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.

Psychodynamic
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires.
This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.

For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
