It is a tremendous privilege to be welcomed into people's stories. As a therapist, I do not take this for granted. I am deeply passionate about healing work, helping folks to find more meaning in their lives, and to remind individuals of their unique wisdom within. A therapeutic approach should not be “one size fits all”. I tailor my services to meet clients where they are on their wellness journey and learn more about their specific needs, hopes, and goals. Considering the mind, body, and spirit, I embrace a “whole person” approach to working with clients as I believe our healing power is maximized when we look holistically at our being. It would be a pleasure to connect with you. Please do reach out with a text, email, or call if you have any questions or curiosities. You deserve to remember how remarkable life can be. I work with a variety of insurance companies or have a flat $100/hr out-of-pocket rate if you will not be using insurance.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD, Life choices, anxiety, self-esteem and accountability. I assist clients in adjusting to unexpected life transitions by constructing healthier boundaries with themselves and others to balance their lifestyles. I value the importance of creating a supportive, transparent, and collaborative relationship throughout the therapy process. I do this by providing a safe space for clients to embrace their vulnerabilities. Difficult experiences often show up in the body. Accessing embodied experience helps clients evolve. These shifts in the body have a corresponding effect on our actions, routines, and relationships. Through mindful awareness, we discover how the body holds our experiences. We learn to recognize habitual patterns and create new ones. The healing starts now...

If you’re reading this, I want to honor the courage it takes to seek support—your journey toward healing and wholeness matters deeply. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and complex family dynamics. My approach is rooted in traditional, evidenced-based therapeutic interventions, but I also believe healing can be creative, expressive, and deeply personal. Whether it’s through music, painting, storytelling, or even video games, I welcome the unique interests and strengths you bring into the space we will share. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all—it’s tailored to you. I serve clients across Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Louisiana, offering inclusive, culturally responsive care that honors your identity, your struggles, and your story. Wherever you find yourself today, I’d be honored to walk alongside you toward your healthiest self.

My name is Carissa Weber. I am an outdoor enthusiast dedicated to helping others return to enjoying their own lives. As a therapist, I use a blend of treatment modalities, neuroscience, and sarcasm to help clients build on their strengths to rediscover who they are. When we work together, you will have a safe place to share your experience in a judgment-free zone. Rather than "jump to conclusions'' and make uncomfortable treatment recommendations to you after the first session, I will take time to get to know who you are, understand what you are facing, and help you explore ways to relieve your anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. I’ve worked to create the kind of non-judgmental therapy space where I’d want to find myself as a client—where one can ugly cry & make dark-humored jokes within the same session.

With over 40 years in the mental health field — first as a master's-level therapist and later as a psychologist — I've had the privilege of supporting people through some of life's most difficult moments. My experience spans individual therapy, crisis intervention (providing immediate support during mental health emergencies), and disaster human services (helping communities recover after traumatic events like natural disasters). But my work is only one part of who I am. I'm also a mom, a grandma, an active member of my community, and a proud dog lover. These parts of my life have given me a deep appreciation for the everyday challenges people face — and they shape the way I show up for my clients. I see the world through real-life experiences, not just textbooks, and I bring that perspective into every session.

You’re stronger than you think! I want to draw out those strengths so you can be your best self. I am supportive of your struggles and fears, and I will also challenge you to smash those fears and deconstruct the obstacles that seem to stand in your way. I won’t be passive or allow you to be passive about overcoming your unique challenges. No sitting back and asking you, “So how does that make you feel?” We’re going to unpack your life experiences together.

College life can feel overwhelming—between academics, relationships, and the pressure to “have it all figured out,” it’s easy to feel stuck or anxious. At Beautiful Minds Therapy & Consulting, LLC, I specialize in helping students across WI, IL, and NE navigate challenges like OCD, panic, social anxiety, and stress with evidence-based strategies that actually work. Through virtual sessions, you’ll gain tools to manage intrusive thoughts, calm your nervous system, and build confidence to face everyday struggles head-on. My goal is to create a supportive space where you don’t just survive college—you thrive in it.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, break through barriers, and tap into their inner strength. Every person is unique, and my goal is to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the specific needs and preferences of each client. Expressive art therapy provides an alternative form of communication, particularly beneficial when traditional verbal expression may feel limiting. Artistic expression allows for the articulation of emotions, experiences, and narratives that may be challenging to express through words alone. The focus is on the process of creation rather than the end result, allowing for a more profound and authentic exploration of emotions.

Let's get you back to feeling balanced. Anxious, unresolved trauma and primary relationship issues/attachment styles are some of the struggles we can work through together.

I have worked with individuals, couples and groups with clients in the age range of 6 - 86. Currently, I work with adults/individuals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a person-centered cognitive behavioral therapy approach to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered. I believe people grow best when they’re met with genuine empathy and practical tools they can use in their daily lives. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where every person can explore their identity, challenges, and goals without judgment. My work is rooted in collaboration, compassion, and the belief that everyone has the capacity for meaningful change.

I approach each problem with curiosity. I seek to offer a warm, genuine, accepting and safe environment to allow my clients to express themselves honestly. I prefer to use a collaborative approach, integrating healing with daily living. I am a mother of two daughters aged 24 and 17. I started my journey toward seeking to serve others more than 30 years ago with an undergraduate degree in Social Work. I had a deep desire to address the challenges associated with cultural adjustment and mental health. To enhance my understanding of culture, I chose to pursue a Master's in Anthropology soon after completing my undergraduate degree. This launched my career into working with new arrival families in a variety of settings. After spending time raising my family, I completed my long term goal of obtaining a counseling degree in 2013. Since then, I have worked in many different settings and with clients from a variety of groups and stages of life, including community based care, inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization, and crisis care and support in a medical setting. I have served both adolescents and adults. At this time in my career, I seek to continue to support adults of all ages and backgrounds.

I love working with people who are ready to learn and put in the work. Going through treatment for OCD, anxiety, or a related condition is definitely tough - but so is leaving these difficulties untreated. I want to help you gain your life back from OCD, anxiety, and worry, and realize how strong you truly are. There's so much freedom on the other side of fear, and it takes a lot of courage to get there. But I can help you realize all the tricks that OCD and anxiety play on you so you can KNOW better to DO better. I'm on your team now! We're in this together.

The transition to undergraduate or graduate school can be a very vulnerable time, and many experience depression, anxiety, and anger along the way. It can be challenging to reach out for support and get connected, but it doesn’t have to be. I am honored to support and hold space for those struggling during these transitions. I have experience and interest in relationship issues, adjustment to life transitions, issues with family of origin, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and other mood concerns. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, sexual health, self-compassion, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I strive to use a non-judgmental, empathetic, and validating stance to help clients heal and grow, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion. Please reach out if you feel we may be a good fit!
