Georgia Black

Licensed Professional Counselor

Registered Art Therapist

I’m Georgia, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist in the state of Wisconsin.

I specialize in working with kids and families. My practice is centered around healing trauma, building healthy relationships, and supporting unique family systems. I love what I do and feel honored to bear witness to my clients’ lives.

I take a compassionate approach to the healing relationship that occurs within therapy. I believe each person has a unique journey and individual needs — I aim to be responsive, kind, and realistic in helping the people I work with create a holistic plan to live full lives.

I am supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community and strive to demonstrate cultural humility in working with all families.

Education:

Bachelor’s of Science, Art - University of Wisconsin - Madison

Master’s of Science, Art Therapy - Mount Mary University

Additional Specialized Training:

  • I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)

  • I have completed EMDR level 1 & 2 training

  • I am a graduate of the Training for Adoption Competency program through the Center for Adoption Support and Education

Previous experience:

  • Worked as an outpatient Child and Family Therapist for 3.5 years at Children’s Wisconsin.

  • Provided in-home therapy for children in treatment level foster care.

  • Facilitated art therapy studio groups in a variety of settings (in homeless shelters, group homes, for local organizations, in schools, and in a private practice).

In my free time I enjoy visiting my family out of state (especially my niece), trying new recipes, going to book club, doing Pilates, crafting, spending time in nature, and getting together with friends. I moved to Wisconsin in 2013 and am happy to call the Milwaukee area home.
