Jessica Halaska

About me

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 20 years of professional counseling experience. I have experience in helping clients with couples issues, infidelity, communication issues, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, & career difficulties. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. My couples and I cover all major domains that tend to be of some concern in relationship (money, house chores, parenting, communication, sex, life goals, career issues, not feeling heard or validated. While I am all the things I believe a "good" therapist should be (empathetic, good listener, validate, etc), I do think my style is very welcomes and appreciated by my clients because I am also DIRECT, I will challenge you, I believe that my clients came to me because they needed help to facilitate CHANGE, and in order to do that in my opinion, we have to be 100% honesty with each other, I will need to push some emotional button, to help get insight and self awareness, because without that we often can't facilitate change.... we can't change what we don't know or understand. I believe change is possible, I believe it can be empowering and freeing all at the time..... the question isn't can I change, or is change possible, the question is are you READY to change, and if your ready, I'm ready to help you and your partner on that journey!!!!!
