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.

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 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.

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.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with extensive experience working with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings, helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult experiences while rediscovering their strengths and sense of purpose. In addition to my clinical experience, I am a United States Air Force veteran and former first responder. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the unique challenges associated with high-stress professions, trauma exposure, operational demands, transition struggles, and the pressure of carrying significant responsibility while managing your own well-being. As a result, I have a particular passion for working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others whose careers require them to care for others while often neglecting themselves.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in providing compassionate and effective services tailored to individuals of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds, spanning from childhood to adulthood.

My dedication to continuous learning ensures that I remain at the forefront of advancements in the field, allowing me to provide the highest quality care.

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 Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with experience supporting adolescents, adults, older adults, and families through a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, caregiver burnout, chronic health conditions, grief and loss, family conflict, and major life transitions. I also have experience providing therapeutic services within restorative justice settings, supporting young adults in exploring the circumstances and experiences that have shaped their responses while building healthier coping strategies and pathways forward.

With over 10 years of experience as an educator, school counselor, championship basketball coach, and Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a unique and well-rounded approach to therapy. My background has allowed me to connect with individuals from all walks of life, especially adolescents and families navigating challenges both in and out of the classroom. As a mother and a Christian, I understand the importance of compassion, structure, faith, and resilience in everyday life. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and relatable environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow. My approach to therapy is intentional and results-driven. I am deeply committed to helping clients experience meaningful, lasting change. By the time clients complete services, they can expect to see growth in their mindset, emotional well-being, and overall life direction. I believe therapy should not only provide support—but also transformation. Whether you are facing life transitions, emotional struggles, or behavioral challenges, I am here to walk alongside you with guidance, accountability, and care as you move toward becoming your best self.
