Telemental Health Throughout Wisconsin
Welcome to Walk of Life Counseling
Welcome to Walk of Life Counseling's site. I'm Jason, a nationally board-certified psychotherapist and clinical substance abuse counselor.
If you're here, chances are you're struggling with something. Maybe it's trauma. Anxiety. Depression. Perhaps life is just overwhelming or running you over. Whatever it is, as a psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with people both in the United States and abroad, I can help.
I've designed this site to give you some information about me and my practice, but I also wanted this site to be informative in other ways, too. So, I've added some features and resources with the hopes that maybe something I've offered will be helpful for you right now.
So, please, browse the site. Learn about me and how I might help. Use some of the resources if you find them useful.
And, when or if you're ready, feel free to reach out. You can contact me directly through the site with the contact form. You can call or text me anytime. You can even book a free initial consultation if you decide you'd like to.
I'll be there whenever you're ready.

Requesting a Free Consultation
What a consultation should look like with me or anyone else.
A Conversation
If you ever feel pressure in a consultation, walk away. A consultation should be about you, what's bothering you, and how a therapist can help. Think of it like an interview. You are interviewing the potential therapist. That's what it is.
The Interview
Ask questions. Be neither afraid nor shy. It's your care and your wellbeing. What are the therapist's credentials? Where did they train? How, exactly, can they help you? When they name a treatment method, what is it, how does it work, and how would they use it for you? There are no wrong questions, and nothing wrong with assertiveness and curiosity.
The Therapist
The therapist should ask you about what's been bothering you and how they might help. Their questions should be focused on determining whether they have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to actually and effectively help you. If they can't, they should offer referrals to clinicians who can.
Available by Phone or Video
I offer free consultations by phone or video. I recommend video, because it gives you a chance to see a therapist's face, eyes, and body language, which tells you a great deal about their approach. That said, I'll honor whatever feels most comfortable for you.
