Getting to know Colleen Watters

Hi there, I'm Colleen! My name is Colleen Watters, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wauwatosa, WI, with over twenty years of experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Arizona State University. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adult women who are trying to juggle everything from work, kids, and relationships, while also finding time to care for themselves. This often causes depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and feeling overwhelmed. I work to help my clients set realistic goals for themselves and increase their overall satisfaction in life. My communication style My communication style is interactive, caring, and personable. I want my clients to feel they can be open and honest with me. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I have been the sister, daughter, and friend that everyone seems to turn to due to my calm nature and willingness to listen without judgment. It brings me joy to see others feel better and get the most they can out of this life we have! My goals for you My approach to setting goals for my clients is a joint effort. I want to work together to ensure the goals are attainable and don't lead to further frustration. This may take numerous sessions and ongoing changes as we move through the process together.
