When abundant life and fulfilling relationships seem out of reach

Christian-centered therapy for men, women, couples and teens experiencing restlessness, overwhelm, or disappointment in their relationships with self, God, or others



Is something not working quite right in your relationship with self, God, or others?

It wasn’t meant to be this way; and you certainly weren’t meant to figure it out alone.

Hi! I’m Bethany LeMieux, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Waukesha, WI. Since 2012, I have helped men, women, couples, and teens heal the hurts that bind and restore peace in themselves and their relationships.

Licensed Professional Counselor Bethany LeMieux

About Our Provider

  • I am thankful for the robust psychological training I have received that has enhanced the work God has called me to do. It provides strategies that compliment and work in concert with my faith to be a helper to others. I graduated with a Masters in Counseling from UW-Whitewater in 2012, which is a CACREP accredited program. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin (#7253-125).

  • I am curious and always exploring something new! I have received continuing education in treatment modalities and areas such as: Complex Trauma Treatment, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Self-Criticism and Shame Resolution, Affair Recovery, Betrayal Trauma, Written Exposure Therapy for Trauma, and Forgiveness. I am also a certified Prepare and Enrich Facilitator.

  • I am a wife to my college sweetheart and a mother to 3 teen/tween-age children. If I’m not at work or with my family, you could find me at my bootcamp-style gym, on a walk with a friend, or listening to a podcast while cleaning my house!

Christian-Centered Counseling

My Christian beliefs are like ‘the prescription in the glasses I wear’ to see and understand everything I encounter.

Psychology rightly assumes that people matter, life can be hard, and that we can have hope for change; but it can’t tell you why. For me, the biblical story arc of creation, fall, redemption, and ultimate restoration creates the foundation for my therapy practices.

Christian principles that guide my work…

  • Imago Dei

    Every human is made in the ‘image of God’ and reflects an essence of God’s nature in unique ways. It grounds dignity and inherent worth. It is true for everyone and cannot be earned, increased, or decreased by abilities or behaviors. You matter because your worth was given at creation.

  • Shalom

    A Hebrew word encompassing the ideas of wholeness, peace, harmony, and connectedness. It was the original order of the world at creation, a state of flourishing that was disrupted by the fall. At a deep human level, we long to return to shalom: restored relationship with God, others, ourselves, and the world.

  • Restoration

    God’s desire has always been to restore what was broken and return the world to wholeness. Rather than abandoning creation, God moves toward it with repair, reconciliation, and renewal. Jesus embodies this restoring work. Through His life, teachings, healings, and self-giving love, He shows what restoration looks like and invites us into it.

“… like a female Mr. Rogers”

attentive and warm counseling care

A client once told me that time with me was like meeting with a ‘female Mr. Rogers!’ I found that hilarious (because I do change into comfier sweaters and shoes when I get home) and humbling to be given such a wonderful comparison. Mr. Rogers absolutely embodied the presence of Jesus I wish to emulate: He treated everyone as inherently worthy and securely loved. His calm, gentle warmth and attentiveness made people feel seen, safe, and valued. You will always receive my delight and undivided attention. “I have always wanted to have a client just like you!”

I am here for you.

Therapy with me is…

  • Christian-Centered

    My work is framed by what God has revealed about His character, promises, and human nature; and the Holy Spirit guides me. I am motivated by love and will respect you no matter where you are in your spiritual beliefs.

  • Trauma-Informed

    Every past experience imprints on us, whether we are aware of it or not. Uncovering and connecting the dots between past harm and current difficulties deserves special care and understanding.

  • Compassionately Curious

    I delight to know you, and I truly feel privileged to be invited into your life! I will cheer, support, and guide you every step you take. I am patient with your process. I trust you to act on feedback when you are ready.

  • Collaboratively Holistic

    We are mind, body, and spirit who live in communities. Each of those areas is significant! Psychotherapy is ‘one spoke on the wheel’ of wellness, and I encourage you to have as many supports as possible.
