Tory Suehs, LPC

Tory Suehs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, addictions, grief, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Tory uses a practical, skills-based approach. She draws from Client-Centered methods to listen and understand each person's experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts affect daily life. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused strategies are part of her toolbox for managing strong feelings and finding concrete steps forward.

She often helps people who are navigating family problems, blended family dynamics, separation or divorce, and difficulties that show up between parents and children. Tory has experience supporting those with ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, mood disorders, and sexual assault or abuse histories. She also works with concerns around sexuality, LGBT issues, and compulsive or impulsive behaviors.

Tory describes therapy as a place to build practical skills. Sessions focus on learning tools to manage emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and set realistic goals. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to what each person needs so they can try new approaches between sessions.

Many people come for help with finding better ways to handle conflict at home, to cope with life changes, or to reduce anxiety and anger. Tory has worked with teens and families in past roles, and she brings that experience when adults seek help for parenting and family-related strain.
