Jamilla Goins, MS, LPC, SAC New Richmond Clinic Lead Areas of Focus: Adolescents & Adults I have experience working with substance abuse, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, criminal behaviors, and trauma. I believe meeting the client where they are at and helping clients build on the strengths they currently possess are two of the pieces that make therapy effective. My therapeutic approach is a holistic approach; however, I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy. These approaches help empower clients to make the choices necessary to reach their full potential. Jamilla Goins, MS, LPC, SAC

Kristen Lane, MS, LPC Areas of Focus: Adolescents (14+) & Adults I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and families who are struggling to find balance, freedom, and meaningful connections in life. I especially have a passion for helping those who feel trapped in negative cycles, whether it be related to defeating beliefs, food, body image, codependency, isolation, or anxiety. I help ‘bridge the gap’ when there is a breakdown of communication between parents/children, couples, and other significant relationships by using and teaching effective communication skills with the goal of mutual understanding. I am also comfortable discussing matters of spirituality, identity, and finding purpose/meaning in life. I approach each client as a unique individual who has the capacity for growth, change, and building a life worth living. I use a balance of helping clients find insight behind issues/behaviors while also implementing practical steps for change. Clients appreciate the safe, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere I create, which I believe is vital to the ultimate therapeutic process and goals each client has. I have special interest in working with eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, addictive habits, ADHD, assertiveness skills, low self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions.

Susan (Sue) Nueske, MS, LSC, LPC-IT Areas of Focus: Children, Teens, & Adults Genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard are at the heart of my person-centered and strength-based approach. At different moments in life, I believe every person may benefit from having an unbiased listener, an objective mediator, an open-minded supporter. This is why I prefer to think of therapy as providing support and generating hope. It is a process where individuals can be empowered to accomplish their goals and dreams in a genuine, trusting, and caring environment. I have seen how lives are changed when people have someone to believe in them, to talk with them, to support them. Therapy may help you open your heart, renew your hope, and find your inner strength to pursue your dreams and reach your full potential. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, bullying, ADHD, OCD, trauma, suicide/crisis intervention, conflict mediation, communication skills, self-talk, obesity, parenting, family change, setting goals, career and life planning, and eating disorders. I have a special interest in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. These developmental years are crucial in helping build self-esteem, autonomy, and resilience, and we all know the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. I want everyone I meet to become the best version of themselves by believing and trusting in their own potential.
