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.
