Allie Eichenhofer, BFA, LCSW practices in a charming studio in downtown Port Washington, WI. Here, she offers therapy and counseling services to children, families and adults in need of social and emotional support. The studio is filled with supplies and materials with which clients can explore their emotions and creative strengths to overcome obstacles in their lives.
Allie received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2012. There, she studied Communication Design while integrating her painting and illustration skills with marketable design fundamentals. She used this experience through several internships and contracted positions with the visual merchandising departments at Nordstrom and Anthropologie, the set design team at KOHLER Company, and a group of installation artists in Chicago, IL.
While primarily using her creative strengths to make ends meet, Allie began working with children as a part time nanny. During this time, she fell in love with helping kids learn and grow through the creative process. After experiencing this, Allie made the decision to return to school for a Master’s Degree in Social Work, which she obtained in 2018. Since then she has worked with places such as St. John’s XXIII, St. Francis Children’s Center, The Youth and Family Project, The Center for Autism Treatment, and Ozaukee Family Services helping children and families facing social and emotional obstacles. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin.
