Christian Counseling Therapists in Eau Claire, WI

I enjoy working with children (ages 12 and up), adolescents, and adults. I have a passion for helping to make positive changes through developing healthy ways to navigate through life struggles and learn effective strategies to live a more balanced life. I have experience working with a variety of ages in a variety of settings; including outpatient, schools, college counseling centers, day treatment, and intensive residential treatment facilities.

I have a master's degree in clinical psychology and 33 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. My goal is to get to the root of the challenge, in a compassionate, nonjudgemental way. My passion is to help clients get unstuck, so they are free to pursue their passions.

My focus might be short term counseling or longer term in-depth psychotherapy, depending on the needs of the client. In all cases, the client-therapist or counselor relationship quality is critical to real sustainable change. This relationship quality is created through empathy, genuiness and respect for the client and a genuine desire on my part to understand. When people feel known accurately and respected, that intangible magic begins to happen which leads to healing. Truth and love are definitely a part of that which leads us directly into the spiritual realm. Individual and couples therapy are my specialties.

Hello there! :) I am Jaclene Newell (Jac-lean), as the pronunciation name. I am licensed as a licensed professional counselor with a specialization in forensics here in Wisconsin. My great compassion is to bring healing to those who are experiencing life's difficulties and guide my clients through the obstacles life often presents to us.

Life may feel like a rollercoaster at times. You do not have to sit on the ride by yourself. Sitting alongside a person or couple as they navigate the twists and turns of life is an honor. I am skilled in working with individuals who may be experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, and family issues.

Worry and sadness are a normal part of life, at some points, sadness and worry can be hard to manage on your own, during those times, having someone to talk to can be very helpful for most people. I help individuals ages 12 and up that are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression and feeling stuck in life.

Are you struggling to recover from grief or loss? Perhaps you're stressed out, anxious, or depressed, fearing the loss of a marriage or a job. If you are longing for peace and healing, if you need to find courage to heal and grow, please give me a call.

I have a passion for helping people re-experience themselves. Sometimes it is necessary to share your story with someone who can be objective and give you an alternative perspective. Life comes with many struggles, and there are times when managing them can seem difficult. We imagine our feelings as chains that hold us down. The energy we once had to live and love, no longer seems available. When we walk in shame and fear we give others our power and become powerless. We often fall into old patterns that don’t work for us any longer. We can feel stuck.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who provides therapy and psychological assessment/testing. In therapy, I use a variety of techniques that I tailor to the client and the issue being treated. However, research shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship, not the technique used, has more to do with successful outcomes. This is why I prioritize establishing and maintaining a healthy connection and trust. I am passionate about treating veterans and first responders (and their families), those with trauma, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Regardless of the issue, I try to help clients find more meaning and connection in their life.

Healing can take many forms in our lives and therapy is one of those places that can facilitate that process. Finding a therapist, you can trust to process some of the difficult moments in your life is foundational. As your counseling partner, I will create a safe place for you as you navigate the challenges you are facing and help you figure out what you want and need moving forward. I believe in healing and the resiliency of the human heart and soul. Out of our difficulties, something beautiful can emerge. Come as you are and we can go from there. I enjoy working with adults of all ages and stages in life.
