Ms Mandy Schulzke

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I provide warm, practical therapy for adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions, and patterns that are difficult to change.”

About me

I work with adults and couples who may be dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, life transitions, or patterns that are difficult to change. My approach is warm, active, and direct. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s happening, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways to create meaningful change in your everyday life and relationships. I have experience working with relationship concerns, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, men’s issues, first responders, and personality disorders. I also provide couples counseling focused on communication, conflict patterns, connection, trust repair, and navigating differences.

Approach

My approach is warm, active, and direct. I tailor therapy to what you need rather than using the same approach with everyone. Depending on your goals, I may draw from EMDR, CBT, ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. We’ll look at what is keeping you stuck, make sense of patterns and experiences that may be contributing, and work toward practical changes that carry into your daily life and relationships.
