Jill Klotz-Flitter, Ph.D

Chocolate, snowboarding, and shopping can be fun and therapeutic, but sometimes they're just not enough. I work with children as young as 10, but most often see teenagers, adults, and families when struggles get in the way of fun and suffering becomes too familiar. Friends and family hopefully are there when we need them, yet a therapist can provide additional essentials: individual attention in a safe setting from a nonjudgmental viewpoint.  

 

Relationships are central to our well-being—relationships at home, school, work, and the relationships we have with ourselves. The process of therapy involves getting to know each other and building a relationship. Clients lead the dance, and I listen to your goals and help you to identify unhealthy patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and learn more about how you view yourself and the world. I emphasize client strengths and self-care. I try to “talk the talk and walk the walk” by enjoying nature, reading, and eating ice cream.

 

My doctoral degree is in clinical psychology from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Midwest is home, and I have worked primarily in community mental health and family practice settings here. I have significant experience working with clients who have a wide range of concerns including sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, family difficulties, peer problems, self-injurious behaviors, and adjustment and life transitions. I also conduct psychological assessments including intelligence and personality testing and ADHD evaluations. Finally, I teach undergraduate psychology courses at UW-Madison in human development and adolescence.
