Troy Bruns , LPC

Troy Bruns brings two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and other life transitions. He holds a masters degree in counseling from the University of Iowa and maintains professional credentials in Wisconsin as an LPC, a license to practice professional counseling, and as a CSAC, a credential for working with substance use concerns. He balances clinical work with teaching, serving as an instructor for substance use disorder counselor students at CVTC while also maintaining a private practice.

Over more than a dozen years in private practice, Troy has worked across a range of treatment settings, including emergency room assessments focused on primary suicidal evaluations, hospital and clinic programs, inpatient and outpatient substance use services, non profit and for profit agencies, employee assistance counseling, and work with clients who have correctional system involvement. This breadth of experience informs a pragmatic approach to care that attends to both immediate needs and longer term recovery and coping.

Troy prioritizes understanding what each person is experiencing and building a collaborative working alliance. He emphasizes client empowerment and collaborative problem solving, and he offers weekend and some evening hours to increase access for people managing busy schedules. He provides services in English and practices from Wisconsin.
