Joel Tellinghuisen, LPC, ADHD-CCSP

Joel enjoys supporting teens and adults as they navigate various transitions and developmental stages. He provides a values-based counseling approach that helps clients confidently assess options and choices. This approach provides clients with a foundation they can rely on for life long growth and development.

Joel also works with adults who would like to enhance their relationships with their teenage children. Here, Joel uses developmental theory as a lens to promote healthy communication and interaction. Joel has completed his ADHD-CCSP (Certified Clinical Services Provider), which gives him advanced insight into holistic and empirical treatment strategies surrounding both adolescent and adult ADHD.

Working with educators, specifically in the areas of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and educator-student interactions is an area of experience and passion for Joel. Validating the increasingly heavy burdens of educators, Joel utilizes CBT and DBT to help educators identify areas of need, while providing tangible strategies and techniques to use both inside and out of school. Joel holds a license to practice in Illinois and Wisconsin which is an added bonus for young adults and families that split their time between the states for school or business.

Joel supports teens, adults, and couples addressing a wide range of mental health concerns. He utilizes a CBT values based approach to build on individual's strengths, and is currently completing level 1 & 2 training for Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
