I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD-related overwhelm, identity concerns, or relationship stress. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative. I focus on helping you gain clarity, better understand your emotional patterns, and build coping skills you can use in your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about rushing change or having all the answers right away. Sessions are paced to meet you where you are and are focused on steady, meaningful progress over time. My goal is to create a calm and supportive space where you can feel understood while working toward changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

Hello, my name is Julee. I believe the most meaningful way I can help clients is by first taking the time to truly understand them-their goals, challenges, and what success looks like from their perspective. Every client comes with a unique set of circumstances, and I aim to approach each situation with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to listening before acting.

Hi, it's nice to meet you; I'm Katie. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and earned my Master’s Degree from Lakeland University. Outside of my professional work, I live in Waunakee, Wisconsin, on five acres with my partner, our three dogs, a rabbit, and a colony of bee's. Much of my free time is spent caring for and enjoying our animals. I also love reading, cooking, gardening, and traveling. One of my favorite passions is showing my horse, Rip, competitively. My life outside of work has given me many opportunities to appreciate the importance of patience, connection, curiosity, and being present in the moment. Whether I'm working with clients, spending time with my animals, gardening, or traveling somewhere new, I value the opportunity to learn more about the world and the people in it.

At our core, we’re all wired for love and connection. Life experiences—like trauma, loss, or unmet needs—can make it hard to live in that truth. The therapeutic relationship can serve as a vehicle to aid in reconnecting with yourself and explore safe connection to another. My approach is eclectic and focused on the present moment, drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, IFS, and working with paradoxes in thought. Past clients have described my style as “compassionate, but not coddling.” I believe each person comes to therapy with their own innate wisdom, and I value collaboration and shared ownership in the healing process.

I am an experienced clinician who finds deep meaning and reward in my work with individuals and families. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting children, adults, and families across a variety of settings, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience. As an older clinician, I bring both professional expertise and life experience into my practice, allowing me to connect with clients in a thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded way. I consider it an honor to work with individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a Military Family Life Counselor, supporting service members and their families during my son’s time in the United States Marine Corps. This experience further strengthened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by military families and deepened my commitment to service. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy fishing, camping, and engaging in a variety of arts and crafts, which provide balance, creativity, and renewal.

Hello! Thanks for pausing on my profile. I'm Mary, a therapist working in Private Practice. I contract with GROW Therapy and others, to meet with people virtually, throughout Wisconsin. 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. The rest of the time, I devote to hiking and fishing with my mate & dog, between talking with people like you, maybe looking for an ear and heart to listen and work through situational or emotional difficulties. Often, I see many who are having trouble 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, with which we can work things through. When you feel you're ready, I'd like to help.

I believe healing begins with understanding. Many of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that bring people to therapy are not signs of weakness or failure—they are often adaptations that developed in response to difficult experiences, stress, or adversity. While these patterns may have helped you cope or protect yourself at one point in your life, they can sometimes create challenges in relationships, work, and overall well-being. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences without judgment. Together, we will work to understand not only what is happening in your life, but also why certain patterns may have developed and whether they continue to serve you today. Earlier experiences in my own life taught me that adversity can shape the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. Through these experiences, I developed a deep appreciation for how the mind and nervous system adapt to help us navigate challenges. The mind is designed to prioritize safety and survival, and many of the symptoms people experience are understandable responses to difficult circumstances rather than character flaws. While these adaptations may have been necessary at one point, healing often involves learning new ways of responding that better support the life you want to build. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, build resilience, strengthen boundaries, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Together, we can help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.

Hello, my name is Casey Denzine! I've been a therapist for nine years and have learned quite a bit from the experience and getting therapy myself. I'm a creative with a penchant for pondering, laughter, and a little bit of mischief. I also love me fantasy fiction, complicated board games, and all the animals. Regarding my therapeutic approach, I find it best to pull from a variety of modalities to better support the diversity between and within clients. My favorites include Internal Family Systems (of which I am informed), Role-Play Therapy, narrative models, Jungian and transpersonal psychology, and breathwork/mindfulness.

I’m a therapist who believes that meaningful change happens in a space where people feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Many of my clients come to me during moments of overwhelm, transition, or emotional stuckness. My role is to offer a calm, compassionate environment where you can slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and begin building a life that feels more manageable and worth living. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also support individuals who struggle with coping around substance use, as well as their families, who often carry their own layers of worry, confusion, and hope. In addition, I work with those experiencing disordered eating, helping them understand the emotional patterns behind their relationship with food and develop healthier, more sustainable ways of caring for themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‑based practices. I integrate cognitive‑behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and trauma‑informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs and pace. I see therapy as a partnership — one where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reconnect with yourself in a deeper, more grounded way. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or navigating challenges within your family, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who works with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support clients in a variety of settings, including as a school counselor, a mental health provider in a county jail, in private practice, and now through Grow Therapy. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on the unique challenges people face and the resilience they bring to the counseling process. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of childhood trauma. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. One of my passions is helping people understand how their brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and the world around them. I believe that when we understand why we think, feel, and react the way we do, we can approach healing with greater self-compassion and confidence. While trauma can have a lasting impact, I believe growth beyond trauma is possible, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing and a more fulfilling life. I earned my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, my master's degree in Counseling, and my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I value lifelong learning and strive to incorporate evidence-based practices into my work while tailoring therapy to each client's unique needs and goals. When I'm not working, I enjoy crocheting and other crafts, spending time with my dogs, biking, and traveling. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey and helping you build the skills and insight needed to create lasting, positive change.

I became a psychotherapist because I believe deeply in the human capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. For me, therapy is a collaborative process- one where we work together to understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and uncover new ways of approaching life with greater clarity and compassion. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on building a safe, supportive relationship. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a therapeutic experience where you feel genuinely seen and understood. Together, we’ll explore not only the challenges you’re facing but also the strengths, values, and resources you already carry within you.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
