I’m Meg, and I work with teens who are tired of adults pretending they’ve got it all together. I keep things real, I don’t sugarcoat. I listen, I don't judge, and I help teens figure out life, feelings, and all the weird stuff in between without making it awkward. If you show up as you are, I’ll meet you there — hoodie, eye roll, and all.

I have worked in the front lines of the overdose crisis as a therapist for over 20 years. I have led clinics, founded non-profits, started peer networks, done advocacy and policy work; but always the most meaningful work I've done is working with clients. Being able to walk with someone on their healing journey and see their capacity for change is such an honor. I have the lived experience of healing from severe opioid and stimulant use disorder, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I know that my recovery started with people that unconditionally loved me and when I learned to love myself. There is no place for shame or judgement in the work that I do. I will always treat you as the expert on your own experience. I know that reaching out for help is an act of bravery. I am constantly amazed at the resilience of humans. I hope that you will reach out and begin the journey of learning to love yourself.

I'm Liz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has vast experience working with individuals throughout the lifespan. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Many clients I work with are used to holding it all together. You may be successful, responsible, and the one others rely on. However, underneath, you may feel anxious, depressed, exhausted, or like you’re constantly pushing through. You may notice patterns of overthinking, struggling to slow down, struggling to cope, or feeling disconnected from your emotions or sense of self. Often, these patterns are rooted in past experiences that your mind and body learned to adapt to in order to keep you going. Trauma is not just something that happened in the past; it can live in the body, shape how you relate to yourself and others, and influence how safe the world feels. I approach therapy through a relational, trauma-informed lens. Together, we will begin to gently untangle patterns, process past experiences, provide coping and resources to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, incorporating techniques from CBT, attachment-based therapy, play-based interventions, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skill-building. I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem concerns, social difficulties, trauma-related experiences, and life transitions. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy approach used to help individuals process distressing experiences, trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions in a safe and supportive way. EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less emotionally overwhelming and disruptive in daily life.

Hello! My name is Michelle Elert, a Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in Substance Use and Anxiety. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals navigate the complex relationship between anxiety and substance use. I work with clients who exist in the "gray area" of substances—where you may not need a detox center, but you know your relationship with substances is no longer serving you. I won't just nod and listen; I will actively help you build a toolkit to handle life’s stressors with clarity and confidence. You deserve a life where you don't just "get through" the week—you actually enjoy it. Let’s break the cycle of anxiety and shame together.

Hi all, I’m Sara! I’ve spent the past 9 years working in the mental health field, across inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, and residential levels of care. I am licensed in 4 states (MN, IL, WI, and MA) I strive to create a space where individuals feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. My passion for this work comes not only from professional training but also from personal experiences that have deepened my appreciation for resilience, compassion, and authentic human connection. I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time—when appropriate, humor can be a meaningful part of the healing process and help make difficult conversations feel a little more approachable. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and hoarding disorder, and frequently use evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients build confidence in facing fears and reclaiming their lives.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Wisconsin rather than a city like Milwaukee?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Wisconsin. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Wisconsin from Madison to Green Bay! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Wisconsin.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
