Trauma Life Consulting, LLC

Trauma Life Consulting, LLC Jennifer Sluga is a psychotherapist, consultant and educator/trainer specializing in complex trauma. Welcome! Life isn’t always easy. Please contact me today!

Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you. Here at Trauma Life Consulting, LLC, I realize that no two people are the same, and I tailor my therapy to meet your specific needs as an individual. I love helping people understand the things that are holding them back with an in-depth approach. After recognizing underlying problems, clients can fully realize their strengths and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things a different, healthier way. "You don't have to get stuck in a negative experience. You don't have to be a victim to external events, or internal emotions. You can use your mind to take charge of how you feel, and how you act."
-Dan Siegel

My practice specializes in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, S*xual Trauma, and Substance Abuse. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, I’m confident that I have the experience to help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life. Through therapy, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in the future. Through therapy, we can get you on track to leading a happier, more fulfilling life by equipping you with the tools you need to more efficiently and confidently manage life’s challenges. It is never too late to change and start living the life you’ve always wanted. If you’re interested in becoming a happier, more fulfilled you, I’d love to work with you every step of the way.

High-functioning doesn’t mean well-regulated.

Many women appear “put together” while their nervous systems are running on overdrive. Irritability, emotional numbing, exhaustion, or shutdown aren’t character flaws—they’re signs of overload.

Therapy can help you learn how to listen to your system instead of pushing past it.

Cassie Mortensen, MS, LPC-IT, works with women who are tired of holding everything together.

Her DBT-informed approach focuses on helping clients:
• Regulate emotions
• Set boundaries without guilt
• Navigate hormonal and life transitions
• Reconnect with themselves

Therapy becomes a place to breathe, reset, and rebuild—at a sustainable pace.

✨ This is the year. ✨

The year everything I’ve poured into my career starts to come together.

The years of trainings, the certifications, the late nights, the growth — get shared on a larger scale so more people have real access to trauma-informed mental health care. Stay tuned! THEY ARE COMING!

The year Trauma Life Consulting expands fully into a Mental Health Group Collective — serving children, teens, couples, adults, elderly… from unhealthy patterns and deep trauma to the over-functioning “I’ve got this” types (yes, I see you… and yes, I’m one too 😉).

The year I create new goals because I’m already outgrowing what I once thought was possible.

Over the last 9 months, I’ve been working behind the scenes getting credentialed — and Dean is now coming on board! We are already working with GHC-SCW, The Alliance, WPS, UHC, BCBS and more. The list keeps growing. I am also onboarding more clinicians as well and building the dream team to support you!

If you’re in Wisconsin and need support for yourself or someone you love, consider our collective.

Referrals are everything for a small business. If you’re on my friends list, you know my heart and my why. Share us. Reach out. Get on our list now so we can support you as contracts finalize.

Thank you for supporting a local, female veteran-owned business. ❤️

It’s not always about fixing symptoms—it’s about understanding patterns.

Many people seek therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because something feels misaligned. Patterns in relationships, emotions, and choices often repeat until they’re understood.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.

Overwhelm isn’t a personal failure—it’s a nervous system response.

Many women carry emotional overload while navigating hormones, motherhood, identity shifts, and unrealistic expectations. When your system is overloaded, regulation—not willpower—is what helps.

Cassie Mortensen, MS, LPC-IT, helps women build practical skills to recognize emotional and physical signals, increase distress tolerance, and respond with clarity instead of shutdown or burnout.

Therapy that meets your nervous system where it is.
In-person & virtual sessions available.

Different approaches. Shared commitment to care.

Reach out today to talk with someone to determine the best fit for you! The relationship you build leads to the amount of healing one can do!

Wellness Wednesday 🤍

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I like this?” — here’s a gentle reframe:

You’re not broken. Your nervous system is responding to what it’s carrying.

Stress, hormones, life transitions, relationships, lack of rest — they all leave fingerprints on our emotional world. Anxiety, irritability, numbness, overwhelm… these are signals, not character flaws.

In therapy, we don’t just talk about what’s wrong — we slow things down, get curious, and help your body and mind feel safe enough to regulate again.

Healing doesn’t mean eliminating stress.
It means learning how to respond to it with compassion and skill.

✨ Wellness isn’t perfection — it’s regulation, awareness, and support.

Ready to start on your own wellness journey? Reach out today to schedule your free 15-minute call to see if this might be the right fit for you.

📍In person and virtual sessions available | Self-pay, Medicaid (no HMOs), and The Alliance accepted.
