Jordan Johnson, Creating Connection PLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC(WI), LPC(VA), LPCC(MN)
Individuals and couples that work with me find that they are able to better understand complicated dynamics that occur in their relationships, including insecure attachment, negative core beliefs, and effects of past traumas on current relationships. I also help individuals process through fears, depression, and other mental health concerns from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.

Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re responding to something that doesn’t make sense—and you’re trying to make sense of it alone. If you’ve found yourself questioning your reality, over-explaining your feelings, or wondering how you ended up in another one-sided or emotionally confusing relationship, you’re not the only one—and you’re not imagining it. I work with women who are beginning to recognize patterns of narcissistic or emotionally manipulative relationships—whether in romantic partnerships, family dynamics, or both. Many of the women I support are high-functioning, self-aware, and deeply empathetic. From the outside, it looks like you have it together. Internally, you may feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or unsure how to trust your own instincts anymore. This work is about helping you name what’s happening, not dismiss it.
