About Tom
Tom Gozinske is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with seven years of clinical experience in Wisconsin. He helps people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and related concerns. Tom’s approach is straightforward and practical. He encourages clients to take the first step and offers clear next steps for starting therapy.
In sessions he focuses on talking through what is most pressing. He listens to how symptoms affect daily life and helps people set small, doable goals. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches used to reduce resistance and support change in behavior.
Tom also works with issues linked to relationships and mood, including addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and self-esteem struggles. He addresses family-related topics such as blended family strain, caregiver stress, and communication problems. He pays attention to attachment patterns, abandonment worries, and neurodiversity matters like autism and Asperger Syndrome.
When trauma or loss are part of the picture, sessions aim to help a person manage reactions and rebuild routines that feel manageable. He helps people navigate life changes and the practical steps that follow separation, divorce, or major transitions. The tone in sessions is direct and supportive while staying focused on what a person wants to change.
