Our Providers

Shawna Wells, BA

Shawna Wells, BA
I have found that our connections to one another, our loved ones, and nature are at the heart of healing and joy. I offer a warm, safe, affirming space where you can feel seen, understood, and emotionally held. I trust in everyone’s innate capacity to heal, even when it is incredibly hard and it is my honor to be a witness and guide on your journey towards your goals. I’m an intersectional feminist who brings witchy, hippie, queer, cat-loving, nerdy energy into the therapy space. Additionally, I offer Ecotherapy, integrating nature into the healing process with my clients as well.

Elijah Vogel, MA

Elijah Vogel, MA
I provide an affirming, welcoming space for folks to explore their lives and relationships from a systemic, strengths-based perspective. I enjoy supporting clients as they explore identity, balance autonomy and connection, and align their lives with their values—especially around gender, neurodivergence, life changes, or work-related stress and burnout. I work with individuals across the lifespan, as well as families and partners in all relationship structures. I am kink- and BDSM-affirming. My approach draws from narrative therapy, IFS, EFT, somatic, and solution-focused modalities. I hold a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary’s University and practice under Jeong Eun Park, MS, LMFT at Edges.

Bex Wilde, LMFT

Bex Wilde, LMFT
I view life as story and the process of therapy as understanding and rewriting our stories. It can be difficult to create our own unique stories in a world that is constantly telling us who we should (or shouldn’t) be. My goal is to help you discover what is and what is not working for you in your current story and support the cultivation of new possibilities alongside you. You are capable of writing stories that help you live as your most wild, healed, and authentic self. I take a gentle, compassionate, humorous and collaborative approach to working with clients.

Rachel Mickelson, MS, LAMFT, CYT

Rachel Mickelson, MS, LAMFT, CYT
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of positive change in therapy. My practice centers on collaborative co-creation with individuals and couples. Together, we’ll identify and release patterns that no longer serve you and discover new ways to nurture deeper connections with yourself and your partner. You’ll find a warm, calm, nonjudgmental space to support your exploration.
I use a systemic, non-pathologizing, trauma-informed lens that considers family, culture, race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality. I specialize in sex therapy, communication, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all identities and relationship structures.

Ryan Jaeger, MA

Ryan Jaeger, MA
I’m a self-identified queerdo who embraces (and welcomes) their own weirdness and eccentricity. As a mental health practitioner, I strongly believe in the power of human connection through empathic listening, collaboration, and the occasional dose of well-intentioned humor. I utilize a systemic and existential lens to examine the ways in which we are affected by the systems we belong to (e.g., relationships, community, society). My work is also influenced by my lived experience with ADHD.

Finch Houdek

Finch Houdek
In a world that demands oppressed people remain quiet, small, and inoffensive, I believe recovery and joy are radical acts of resistance. I became a therapist because I wanted to offer others the support I received in the past when I most needed it, particularly queer, trans and non-binary, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, non-monogamous, and BDSM-kink-fetish communities. In therapy with me, you can trust that I will hold both your pain and your victories with the reverence and care they deserve and honor you as an expert in your own lived experiences. I specialize in working with sex and pleasure, gender identity, and partners and families.

Alyssa Perau, MA

Alyssa Perau, MA
I am a queer, neurodivergent pre-licensed marriage and family therapist. My specialty is with queer folks/autism/ADHD/ and ethical non-monogamy with couples, families, and teens/adolescents! I connect with clients through humor, playfulness, and art-making, which I believe can help work through challenges that life can throw at us.

Coltan J. Schoenike, MS, LMFT (WI), LAMFT (MN), CST

Coltan J. Schoenike, MS, LMFT (WI), LAMFT (MN), CST
I’m so excited to be here at Edges Wellness and am beyond thrilled to work alongside the many fabulous clinicians here! I entered this field because I felt, and continue to believe, that everything in our lives is connected and intertwined, with our experiences shaping us for better or worse. Humans are relational beings, and our connection to others, whether it is our families, friends, lovers, coworkers, and the like, continues to have impact on our lives until the end of our days. I think everyone can benefit from therapy, and as a therapist, I look forward to our relationship as one that can have a positive, beneficial impact on your life. In our work together, I believe you can expect a warm, affirming space where you feel respected, heard, and understood.
As a queer, transgender, and nonbinary person, I’ve come to appreciate the beautiful diversity of human experience. Taking that appreciation into my therapy work, I value the wide breadth of tools and strategies at our disposal that will allow our approaches to be custom-tailored to the needs of the client I’m working with. My personal approach as a therapist is informed by my background and experience in advocacy and social justice work. At the end of the day, I hope that if my work were to be described in one word, it would be “”affirming.”” On the note of affirming, my training as well as my experiences as a queer and transgender person have given me a special interest in working with clients who identify as LGBTQIA+, are questioning their gender or sexual orientation, or are practicing (or looking to practice) polyamory or kink in their relationships.

Nikki Real, MA

Nikki Real, MA
Hi, I’m Nikki and I believe in the power of storytelling and the inherent wisdom of our embodied experiences. Each person in this world is an expert in their own life and you have permission to be human, imperfect, and vulnerable without shame. I see therapy as a collaborative, liberatory practice for us to discover, understand, nurture, and develop your authentic stories and selves. I dream of co-creating a space where we can connect, explore, try new things, and develop functional therapeutic practice for your life together. I hope to help you find a soft spaciousness within yourself that feels connected to who you are and the values you hold.

Rachel Harris, MS, LMFT, CST

Rachel Harris, MS, LMFT, CST
My name is Rachel Harris. I am an African American female, and a first-generation student. I have received my masters in marriage and family therapy at UW-Stout. I am also a certified sex therapist. When it comes to my therapeutic approach, I am more person-centered and holistic. I love to gain insight about different areas of my client’s life. I also want my clients to have autonomy and a voice within the space. My main goal as a therapist is to create a space of safety, support, validation, and respect. I utilize many different modalities during my sessions ( EFT, Family systems, Strategic, IFS, etc.). While currently pursuing my license as a sex therapist/licensed marriage and family therapist , I have gained a lot of insight on areas such as sex/sexuality, LGBTQ+, BIPOC communities, intersectionality, etc.

Jeong Eun Park, MS, LMFT-S, CST

Jeong Eun Park, MS, LMFT-S, CST
People are amazing because they are resilient, because they are resourceful, because they can change their story. People can break patterns of abuse, can heal from intergenerational trauma, can validate their stories and who they are.
As a non-binary Korean adoptee, I resonate with people who work on changing their stories, who are healing themselves, who want to have families and relationships that are loving and caring and kind. I am part of the transgender/non-binary community as well as the polyam, pagan, and kink communities. I wish to work with individuals and families who come from these communities as well as those who are adopted and others from marginalized communities. I wish to work with those who live with chronic pain, who are physically disabled, and with neuroatypical folx. I also wish to work with sex workers, Two-Spirit folx, and BIPOC.
I am your radical queer who keeps intersectionality in mind when it comes to the people I meet. Each person is valid. Each person deserves to be seen. Each person’s story deserves to be told. I am honored to hold these stories, to be a part of the healing of these stories, and to witness how people change these stories.

Claire Avitabile, MA

Claire Avitabile, MA
I believe that people are the experts of their own lives and deserve spaces where they feel seen, heard, and affirmed. Healing happens when we consider the whole person—including our cultures, identities, and the experiences that have shaped who we are today. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults, couples, and families, and my practice is sex-positive and honors diverse identities including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship structures. I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, identity, body image, life transitions, and/or developmental trauma. Curiosity, humor, and compassion are central to my work, and I offer a collaborative space where you are encouraged to show up as your authentic self each and every day.

Kaj Benson, LMFT

Kaj Benson, LMFT
I know that you’re doing your best with the tools available. Therapy can support you in building more nourishing patterns, as well as crafting a narrative about your life that prioritizes agency and hope. My caseload tends to be: queer/trans people; trauma survivors; disabled and/or neurodivergent people; nonnormative relational orientations/structures; and marginalized religious/spiritual communities. I center these frameworks in my practice: somatic abolition, decolonization, self-compassion, and queer theory. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing.

Lora Strey Shokes, MA, LMFT

Lora Strey Shokes, MA, LMFT
Healing is part of human nature, and we are all in a constant process of growth, trying to become the best versions of ourselves. sometimes healing feels stuck or doesn’t happen as quickly as we want it to, or sometimes we don’t feel like ourselves and can’t quite pinpoint why. these are times when it is important to ask for help.

Alessandra Gaglio, MA

Alessandra Gaglio, MA
In therapy I value collaboration, humor, and compassion. I believe in a holistic approach where we consider you not as a diagnosis or set of symptoms, but as a whole, complex, capable human being. You are the expert in your own life– in our work I will strive to provide support, reflection, and camaraderie as you seek out a life that fulfills you.
As a therapist and as a person, I take the implications of the social, political, and cultural contexts in which we live seriously. I have experience working with complex trauma and PTSD as well as those with traditionally marginalized identities.
As a chronically ill and disabled therapist, I deeply appreciate working with folks on the complexities of living with illness and disability in this society. I also have experience supporting polyamorous and non-monogamous dynamics as well as BDSM and kink practices.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy reading, biking in the sunshine, and playing video games. I am working under the supervision of Leisha Suggs, LMFT.

Mason Quist, MA, LAMFT

Mason Quist, MA, LAMFT
The world is too hard to not have our people supporting us, so being seen and witnessing others is so vital. That’s why I weave gentleness, boundaries, and liberation into sessions. I work with people and relationships to explore the intersection of identities, marginalization, and co-creating belonging with equity.

Jamie Bosc, MA, LAMFT

Jamie Bosc, MA, LAMFT
I am a parent, budgeting nerd, and former chemist and process engineer turned therapist. I bring my systemic thinking to help you identify the areas in your life keeping you stuck. I value client autonomy and empowerment and want to collaborate with you to find the right path forward. I love working with LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and their families; and no topic is off-limits. Bring your financial anxiety, identity exploration, sexual concerns, or anything else, and we will figure out your next steps together.

Dale S.E. Mueller, MA

Dale S.E. Mueller, MA
I specialize in working with clients in the LGBTQIA+, aging, neurodivergent, nonmonogamous, and/or chronically ill communities around issues of identity, dysphoria, relational issues, trauma, disordered eating, grief, and self-worth. I am grounded in gender-affirming, anti-racist, anti-ablest, body-neutral, decolonial frameworks which allow us to reframe and decenter oppressive systems and internalized shame. These values, experiences, and theoretical frameworks support my goals to support clients in building trust and acceptance within themselves and promote healing and wellbeing which affirms their intersectional identities, experiences, and strengths. My role as a therapist is to meet each client where they’re at, facilitate a safe space of acceptance, reflection, and healing.

Ezra Stone, LICSW

Ezra Stone, LICSW
I love working with queer and trans folks, neurodivergent individuals, trauma survivors, and anyone who finds themselves questioning or living outside the norm. In my work with clients, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in clarifying your goals. Then we’ll work together to build on your strengths, grow skills for managing challenges, and work to create a life worth living!
In my free time I enjoy cooking, gardening, making zines, and enjoying the great outdoors!
