‘Her impact on our patients and programs is truly invaluable’: Sheboygan therapist recognized as newest TULIP Award recipient
On June 11, Rogers celebrated our latest TULIP Award winner, which recognizes individuals who make a distinct difference for our patients and their loved ones.
This most recent award presentation recognized winner Amy Miles, a therapist in Sheboygan. A former patient had this to say about Amy in her nomination:
“During my three months at Rogers Behavioral Health, I had the opportunity to work with Amy as my therapist. Throughout that time, she demonstrated a high level of dedication, organization, and genuine commitment to supporting patients in meaningful ways. She was attentive, thoughtful, and consistently provided helpful feedback that encouraged reflection and growth.
“One of the things I appreciated most was how proactive she was in helping with important administrative and financial matters. This allowed me to focus on treatment while knowing those important responsibilities were being handled correctly.
“Amy frequently reviewed worksheets and information packets that I completed between sessions, and she took the time to write thoughtful comments and feedback directly on them. Those responses helped reinforce the skills we were working on and made the material more meaningful.
“Overall, Amy went above and beyond what I expected from a therapist. Her efforts made a meaningful difference in my experience at Rogers Behavioral Health, and I am grateful for the care and professionalism she demonstrated throughout my time in the program.”
Keegan Rhynas, director of operations in Sheboygan, says Amy is incredibly dedicated to her patients and makes their care her top priority, writing the following in her nomination:
“She creates an environment where patients feel safe, supported, and understood, while also challenging them to grow and holding them accountable to their goals. Amy exemplifies what it means to connect with compassion, both in the group room and through her day-to-day interactions with patients and colleagues.
“Her clinical expertise, genuine care, and unwavering commitment to those she serves make a meaningful difference every day. The Sheboygan team is fortunate to have Amy.”
Oliver Hanson, behavior specialist, Sheboygan, received an honorable mention after being nominated by a former patient, who wrote this:
“From the very beginning, Oliver has shown genuine kindness, patience, and compassion. He creates a space where I feel safe, heard, and respected, which has made it possible for me to open up about difficult experiences and emotions.
“Through his guidance, I have begun to understand my mental health challenges in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Oliver has helped me develop tools and insights that are allowing me to move forward and begin the process of healing. His encouragement and steady support have given me hope during a time when I needed it most.
“I am truly grateful for Oliver’s dedication and the positive role he has played in helping me start my healing journey. His kindness, knowledge, and commitment to his work make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people he helps, including mine.”
