About Di: A Personal Note

Welcome! I am Di Philippi (that's short for Diane!), founder of Wellness Counseling Milwaukee.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Holistic Practitioner with a passion for empowering people to break free from anxiety, stress, worry, and fear because I know how these things can make life overwhelming and difficult.

I believe you are magnificent! I believe you are meant to be happy and productive. And I know that there are so many natural, healthy ways that really work to ease anxiety and achieve well-being...without medication. With a focus on the strengths I know that you already possess, I tailor my approach to you so we find the right tools that work for YOU.

I earned a Masters degree in Counseling from Marquette University. I am a member of the American Counseling Association and the Wisconsin Association on Alcohol and other Drug Abuse.

I integrate holistic, alternative tools into my counseling practice, including:

     * EMDR   (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming)
     * EFT      (Emotional Freedom Technique, referred to as "tapping")
     * Reiki   (I am a Reiki Master Teacher)

My specialized training and experience includes working with all types of anxiety (including panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, fears and phobias, hoarding, and more), trauma survivors, survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault, and addressing substance abuse issues.

I am also an experienced workshop presenter on topics such as Stress Management, Sleep Problems, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), The Law of Attraction, Vision Boards, Reiki, The Chakras, Life Purpose, Goal Setting, Healthy Relationships, Money and Prosperity, and Time Management. At the Center for Creative Learning, I am an Instructor for a powerful personal growth and emotional healing experiential workshop called Taking It Lightly.

What makes me unique is my focus on wellness counseling. I believe in the power of a holistic approach to overcoming life issues like anxiety. I integrate traditional therapies, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy, with alternative approaches to physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual health and happiness. I have training in Holistic Counseling and can offer innovative and integrative ways to let go of anxiety, stress, worry and fear.

Finding a counselor you like and trust is so important. To give us a chance to get acquainted, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can see if working with me is the fit you've been waiting for.

Let's talk about how I can help you overcome your worries and start living a life you love!

Wishing You Well-Being,
