For the past 20 years, I have worked with families, couples, adults, and adolescents. Using cognitive-behavioral theory with narrative techniques, I help empower clients to explore areas within their lives that present challenges and inhibit change, and assist them with finding solutions that will work for them. However, I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital component within any program, which means that I believe that any work needs to be collaborative between myself and my clients. I am certified to deliver trauma-focused treatments as well as providing services to help manage stress and anxiety.

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.

On the outside, you might look like you have it together—but internally, things can feel scattered, overwhelming, or harder than they “should” be. Maybe your mind doesn’t slow down, your emotions come in fast, or you keep finding yourself in the same patterns in relationships. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works primarily with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and relational stress. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and mentalization-based therapy, which means we look beneath the surface to understand the patterns shaping how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others. I also integrate somatic and relational work, so this isn’t just about insight—it’s something you can actually feel and use. Over time, clients often notice they’re less overwhelmed, more intentional in their relationships, and better able to follow through in ways that feel more sustainable. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to you. We’re not trying to force you into a system—we’re working to understand how your system already works.

Hi. I'm Mary, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with growtherapy! I am a therapist working in Private Practice and contract with growtherapy and others, to see clients throughout Wisconsin most of the week. I've been doing this for quite some time now, maybe 25 or so years. My husband and I have a 3 year old grandson that keeps us running! We get to take care of him two days a week. I really enjoy working with those who primarily have situational and emotional difficulties with anxiety, stress, ego-strength and unresolved relationship or family issues. Anxiety is so prevalent in our society now, it's epidemic. Relationships are nearly vital for our survival. I say nearly, as many of us suffer here so much, as well. Conflict in relationships, families, friendships, can sometimes be brutal. We all have known people that let us down; people will abandon us; people sometimes die on us; the ideal is that we all have a trusted therapist, at one time or another that we can work things out with. When you feel you're ready, I'd like to help.

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.

"Healing is possible, even when it feels far away." I'm Liz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes working with adults who are struggling with trauma/PTSD and provide safe, trauma-informed environment for those ready to start the process towards healing. 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.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania; I'm also licensed in Wisconsin. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present and having a healthy relationship with yourself. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core. I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there are many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: (www.everystepforward.com). And, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

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. My goal is to help children and adults feel empowered, understood, and capable of navigating life with greater confidence, healing, and emotional well-being.

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.
