Child Therapists in Wisconsin

I am a military veteran, mother and wife. I have been doing therapy since 2017. I have a passion helping people. When I got out of the military I found a need to give back and therapy was one of the ways that I found I could give back to not just service members but to my community around me.

I believe that meaningful progress in therapy starts with a strong therapeutic rapport. By fostering trust and connection, I help clients feel comfortable and confident in the work we do together. I began working as a therapist in 2016. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Wisconsin. I have had the privilege of working with clients of all ages, and am specialized in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space where my clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to be the best version of themselves.

I use a client-led and strengths based approach to therapy. I like to think of myself as a tour guide for patients who are navigating unknown territory. I want to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to go. Clients can count on being respected, heard, and understood. They receive feedback that is tactful, but direct. They can expect that healing will begin in sessions and that they will know what to do to between sessions to continue the healing.

Hello! My name is Laura Lininger, LCSW. I attended Indiana University and got my BA in Psychology and then moved on to Tulane University in NOLA for my Masters in Social Work. I have worked for many years doing child and adolescent therapy and then later added working with adults to the services I provide. I believe my child and adolescent therapy background has been a great foundation for working with adults who are dealing with childhood trauma or family of origin issues. As for treatment approaches, I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR. I also include a lot of mindfulness practice in my work with clients. I am proud to provide a safe environment for all races, genders, religions, and clients from the LGBTQ community.

You’ve been strong for so long. You’ve held it all together for work, family, everyone else — but inside you’re tired of surviving. You’re craving peace, connection, and a life that finally feels like yours. Hi, I’m Jackie — a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Healing Haven.
