My name is Kristen and I am an EMDR Trained therapist who specializes in working with adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and challenges with self esteem.  Trauma is any experience that overwhelms someone's ability to cope.  These experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.  I believe individuals heal and grow when they have a safe space to explore their painful life experiences and find new ways to relate and integrate those experiences into their lives.  While we cannot change what you have experienced, we can change the impact it has on your life.

I value providing an environment where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. Change can be difficult, and I hope to be a source of compassion, empowerment, and growth.

My professional education includes a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin- Platteville and a Master of Science in Counselor Education from the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater.  In my free time, I live an active lifestyle and enjoy traveling, backcountry backpacking, and yoga.

I can be seen in our Oshkosh office or via Telehealth.

My name is Connie Norby, and I am pleased to be a counselor at Integrity Counseling, LLC. My professional education and training include a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point with a major in Sociology and a minor in Psychology, and a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling from UW Oshkosh.  I am trained in DBT .

I believe the foundation for effective, therapeutic counseling is based on mutual respect and collaboration between client and counselor. Together, we can work to explore barriers, strengths and opportunities for change. We are all faced with an array of challenges throughout life, and the counseling process can help to offer guidance and bring about a healthier balance. In addition to offering guidance, we will collaborate to identify strategies that can be used to facilitate positive change. During the counseling process, I strive to embrace diversity that makes each of us unique. I have a passion for working with people in the LGBTQIA community and am an advocate of LGBTQIA rights. I also have extensive experience working with people who have dementia and their families and care partners.

I am interested in working with individuals of all ages and abilities, including children, adolescents and older adults, and people who have physical and cognitive challenges. If you are unsure of where to turn for acceptance and support, I will offer you therapeutic acceptance, support and guidance, and will work with you to help you achieve a higher level of life satisfaction.

Personally, I enjoy reading, taking walks, and spending time with family and friends. I am the mother of four grown children, whose life experiences have helped me to grow as a mother and an advocate.

Connie can be seen via Telehealth only.

I have a Master's Degree in Counseling from UW Oshkosh, and an Associate Degree in AODA Counseling from Fox Valley Technical College.

I have a passion for recovery, from substance abuse, and/or any other mental health concern, and I consider it a privilege to walk with you on your emotional journey.   I take a caring, accepting, authentic approach.

I am a Person Centered therapist, and I use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Transactional Analysis.   I will encourage and teach you to identify, express and allow your feelings.  I am interested in your story, and I believe in the power of your telling it to me.  This enables awareness, of your strengths as well as your "shadows," and allows you the freedom to accept and embrace all parts of yourself.

I enjoy spending time with my wife and son, bicycling, watching and playing sports, reading, listening to music, and visiting with family and friends.

My name is Kaitlyn Bork and my passion for mental health is what led me to become an Advanced Practice Social Worker (APSW). My professional education includes a Bachelor of Arts from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a Masters in Social Work from Concordia University.

The thing that I enjoy most about working with clients is that everyone has their own unique story that makes them who they are. No one has the same experience as you and that requires your counseling sessions to be tailored to your needs. I also believe that the counselor-client relationship is a collaborative one where we work together to meet your goals and help you to feel heard and safe.

Currently, I am meeting with a wide range of clients from ages 10 and above, individuals, families, and school-based. Areas of specialty that I have are in: anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+, communication skills, life transitions, difficult behaviors, and trauma.

She is passionate about helping clients identify their feelings and teaching them to work on expressing themselves in a healthy manner.

Kim earned her Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

My name is Kathryn McNiel (she/her) and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I want to commend you for taking the first step in your journey and considering me as a part of the process. My work is with people who are going through all types of life challenges. I help individuals (13+), couples/relationships, and families overcome feelings of disconnect to develop meaning, intention, and joy in their lives.

As a systems and relationally trained therapist my lens is to examine how you connect with your environment and the impact these interactions have on your well-being. My approach as a culturally sensitive and justice-oriented therapist, strives to identify and change oppressive systems (racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism etc.). I am supportive and affirming of the LGBTQIA+ community.  

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, and strengths based. I work with clients and assist them in identifying their values, goals, and how they are present in relationship with themselves and others. I draw from elements and techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Areas of specialty include: Anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationships, sex therapy and sexual health, self-compassion, and communication skills.
