Therapists in Wisconsin

I am here to help when life feels overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with grief, major changes, or big emotions. We can sort through those feelings together. Our work together can translate to a better understanding of yourself, balance, and more confidence. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you will be heard, and supported without judgment. You already have many of the answers within you. Together, we'll work to uncover those answers, explore what may be holding you back, and build skills that help you feel more at ease. Therapy is a shared process, and we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My work as a licensed psychologist is grounded in the belief that people heal best when they feel heard, supported, and connected to their inherent strengths. Because no one is defined by the challenges they’re facing or a learned, unhealthy, and inaccurate view of themselves. Instead, it's that inherent strength that has gotten you to the point of reflection and recognition that you can and deserve to feel better. Over the past two decades, working at the intersection of mental health, community wellness, and systems change, this belief has guided me in nearly every setting. Yet it’s in the one‑on‑one session where this foundation matters most. My goal is to show up authentically, offer steady support, and work collaboratively to help you jmove toward greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. Whether we’re exploring a specific concern or navigating the many challenges life puts before you, my aim is to normalize the journey while helping you focus on what feels most important. And when challenges arise, we don’t view them through a deficit or blaming lens. Instead, we work together to build healthier, more sustainable ways of coping. And though the path can be challenging at times, a bit of levity or humor may surface when it’s helpful — because therapy isn’t only about what we want to change, but also about reconnecting with the emotional states we hope to cultivate. While much of this shows up in my clinical work, it’s also reflected in my broader commitments — advocating for the environment, supporting communities often dismissed or misunderstood, and using writing and organizing to amplify voices and foster connection. These experiences shape who I am and what drives my work. They’re not always front‑and‑center, but do create a compassionate backdrop where trust can grow, dialogue can unfold, and healing can happen.

I have been involved in the industry since 2017, beginning with an internship at a school-based counseling program in Milwaukee. During this period, I developed skills in advocacy and adaptability to meet client needs. In 2023, feeling exhausted from frequent school transitions, I commenced my doctoral studies in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior (currently ongoing) and enrolled in an adult developmental course. I became deeply interested in the subject matter and decided to transition from school-based services to providing telehealth support for adults. While I continue to work with children, my primary focus has shifted toward adult clients. My preferred aspect of this role is the opportunity to serve clients across Wisconsin in the comfort of their homes. My hobbies are playing and watching softball, watching BananaBall, reading, and crafting.

I am a caring, loving grandmother who desires to help others with my knowledge and experiences. I am a therapist who gives all of the resources to their clients to reach the success they want in their lives, what I do not know, I will seek out to help my clients. I want my clients to succeed in their life and prosper.

I believe that what you have been through, learned, or done does not have to define what comes next. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, attention and focus, self-esteem, or other mental health concerns, therapy can give you space to understand what is happening and find a healthier path forward. My approach combines compassion and kindness with clear, direct guidance. Together, we can look at thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck, recognize habits that are no longer helping you, and explore new ways to handle challenges. I also consider how different parts of your life and well-being connect rather than focusing on one concern in isolation. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful growth in your life and relationships.

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative space for growth and rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your lived experiences. I try to show up as a real person as well as a therapist; curious and direct. I work to prioritize care that is person centered, evidence-based, and compassion focused. I have completed training and have experience treating trauma, anxiety, grief, family challenges, divorce and life changes. I don't lead with how you might fit or not fit into a diagnostic box. I hope you'll show up in a therapy space as your whole self. I understand that life can lead us in directions we didn't see coming, and how much strength it can take to change course and try to find ourselves again.

Hi, I'm Sheridan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm so glad you're here! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, and my goal is to make the process feel as comfortable and approachable as possible. I believe healing happens through connection, self-understanding, and having a space where you don't have to carry everything on your own. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and move toward change that feels aligned and authentic to who you are.​ I believe we as humans are meant for more than just "survival mode." While life can shape us in powerful ways, it does not have to define what is possible for us. We all deserve the chance to reconnect with ourselves, cultivate meaningful relationships, and build lives that feel intentional, fulfilling, and truly our own.

Besides my educational and professional experiences, I have gone through my own life experiences and challenges. Clients come to me when their emotions feel too intense, their patterns feel unmanageable, or their relationships feel strained. Many are dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, avoidance, or habits that no longer serve them. They want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn how to respond in healthier, more grounded ways. I help clients move forward by combining warmth with structure. Together, we create meaningful change that clients can carry into every part of their lives.

We will create a supportive space to better understand yourself. This helps us move forward with confidence. I also enjoy working with individuals navigating neurodivergence. Additional support can help clients overcome unique challenges from school, work, and relationships. In therapy, we often begin by slowing things down. This helps us explore how your current experiences connect to larger patterns. Together, we will easily manage difficult thoughts and emotions. My goal is to create a genuine, accepting relationship so that you can truly be yourself. I use EMDR, existential therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. But these are always tailored to your individual needs. We will work together at a pace that feels comfortable. Even if you are working through trauma, managing stress, or seeking self-insight.
