can be scary, and it is also so very freeing! Watching as people get back into their lives and cultivate their own power through the changes they make in therapy is the best part of what I do. By working together we can reduce your symptoms, and help you improve your life in the ways that matter most to you.

Let’s grow through what we go through.
As a licensed professional counselor, I’m here to support, challenge and empower you to work toward the best version of yourself. I want to help you recognize the areas of your life that need improvements and celebrate the parts of yourself that make you feel proud, healthy and balanced. My genuine and non-judgmental approach will help you and your family open up when you’re ready to do so. My work is both trauma-informed and affirmative in nature which helps me understand you, your identity and your experiences across environments. At this time, I’m available to see clients ranging in age from 7 to 107.
Since 2018, I’ve primarily served children, teens and their families in the day treatment level of care which gave me the opportunity to work alongside children and families experiencing significant stressors which included safety concerns, recurrent conflict at home, difficulties in school, reactivity, aggression and traumatic experiences. I pride myself in my collaborative approach with children, teens and their support systems which can include parents, guardians, social workers and school staff. This work strengthened my ability to understand my clients both individually and as a family unit. Tremendous change is possible even when kids and parents feel hopeless, worried or defeated. I have experience facilitating many different variations of family therapy which can include parenting support sessions that occur without children present, sessions when all family members are present, sessions between co-parents with complicated relationships and everything in between. My therapy approaches will always be catered to you and your particular needs.
I truly look forward to meeting you and developing a therapeutic relationship that helps you show up for yourself or your family in new and exciting ways.

I understand how difficult it can be to address mental health struggles. This puts people in a vulnerable place which often feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgement space to begin tackling these struggles, no matter where your comfort zone lies. I will provide a supportive yet challenging therapeutic environment to build skills and improve your mental health and daily life. I take into consideration the uniqueness of each person’s life when providing therapy. There is no “one size fits all” approach.
I have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I know that it is not easy being a young person in our world today. My hope is to build an honest and trusting relationship with clients and empower each person to begin building a life they deserve.
I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses/challenges which includes generalized and social anxiety, depression and mood disorders, substance-use disorders, trauma/PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders. I have experience utilizing a number of evidenced-based treatment approaches such as exposure and response prevention, CBT/DBT therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Aside from this, I believe that connection and trust are at the core of any strong therapeutic relationship. I strive to find the balance between integrating the appropriate treatment approach and simply fostering a strong and genuine relationship with each client.

The struggles that bring people in therapy are myriad and each person’s situation is unique. As such, my treatment philosophy is that our work together should be driven by your goals and informed by your strengths.
My experience has focused largely around PTSD and anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, OCD, and social anxiety disorder. I also work with patients on body-focused repetitive behaviors such as trichotillomania. I rely strongly on evidence-based practices including CBT-based therapy. Along with Jaclyn, I am one of a very small number of local therapists trained in the use of Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD. I have experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community to address their needs, including support through gender-affirming transitions and coping with stress related to homophobia and transphobia. I also have experience working with spouses of military members/veterans and women who are pregnant or postpartum and bring to bear personal as well as professional experience with these particular life experiences.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you navigate any of the challenges you carry with you. Although I am a big proponent of evidence-based treatments, I believe the core of any good therapeutic experience is a strong relationship and I hope to accomplish this through warmth, humor, and transparency.
