740 Pilgrim Parkway, Suite 103, Elm Grove, WI, 53122 262-737-5002 beth@newjourney-counseling.com www.newjourney-counseling.com You are valued! And you can have that meaningful and rewarding life that you desire. I am here to help you define what that is and remove the obstacles that are getting in the way. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a meaningful and rewarding life based on their own definition of what that is. I realize that achieving this is not easy but simply moving towards it can be rewarding in itself. For several years prior to becoming a professional counselor, I worked in a business setting while raising a family as a single parent. This has given me first-hand knowledge of the trials and tribulations of the world of work and creating balance. My role as your therapist is to first and foremost provide a safe and trusting place for you to grow. A place where you feel genuinely cared about and valued. I will then serve as a springboard for your growth in the areas you identify; providing insight, techniques, and encouragement. Specialties: Transgender, depression, self-esteem, divorce, parenting, relationships, life-transitions, identity issues Payments Accepted: cash, check, credit cards (including HSA’s and FSA’s). I do not take insurance.
