Patti Bee
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC - Wisconsin, LMHC - Iowa
My combination of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) the past 10 years, along with using my professional psychic skills, has been the greatest gift in my life as a healer. That combination allows me to "see" where the client is in their inner work, once they are deep in the inner journey of working with a part. As I guide the client to connect with inner parts, my alternative skills help me know the next question to ask to help the client connect with the part even more deeply. This work, helps you connect with deep material that has been buried and exiled away, but that many times is the cause of the thought, behaviors and life choices that are causing you pain in your life now. The big change maker is that you need access to those parts, and the difficulty in that is that you. need a seasoned guide to gain that access. All the modalities I have studied and have over 30 years experience with, assist the IFS inner parts work process by revealing those access points and then strengthening you as the Adult Self Leader, to be there to validate your inner parts, see them, allow them the right to exist (which all can see counter intuitive. But ... with a seasoned guide, is the very technique that brings those parts to release what they are holding. That has kept you stuck in certain areas of your life. All your parts are welcomed by be with care and respect. Email me today for a free, 30-minute phone consult. This is the fastest way to get a response back.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Hello, and welcome! My name is Jen Francke, and I have had the privilege of practicing as a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed alcohol and drug counselor for over 11 years. My journey in the field has been deeply influenced by my belief that everyone, at some point in their life, faces challenges that can feel overwhelming. While you have undoubtedly navigated through many difficulties in the past, there is absolutely no shame in seeking extra support when you need it. That’s where I come in—to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and a renewed sense of well-being.
I offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, blending trauma-informed, client-centered methods with proven therapeutic techniques. I am also certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which I have found to be incredibly effective for clients dealing with trauma and distressing life experiences. Whether you're seeking individual psychotherapy or substance abuse treatment, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal, and grow.
In addition to my clinical work, I have completed yoga teacher training, which has enhanced my approach by incorporating mindfulness and self-awareness practices to support emotional and mental healing. By integrating mind, body, and spirit, I work with clients to help them achieve greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to help guide and support you in taking the next steps toward a healthier, more balanced life. Feel free to reach out to learn more about how we can work together toward achieving your goals.

Joy Powell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA Socio, MSW, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree in Sociology, my therapeutic practice is built on a deep understanding that healing does not happen in a vacuum, it is shaped by the systems we live within, the roles we are asked to play, and the identities we carry. This dual lens allows me to support clients in ways that are both deeply personal and socially aware, bridging emotional insight with an understanding of the wider cultural and structural influences on our lives.
In our work together, I will help you explore not only your internal landscape—your thoughts, emotions, and patterns—but also how your lived experiences have been shaped by family systems, societal expectations, and cultural norms. Together, we will cultivate a therapeutic space where your humanity is deeply acknowledged and your full self is supported and respected.
Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, not just for what they are going through, but for the context in which those struggles have taken root. This kind of care can be transformational, especially for those who have felt misunderstood or pressured to “fix” themselves without first feeling safe enough to truly BE themselves.
Therapy with me is not about offering quick fixes, it is about co-creating a relationship that is grounded in trust, reflection, and steady support. I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and thoughtful presence that invites curiosity, connection, and sustainable change. If you are seeking a therapist who honors both your personal story and the world that shaped it, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward deeper understanding and lasting well-being.

Stephanie McCray CCHt
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
You may be wrestling with countless thoughts, questioning whether seeking help is the right move. I want you to know-this space isn't about controlling your mind or making you do anything you don't want. It's about offering you a peaceful, respectful atmosphere where real transformation can begin.
There's something powerful that happens when the mind feels safe enough to exhale-when inner noise quiets and clarity begins to rise. I've witnessed incredible shifts in people when they realize they don't have to carry everything alone. Mental strength isn't just about pushing through-it's about feeling grounded, clear, and alive in your own skin again.
This work is personal to me. Not because of credentials or techniques, but because of the joy that fills the room when someone reconnects with their spark. It's seeing the flicker of hope, that smile of recognition, that "I finally feel like myself again" moment.
Everyone deserves peace. And I believe-with the right support, environment, and encouragement-peace becomes possible. That's why I'm here.
