Therapy for Mid-State students.

Mid-State Technical College sits in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Telehealth means you can keep your therapist when you go home for break, when you transfer, when you graduate and move across the state for the first real job. The free 15 minutes consult tells you whether we are a fit before you commit to anything.

Mid-State serves a population the four-year world rarely discusses: working adults, parents going back to school for a credential, students stacking a full-time job alongside classes. The stressors look different. Less "what is my major," more "how do I make this all fit" and "what happens if the financial aid runs out."

Telehealth is built for this. Sessions fit on a lunch break or after the kids are down for the night. BadgerCare and most insurance plans cover it. I see Mid-State students from around Wisconsin Rapids and from wherever in Wisconsin you live.

What students typically bring.

  • Balancing a credential program against a job, kids, and the rest of life.
  • Returning to school after years away. The self-doubt that comes with sitting in classes again.
  • Financial stress that is not abstract.
  • Family-of-origin patterns that show up in adult relationships.
  • Burnout from the working-while-studying schedule.
  • Career transitions in mid-life.

How the work fits a college schedule.

Telehealth sessions are 50 minutes. Most students start weekly or every other week and adjust from there. You can sit in your dorm, your apartment, or the quiet corner of a library study room with headphones; the only requirement is somewhere you will not be interrupted for an hour. Sessions hold over breaks and over the summer if you want them to.

Free 15 minutes consult comes first. We talk about what brings you in and whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I tell you that, and where to look. No pressure to commit on that call.

Insurance and cost.

I accept BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance plans including those carried by student health plans. If you are on a parent's plan from outside Wisconsin, telehealth from a Wisconsin therapist may or may not be covered; we can check together on the consult call. Out-of-pocket session fee is $125 with sliding-scale consideration for students who need it.

Around Wisconsin Rapids more broadly.

If you live off-campus in Wisconsin Rapids or in the towns around it, the same telehealth applies. The Wisconsin Rapids therapy page lists the topics I cover for clients across the city, not just students.

The hardest part is reaching out. After that, I take it from there.
