Anika Vallejo, MS, LPC

I am an experienced licensed professional counselor in the state of WI. I offer both online and in-person sessions out of Shorewood, WI. I am passionate about helping those who experience anxiety, overthinking, intellectualizing, adults with challenging relationship with aging parents, and grief.

As a therapist, my speciality is working with chronic overthinkers and intellectualizers. The individuals who feel overwhelmed by life's ambiguity and panicked over change, constantly looking for the "why". I know how exhausting it is to constantly question your own, and other's, actions. Feeling like you need to manage other's emotions is an exhausting, and unsustainable uphill battle. No matter how hard you try to make others happy, you end up disappointing someone.. whether that be a loved one, your boss, or yourself. This constant cycle of feeling like a failure to those you care about is crushing and keeps you spiraling.

You deserve to break this cycle. My passion is to help people who live tirelessly trying to not disappoint others stop bending backwards for those who oftentimes use their generosity against them. Learn to be present, set HEALTHY boundaries, and dive into your anxious attachment style to feel less burdened by perfection and ambiguity in your relationships.

I know starting therapy can be intimidating, and I am here to tell you that I understand and I'm here for you through it all. Send me a message so we can schedule a free, zero pressure, 15-minute consultation call and get you on the road to feeling better today! If I am not able to help you, I have a list of awesome therapists who I can direct you towards.
