Carlos Ortega, LPC - Owner and Therapist
Hello, and welcome to Horizon of Healing Counseling LLC! I’m Carlos Ortega, the owner and therapist here. With multiple years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I have a strong background in interpersonal communication and combine various evidence-based therapeutic approaches to create a personalized treatment plan for each client. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Processing to address your unique needs and help you achieve lasting emotional well-being.
As the owner of Horizon of Healing Counseling LLC, I am deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and thrive. Whether you’re dealing with stress, relationship challenges, or looking for personal growth, I am here to help you work through life’s challenges and create meaningful change.
“Carlos is an incredibly kind, compassionate, and empathetic practitioner. I think highly of his work and his ability to build genuine connections with his clients."

Kate Semenak, LCSW - Therapist
My name is Kathryn “Kate” Semenak and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My approach is based in collaboration between therapist and client to explore therapeutic techniques to meet your individual needs and goals. My goals for therapy are to help you gain insight, coping strategies, be able to process life’s daily stressors, and to empower you to maintain a more balanced lifestyle.
I have worked for over 7 years in the mental health field and utilize various theoretical frameworks including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. I also have worked primarily with those struggling with substance use. While abstinence is ideal, I support harm reduction techniques and aim to assist in helping you reduce your substance use or to gradually progress towards a life of sobriety. I take a genuine, compassionate, and realistic approach to each individual. Each person is unique; thus each approach must be unique.
I want my clients to feel safe within our sessions and encourage a laid back, but professional environment to build rapport and trust. From our conversations, we can brainstorm ways in which we can work together to address concerns.
In my free-time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my two cats. I'm an avid gamer (PC) and enjoy reading manga, watching anime, drawing, and playing Magic the Gathering.
"I've had the privilege of working alongside Kate and witnessing her exceptional care as a therapist. She's empathetic, nonjudgmental and deeply skilled at creating a safe space for growth. Her warmth and dedication make her an incredible guide in healing."
