Ali Ambroso, MA, LPC

My focus is on helping clients stop suffering through integrating their pain or trauma. Everyone handles life experiences and situations differently, and often we aren’t prepared to effectively handle the emotional consequences. Whether your pain has been the result of adverse experiences over a lengthy period of time or a more recent painful experience, you deserve to take the time and explore what counseling has to offer you. I use a collaborative approach to therapy with my emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have an emphasis on working with families adjusting to change and finding effective ways for each family member to cope. I see clients in our Menasha office.

Leah Szemborski, MS, LPC

Hi! I’m Leah. People tell me that my down-to-earth counseling style helps them feel at ease. My faith is very important to me and helping people discover God’s plans and purposes for their life is something I really enjoy. I realize that not everyone has a strong faith, though, and that’s OK. I will support you to make good and healthy choices regardless of your spiritual perspectives. My counseling approach is based in loads of compassion, and a little bit of tough love. I accept you as you are but will help you make new (and often difficult!) changes so you can live your best life. I work with all ages out of our Menasha and Oshkosh offices.
