Marilee Sonnen, LPC Virginia/PLPC MN
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling 

Hello and welcome!  We can explore your needs and goals together to find meaning and discover new paths. Through empathy and positivity, I promote dignity, providing knowledge and resources to empower you, increase your strengths, and improve your overall well-being.

I work with children, adults, couples, or families experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, transitions and loss, trauma, or relationship problems. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I am dedicated to building a strong therapeutic alliance by providing a trustworthy and warm environment without judgment to meet your individualized needs.

Together, we will explore possibilities of change and gain self-awareness and new perspectives. I am passionate about helping those hurting, lacking support, or seeking guidance where you are seen, heard, and understood in every session to manage life’s challenges better and begin your journey toward healing.

Tessa Fultz, LICSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker in WI & MN


I have been working in mental health for 8 years. Mental health and wellness are my passions! I enjoy helping each person find hope, meaning and asking meaningful questions to discover what is the most helpful, unique approach & solution to each person. I work with children, teens and adults in individual sessions. I can also do parent-child sessions. Even littles 0-5 yrs. old.   I am here to provide a safe, calm, caring space so together we can help you get to the place you want to be or to gain the inner healing and peace you're wanting. I am trained in early intervention, autism, EMDR trauma informed basic training, diagnosing children 0-5 years old or older, in helping adults through abuse, trauma and other diagnoses.

I have worked in a wide variety of settings. I have 3 beautiful children who have had their own struggles as well as I've had my struggles with mental health. I feel I can really relate to clients and offer practical strategies that work for both kids and adults. All my experiences, professionally and personally, have helped shape me and empowered me to pay it forward so I can help others learn what I've learned and what works to overcome whatever it is you are going through!  I have been a military spouse, travelled, and helped people with all different backgrounds, faiths, diagnoses and traumas.
