Experience Change with Whole-istic Therapy

Meet Patti – Whole-istic Therapy, Sun Prairie, WI

I’m Patti, founder of Whole-istic Therapy, a licensed Mental Health Service Provider based in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. My passion is helping people navigate life’s most challenging transitions with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care. Every client’s story is unique, so I provide counseling and psychological services that are personalized, practical, and deeply supportive.

About Me

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” – Maya Angelou

Taking the first step toward change takes courage—so congratulations on beginning your journey toward a stronger, healthier version of yourself.

I grew up in central Wisconsin and have always been drawn to helping others face change—whether it arrives like a tidal wave or unfolds slowly over time. My role is to guide you through life’s transitions, helping you find direction, strength, and balance along the way.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), I’ve worked with individuals and families healing from addiction, depression, trauma, and anxiety. My professional journey is also personal: as both the child of an alcoholic and the mother of someone in recovery, I understand firsthand how life’s struggles can shape—and strengthen—us.

After two decades in a different career, I followed my calling to mental health work. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater and trained in Holistic Massage Therapy to deepen my understanding of the mind-body connection. My therapeutic style is integrative, blending Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while embracing the philosophy to “meet you where you are.”

I aim to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore, grow, and heal through open and honest communication.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’m also honored to serve the LGBTQ+ community, helping clients navigate identity development, family relationships, workplace dynamics, and the unique experience of parenting LGBTQ+ children.

My Approach

My goal is to walk alongside you—to help you identify unhelpful patterns, manage emotions, build resilience, and move forward with purpose. Whether you’re coping with grief, overcoming trauma, preventing relapse, or seeking deeper self-understanding, we’ll work together to find your best path forward.
