About Sonia Wiesner

As a licensed therapist in Wisconsin, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, family conflicts, and workplace stress. I have extensive experience working with older adults and supporting individuals through significant life transitions, including divorce, separation, and midlife challenges. My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique needs. I focus on helping people develop healthier communication patterns, overcome social anxiety, process feelings of guilt and shame, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, heal from past traumas, and develop resilience. I am particularly passionate about supporting women through various life stages, addressing attachment issues, caregiver stress, and domestic violence recovery. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves more deeply, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful personal growth.
