Amanda Koteras, MA, LPC
Areas of focus: Children, Adolescents, Adults, Families, and LGBTQIA+ community Therapy is a powerful tool that benefits clients in a variety of ways, depending on the overall desired outcome. My role is to provide a collaborative process where I walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing. I strive to create a safe, supportive and accepting environment to my clients of all ages, backgrounds, cultural and spiritual needs. Developing helping relationships built on trust, authenticity and compassion is the cornerstone of our work together. I am passionate about holding space for my clients to navigate challenges, discover solutions and feel at peace. I strongly believe every individual has resilient qualities, if provided the opportunity to explore their own capabilities, especially during difficult times. I have extensive experience in a variety of settings working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds affected by trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, family conflict, life transitions and identity concerns. My professional work is rooted in a trauma-informed, strength-based, client centered, cognitive behavioral perspective. I draw from a variety of therapeutic interventions and orientations to meet the identified needs and unique goals of each individual. I welcome the opportunity to support clients on their healing journey, address concerns and ultimately improve connections among oneself and others to achieve personal fulfillment. |

Nicholle Hayton, MSW, CAPSW
Areas of Focus: Children, Adolescents, & Adults I have experience working with children and adolescents who have been affected by trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, difficulty managing emotions and low self-esteem. My passion lies with helping children and adolescents navigate through the challenges that they may be facing. Additional interests include helping children and adolescents who have been impacted by trauma, as well as those who may be struggling with peer or family changes. This includes working with children and adolescents in the foster care system and other county services. As a school-based provider, I believe that it is important for children and adolescents to have as few disruptions as possible. I strive to work with children during the school day, in their school so they will not miss important instruction time. I currently provide services in the Rice Lake and Cameron School Districts. I am willing to meet clients at any given point in their journey in hopes of creating positive and healthy changes in their lives. I am under the supervision of Shannon Brice, MSW, LCSW. |

I have trained to work with individuals of all ages and have experience working with adolescents, college age, and older adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationship skills, life transitions and substance use. I have experience integrating expressive arts and play therapy in sessions.
