About Me

Hi there!

I'm Jodie Nicole Hoekman, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin.

I am passionate about helping you empower yourself and expand your horizons by stepping outside your comfort zone.

I understand how challenging it can be to make changes.

Mindful-Wisdom-Therapy

I've personally struggled with depression and social anxiety.

My social anxiety led me to avoid things, while my depression led to making poor choices.

Thankfully, with the help of a great therapist and support network, as well as a lot of hard work, I've learned healthier ways to cope.

Though I still experience anxiety and avoidance, I am more aware of these reactions, which are both empowering and daunting.

Why I Do This Work:

Making changes can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. I witnessed this firsthand while working with individuals who were unable to function due to anxiety. I supported them as they faced their fears and struggles. I watched their fears and doubts melt away and saw them leave the facility as completely transformed individuals. Witnessing these personal transformations impacted me and fueled my desire to complete my master's program to help others.

I am here to support you as you make the necessary changes to improve your life.

Additionally, I want to see a positive change in the world. By helping you, I hope to set off a ripple effect. This world needs more compassion, empathy, and a willingness to shift our perspectives to understand one another.

The mission of Mindful Wisdom is to help you get back in touch with your authentic self and learn to accept yourself for who and what you are, flaws and all.

I acknowledge that this is a daunting task. Yet, I hope that by working together, you can better understand yourself and learn balance to navigate your future more effectively.
