Mandi Wille
Hi, I'm Mandi! Sometimes life can get really big, and that is where I can come in to help with navigating those big moments. Anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, aging issues either as yourself or as a caregiver, all are examples of things that I have helped people find peace in their lives with.
Sometimes life can get really big, and I help with navigating those big moments.
I pull from many different modalities including, but not limited to: CBT, DBT Skills, ACT, Narrative Therapy, to create a treatment plan with a foundation of your strengths and is built as unique as you are! Reach out, let's see how I can be an awesome fit to help you reach your goals!
First session
First session, we will get the "business stuff" out of the way with finishing any paperwork that needs completed., if need be. I will have a chat about what I do and do not keep secret (aka confidential) and we will set up agreements/ground rules/expectations of our sessions together. This is a joint effort, so we do much of this together. Throughout this, we will be getting to know each other. I'll be asking a lot of questions about you so I can start to get an idea of how to tailor your experience to be genuinely unique to your needs, wishes and desires. But also so we start to set up a game-plan for what YOUR personal treatment plan will be with goals that YOU set to achieve. I am really big on the idea that this is YOUR therapy and I want YOU to be in the lead of what YOU want to accomplish. Then, after we wrap up the first session, handled the paperwork, had our discussion session and took care of getting to know at least a little bit about each other, you get to pick when you come back to see me again and we can make the treatment plan official that was started talking about this session.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is as unique as you are. If you are the kind of person who thrives knowing you will be heard, validated, encouraged, championed, while getting "just that right amount of accountability" to help you reach your goals and achieve the dreams you seek, then I'm that person for you. I pull from a tool bag of many different skills you can use and explore to help you reach the next level of awesome you look to get to in life. From Mindfulness skills, CBT, DBT skills, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, ACT, and all with a strengths-based approach.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone navigating a complex situation in their life or working through a big situation they see themselves in. I pull from many different modalities to help you achieve YOUR goals, as unique as YOU are. I believe no two people or even two situations are the same. Therefore, no two goals are the same meaning no two exact same paths to get there, either. So, my ideal client is not going to be the person who wants a "cookie-cutter" approach-we are going to be creative together in solving problems.
Origin story
I became a therapist because I like helping people figure out answers to complex questions. I truly enjoy finding solutions with people facing difficult situations and cheering them on as they reach their personal goals they have set.
Ongoing work together
As stated previously, YOUR personal goals are the focus of this mission! There are various assessments I use to measure progress throughout your therapy with me. Sometimes you don't see the progress until you compare it from where you were in different stages of your Grow journey. Those assessments are only a part of the overall picture to show your improvement. It is the rest of the picture that tells the whole story. Improved relationships with loved ones, crushing goals and setting bigger ones, enjoying more peace in their lives, finding hope again, are just a few examples of the progress people who have worked with me before have shared that they have been able to do after working with me and being seen, heard, validated, believed and championed/cheered on.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I believe everyone is their own unique self and every person has it in them to get to where they want to go with the right guidance and direction. I am one to use all sorts of cool ways to explore those hard situations and questions in life. There are few limits to how we can explore and figure this out together.
