Narrative
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.

Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Here you are struggling and searching for help but overwhelmed with all the options. Let's start with a conversation. I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults (+18) virtually in all PSYPACT states. I am trained as a generalist, with a focus in trauma, women's issues, and perinatal mental health. Together we will explore aspects of your life - the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings - that are creating conflict and challenges. My goal in therapy is to facilitate a trusting atmosphere to empower, inspire, and challenge. Therapy is work. It is about identifying and unpacking beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that cause distress or no longer serve you. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to my work and support individuals as they give voice to their experiences.
Outside of my therapy practice, I am a distance runner, mom, and avid reader. I enjoy spending time in nature, going on adventures with my partner and children, and creating moments of joy in the kitchen either cooking or baking.

Lisa Herpolsheimer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP-II, C-DBT
My therapeutic style is warm, genuine and engaging; I am well known for my natural ability to build a collaborative, effective, and deeply meaningful therapeutic relationship with my clients. I have 25 years of experiencing providing psychotherapy, and my specialty area is working with emotionally sensitive persons who have difficulty regulating and managing emotions. Most often, the clients I work with have more than one mental health concern at a time that they are seeking treatment for, and they are in need of an advanced-trained specialist due to multiple clinically complex needs. I work with Teens ages 14-18, Young Adults 18-25, and Adults 26 and Over. I provide therapy services either in-person at our beautiful historic Delafield, Wisconsin location at the Wise Mind DBT & CBT Center, or via Secure and Private Telehealth Services.
Therapy sessions with me are a blend of therapeutic processing (with a client-centered/strengths-based perspective), which I combine with teaching you the transformative Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT) that are relevant to your life in the here and now. The DBT Skills and CBT-Based Techniques that I utilize are designed to help alleviate suffering from emotion regulation/high emotional sensitivity problems, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood disorders including Anxiety, Depression, and OCD, in addition to other co-occurring mental health disorders. I also provide care to persons with ADHD / neurodivergence care needs. I am advanced-trained and certified to provide effective and compassionate care for persons seeking to recover from psychological trauma, including PTSD and Complex PTSD.
You will experience both supportive and validating care in session, while also learning and practicing deeply powerful skills to help you safely manage and experience your emotions. My aim is to provide transformative and effective care for your mental heath symptoms, thus preparing you to take on life's challenges more effectively as they arise in your life out of session.
My goal for you is that you Build A Life Worth Living: a life that is meaningful and rewarding for you, a life that brings you peace, joy, and confidence in your resiliency all along the way.
Working with me, you will become more able to deeply explore your emotions, learn to gently broaden your perspective on troubling situations, you will be able to access your inherent wisdom and insight into the patterns you have observed in your life, and will develop a renewed sense of confidence and hopefulness as you recover and re-discover your ability to reach the personal life goals that you may have thought were just too far out of reach for you until now.
I would be honored to Walk Alongside You on your recovery journey!
I also provide a FREE and in-depth Clinical Consultation Call for persons interested in starting therapy with me. The fastest and easiest way to get in contact with me to schedule your free consultation call is to TEXT message me directly, on my private and password-protected secure mobile phone at: (262) 744-5201. I look forward to connecting with you!
