About Us - Sandra Eiler

Sandra Eiler, LPC

Ready for change??? I help my clients by listening to and assessing their needs without judgment and with complete acceptance that they are where they are and THAT IS OKAY! We can only move forward from here. I am very passionate about the mental health field, which is evident through the care of services that I provide for my clients. I have observed clients move from severe depression to thriving in all areas of their lives. As a therapist, there is nothing more rewarding for me than to see clients live the abundant, peaceful lives they are meant to live.

James Hammond, PhD, Clinical Psychologist

Is it important for you to receive a fair and accurate diagnosis with meaningful recommendations? Are you finally going to look into those complaints from your son’s elementary school about his hyper behavior or anger problems? How about your daughter’s underachievement? Or is it your boss who is very concerned about your drinking, PTSD, and those charges? Did your Primary Care Doctor suggest you were depressed or maybe even Bipolar? Do you want expert help evaluating whether your father is competent to live alone or drive now? Does he need more care?

I’ve had 30 years-experience in firmly but gently evaluating these problems with Psychological and/or Neuropsychological Testing. I use the latest scientific methods, and lots of common sense. In the Kenosha Wisconsin Area make an appointment with Dr. James Hammond, Ph.D. at Thrive Therapy Services. Results are carefully crafted and used to advocate for the best care for you or your loved one. Referrals are made to proven practitioners.

Marita Daun, LPC

I seek to offer individuals an opportunity to successfully manage obstacles so that they can persevere toward their most treasured life goals. I collaborate with individuals who are exploring the most effective ways to meet challenges or make changes. Because identifying the need for change is sometimes accompanied by feelings of internal distress, I help people to cope with feelings such as depressed mood, overwhelming physical or emotional discomfort, anxiety, or nagging fear. Ways of coping that initially alleviate stress can actually cause further distress. So, together, we explore new coping strategies and tools for living one’s most powerful life. Such exploration results in a customized toolbox which can improve mental, and often, physical health. It frees up a person’s ability to skillfully solve problems and pursue goals in life areas such as work, family, personal relationships, etc.

I often find it helpful to use my experience as a corporate trainer, employee assistance counselor, and group facilitator to assist clients in leveraging their innate talents. I also offer my experience as a college counselor, academic advisor, and substitute teacher to partner with people in formulating plans and orchestrating transitions. This may involve identifying how to make bold and brave choices in such areas as relationship or lifestyle preference, education and career, or retirement. My practice style is goal-oriented, client-centered, and strength-based. Currently, I provide outpatient psychotherapy via telehealth. I look forward to working with you!
