Contemplative Psychotherapy Therapists in Green Bay, WI

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

Our practice is about helping people with connections, whether that be connecting with a partner, friend, spirit, the greater community or with self. We believe that it is in connection that we find wellness and healing.

Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you! My practice is geared towards gen Z and millennial clients who struggle with anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and ADHD. My clients are often college students, graduate students, or are early in their careers as high-powered professionals. I have experience working with physicians and other medical professionals, engineers, high-stress business professionals, and lawyers. Often my clients over-schedule, over-optimize, and feel like they are working so hard to keep things in order in their lives. To other people, it may appear that you have it all together, but they don't see your internal struggle, your sense of overwhelm, and your hope that you will finally get a grasp on things tomorrow. Often my clients rely on achievement and external forms of validation and praise to feel like they are doing enough. They struggle to internally approve of themselves and their efforts. In therapy, I help my clients to cultivate self-compassion, re-evaluate and replace unhealthy personal standards, and increase attention to their own internal wants, needs, and opinions. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate your own internal sense of knowing and increase your sense of agency in your own life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? If you sense you have wounded inner child defense patterns from the past that block you from moving forward into the authentic self-expression of your needs and aspirations, I invite you into a therapy space where your originality, inner imagery, thoughts, and feelings can lead you towards greater wholeness, strength, and maturity.

I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.

Green Bay is the smallest American city with a major professional sports franchise—the NFL's Green Bay Packers, uniquely community-owned and a profound source of civic identity and seasonal social cohesion—and its mental health landscape reflects both the strengths and challenges of a mid-size Midwestern industrial and paper mill city with a strong working-class character. The city has a significant and growing Hmong community, one of the largest in Wisconsin, descended from Southeast Asian refugees whose mental health needs include the specific trauma of the refugee experience, intergenerational cultural navigation, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity in a predominantly white Midwestern city. Aurora BayCare Medical Center and Bellin Health provide behavioral health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the evolving community. Common therapy concerns include Hmong refugee and intergenerational trauma, manufacturing and industrial workforce stress, seasonal depression in Wisconsin's long winters, family and relationship difficulties, and the mental health dimensions of a community whose civic identity is unusually bound up in a football team.
