Who we are

Healing happens through relationship.

Inner Worlds Counseling is a small group practice offering depth-oriented therapy for adults. Our therapists draw on Internal Family Systems and EMDR, and our work is experiential — we go beyond insight to help you connect with what you feel.

We work with your inner world with curiosity, not judgment.

What is parts work? →

We work with your feelings rather than against them — getting curious about where they came from, what they protect, and what they actually need.

How we work

Experiential. Depth-oriented. Relational.

Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy are not problems to eliminate — they are parts of you that developed for a reason. Instead of pushing difficult feelings away, we get curious about them.

Beneath insight

We go beneath symptoms to the parts that carry them, and use EMDR and IFS to work with the experiences keeping those parts stuck.

Mind and body

Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind. We pay attention to your nervous system and help build a felt sense of safety.

Back to Self

At the center of IFS is Self — the grounded, compassionate core of who you are. This work helps you reach it more often.

Getting started

Three simple steps.

1

Choose a therapist

Read about Heidi and Anna and see whose work feels like a fit. If you're in Wisconsin, Heidi is currently our only therapist licensed there. Not sure? That's okay — reach out and we'll help.

2

Book a free consult

A short call to talk about what you're looking for and whether working together makes sense.

3

Begin

If it feels right, we schedule your first session and send intake paperwork through our secure client portal.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Do you take insurance?

We're private pay and don't accept insurance. Heidi can provide superbills on request if you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement. Anna is a provisional counselor, so superbills aren't available for sessions with her.

Is therapy online or in person?

All sessions are by telehealth. Heidi sees clients located in Wisconsin and Louisiana; Anna sees clients located in Louisiana.

How do I choose a therapist?

Read both profiles and notice who you're drawn to. You can book a free consult with either of us, and if we're not the right fit, we're happy to help you find someone who is.

What's the difference between ongoing therapy and focused reprocessing?

Ongoing therapy gives us room to follow what emerges over time. Focused Trauma Reprocessing is shorter-term and organized around one particular target, often alongside a therapist you already have.

The first step is a conversation.

A free consult call — no pressure, no commitment. Just a chance to see if the fit feels right.
