Laurie Groh MS, LPC, SAC-IT
In 2005, I obtained my graduate degree from UW-Milwaukee in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Community Counseling. While in graduate school I worked as a mentor, tutor, and crisis worker. After graduation I became employed as a psychotherapist and also assisted on a research study relating to men and their apprehensions on seeking therapy. In 2007, as a case manager and supervisor, I gained experience working with individuals with chronic mental illness, and I began teaching graduate courses at Lakeland College. In May of 2008, I started at Alternatives in Psychological Consultation as a psychotherapist. I hope to obtain my doctorate in Counseling Psychology in the future.

Therapeutic Techniques: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I recently became interested in biofeedback techniques.

I’ve been a substitute teacher for four years and a teacher’s aide for another four years. I was a counselor at a community center for a year before coming to APC.

My approach involves looking at why life is not what the client had hoped it would be, while working on solutions using techniques that best fit the client’s situation.
