About
A peaceful space for growth and reflection
Blue Vista Counseling was created to provide a safe, respectful space for individuals and couples to heal, build resilience, embrace their strengths, and work through challenges.
I help clients in-person at my Milwaukee, WI office and virtually across Wisconsin as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, stress, intimacy or fertility challenges, and adoption issues.
“I have taken a moment to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come.”
-Nelson Mandela
Embrace Your Blue Vista
The name Blue Vista was inspired by this quote, which suggests that the beauty of life is all around us and that we need to allow ourselves time to rest and reflect to appreciate how far we’ve come. My goal is to help my clients find their own “Blue Vista” - a sense of progress and promise of the future.
Meet Your Therapist
Welcome! My name is Catherine Dupar Skelly, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience and the Founder of Blue Vista Counseling.
I believe each person has the ability to heal within themselves, and my role is to provide unconditional support, guidance, and evidence-based treatment to help you get there.
My approach includes a blend of science and art, allowing me to offer evidence-based techniques that offer structure and direction with the creativity and flexibility needed to respond to your unique needs and circumstances.
Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can explore challenges, discover new perspectives, and move toward the changes you want in your life.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about the arts, whether I’m getting lost in a good book, wandering a museum, discovering new music, or enjoying a good film. Travel feeds my curiosity about different cultures, especially their cuisines, which I love recreating in my own kitchen (even when it’s a disaster). I feel most content spending time with my family and being by the ocean or our beautiful Lake Michigan.
I look forward to meeting you!
