Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Wisconsin

Hello, my name is Alexis Gade and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to offer clients a safe and compassionate environment to explore barriers they might be facing that are preventing them from living to their full potential as well as identifying strengths to achieve their goals. I utilize strategies from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure/Response Prevention, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to create a tailored, individualized approach to therapy. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety and OCD. Through therapy, I work with clients to help them accept their anxieties rather than fight against them in order to live life according to their values. Through acceptance and mindfulness, clients can work on getting unstuck from their thoughts and be more present in their daily life. Another area of focus of mine is helping women and mothers during challenging life transitions, including the prenatal and postpartum periods. While these periods can include joy and excitement, it can also be a time of vulnerability and change. I am a believer that all changes, even positive changes, can be challenging and stressful. I’m here to walk you through these changes and help explore the many different facets of motherhood.  Additionally, I have experience working with military families, including working with service members, spouses, and children. I help families manage stress and anxiety related to navigating the deployment cycle. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey in a welcoming, non judgmental environment. I am currently accepting new clients.  

You deserve to live a life driven by your DREAMS rather than your FEARS! I know that you have been through things that make this feel like an unrealistic goal - like there are giant boulders in your path. I know that you might feel frozen - confined by your past or trapped in an endless cycle of worry about the future. But I also know that it's possible to have peace in your present moments. I support people - just like you - in gaining a sense of control over their bodies, their minds, and their hearts. That boulder doesn't have to be a boulder. It can be stepping stone, and I can walk with you. I specialize in helping people to access their inner strength, to find their peaceful center, to re-ignite their passion for life. We will work together to battle back those stories that are no longer useful to you, to defeat your inner critic, and to harness your resilient self to move you toward the life you want. I truly understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out. If I can help answer questions or ease concerns, don't hesitate to connect! I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.
