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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of work, parenting, or life in general? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with adults who are struggling to manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression, especially those trying to juggle the pressures of professional and personal responsibilities. I have a special focus on supporting educators and school professionals who often give so much to others that their own well-being takes a back seat.
Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to help you feel better and find a sense of balance again.
Before transitioning into private practice, I spent 34 years working in public schools, helping students, families, and staff navigate life’s challenges. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how stress shows up across all areas of life—and how important it is to have a safe place to process, heal, and grow.

I enjoy constant and continue growth in the field of psychotherapy. I am currently working on a National Cognitive Behavior Therapy Certification with the Beck Institute and every Friday I attend a two hour psychotherapist workshop. Greetings!

I have specialized in the field of addiction for over twenty-five years, addressing the underlying issues of trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. My life experiences have been my best teacher and motivated me at a late age, to return to school to earn a master's degree in counseling psychology.

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.

Hello! I’m Jordan, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. Throughout my life I have found hope and healing alongside my equine partners and in nature. My personal and professional journey has been beautifully intertwined with my horses and filled with intention to live in authenticity. As I embraced my healing path toward authenticity, I discovered that my true purpose lies in helping others.

Hello! My name is Adam Lenker. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas and Wisconsin. Whatever you are dealing with, know that I am here to listen and support you, through harnessing of compassionate self-awareness. I believe strongly in encouraging self-empowerment, focusing on choices and their results. Central to my theoretical orientation (Person-Centered, Existentialist) is a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, being solution-focused, as well as encouraging mindfulness.
A little bit about how I approach therapy. In creating an alliance with a new client, I adopt a stance of listening and confronting situations non-judgmentally and with compassion, acknowledging that this work is about you, and your life's goals and struggles. My practice is built around partnership with my clients, working hard to establish and maintain this therapeutic alliance. I do this by taking cues of direction, pace and depth from the people with whom I work, and allowing for immediacy to inform what is and is not working.

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.

Hi, I am Jenn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the owner of Epijennetics Counseling and Consulting in Libertyville, Illinois.. You can read more about my work and practice at www.epijennetics.com. As a therapist, I hold the belief that we cannot fully understand mental health without first understanding the impact of our stories, our relationships, and our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. I am passionate about helping clients increase their self-awareness of these things so that they are more in touch with their feelings, needs, and desires, and are more equipped with the knowledge and tools to create the life that they want. By utilizing assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to better understand personality and the Young Schema Assessment to explore harmful thoughts and beliefs that came from previous experiences and messages received during childhood years, I help clients discover hidden obstacles that keep them from having the life they dream of. I have found that when we put in the work to make sense of ourselves and our stories, we not only heal and grow ourselves but also develop more compassion and increased understanding of others. Often this growth and healing process lessens mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression and improves overall quality of life, as well as relationship quality. If you are interested in doing some exploring, I would love to hear from you! (Please make an in-office appointment if you are booking Couple or Family therapy sessions.)

"Healing is possible, even when it feels far away."
I'm Liz, a LCSW who specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perinatal mental health.
Maybe you've spent years learning how to keep going. You're capable, dependable, and often the person others turn to. But underneath it all, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you don't fully understand. On the inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode.
You might find yourself overthinking, staying constantly busy, feeling on edge, struggling to slow down, or wondering why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships and daily life. Often, these responses developed for a reason. They helped you cope with difficult experiences and get through what you had to get through.
Trauma isn't just something that happened in the past. It can affect how safe you feel in the world, how you relate to others, and how you see yourself. It can leave you feeling disconnected from your emotions, your body, or the person you want to be. I provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space where we can explore these experiences at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is relational and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have been keeping you stuck, process past experiences, build coping tools that actually fit your life, and strengthen your connection to yourself.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to move through life with a greater sense of choice, confidence, and self-understanding. Healing looks different for everyone, and we'll work together to find what that looks like for you.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s emotional ups and downs. Since 2014, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from all walks of life—teens, young adults, middle-aged individuals, and older adults—through a wide range of mental health challenges including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, and substance use.
I’ve worked in diverse settings—from traditional in-person offices to virtual and teletherapy spaces—because I believe mental health support should be accessible and flexible. No two journeys are the same, and I strive to meet clients where they are, both literally and emotionally.
What I’ve learned through the years is that people aren’t looking for someone to “fix” them—they’re looking for someone to really listen, understand, and help guide them back to themselves. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not quite like yourself, my role is to help you explore those feelings safely and constructively.
My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and practical strategies. I work with you to build tools that help manage symptoms, reduce distress, and make everyday life feel more manageable again. Most importantly, I want to help you reconnect with the routines, relationships, and goals that matter most to you.
Therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s about finding the courage to take that first step, and continuing to show up for yourself. If you're ready to take charge of your mental health, I’m here to support and empower you every step of the way.

It isn't easy to seek help and allow oneself to be vulnerable and share ones' experience. I have listened to thousands of people and I am delighted hear everyone's story to see how I can help.

Hi there, I'm Kathleen.
Do you feel stressed by life and seek peace and healing? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I work with adults of all ages for INDIVIDUAL therapy. At this time I am not scheduling appointments with children, couples, or families.
Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate faith and recovery principles in our work together.
Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, have relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the thoughts and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

I work well with client's who feel stuck and unable to work through uncomfortable and sometimes painful emotions.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted. I most love helping people find language to describe their losses, often when there has been difficulty finding the words, inspiring people to find hope again, and facilitate the development of a plan to move forward in a way that both honors their experiences and embraces the future.
I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing. I strongly believe that rock bottom is the foundation upon which we can rebuild our lives. We do regular check-ins to review progress along the way. Our goal is not to change the past, but instead to find some relief from symptoms that impact daily functioning. I will solicit feedback regularly during sessions for takeaways to gauge progress and curate treatment interventions based on what is most engaging and productive for the individual client.

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.

Life is hard. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, messy, or just downright exhausting. And while we can’t always change what life throws at us, healing is possible and does not need to be done alone.
My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. No need to have it all together, find the perfect words, or pretend things are okay when they aren’t. Therapy with me is meant to feel relaxed, comfortable, and real. Humor, sarcasm, and the occasional swear word are absolutely welcome. We can laugh, sit with the hard stuff, and talk honestly about what’s going on without fear of judgment.
I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, life transitions, parenting challenges, and disordered eating. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical skills, and figure out what works for you. I’ll meet you with compassion and understanding, while also gently challenging you when it feels helpful. I believe support and accountability can coexist, and sometimes growth comes from having someone in your corner who will both encourage you and keep it real with you.
I’m human, too, and I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. You don’t need a therapist who has all the answers or pretends to have it all figured out. You deserve someone who will listen, be genuine with you, and help you navigate the tough stuff without making you feel like something is wrong with you.
Think of therapy as a chance to check in with someone who cares, tells you the truth with kindness, and helps you figure out your next steps. You get to be yourself here, wherever you’re starting from. We’ll take it one step at a time.

Life today is stressful and complicated. So many people are walking around pretending things are fine, not sharing what's really on their mind because they feel like no one will understand. That's a really tough place to be.
I approach therapy as a caring, thoughtful, solution-focused friend. At the first session people often say, "Oh my gosh, I don't know where to start. I am all over the place!" and my response is, "No worries! Just dump it all out here and I'll pick up the pieces. We'll make sense of it together". I can be very straightforward; I don’t blow smoke! We will figure out where you want to go and start chipping away at making it happen.

Understanding anxiety treatment options in Madison, WI
Anxiety treatment has evolved significantly over the years, and today there are numerous evidence-based approaches that can effectively help you manage and overcome anxiety symptoms. The good news is that you have options – from traditional talk therapy methods to newer, innovative techniques, there’s likely a treatment approach that will resonate with your learning style and personal preferences. Below are some of the most common and effective therapeutic approaches our Madison, WI therapists use to help clients find relief from anxiety.
Examples of evidence-based approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A commonly used method for anxiety treatment, CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies. Many of our Madison, WI therapists specialize in CBT techniques specifically adapted for anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly effective for anxiety with emotional regulation challenges, DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety symptoms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating meditation and awareness of the present moment, this approach helps you develop a healthier relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety while committing to actions aligned with your values, helping you live a fulfilling life despite anxious feelings.
Specialized anxiety treatment areas
Our Madison, WI therapists have expertise in treating various anxiety-related issues, including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder: Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations

- Panic disorder: Recurring panic attacks and fear of future episodes
- Specific phobias: Intense fear of particular objects, situations, or activities
How to find the right anxiety therapist in Madison, WI
What to look for in an anxiety therapist
Credentials and experience: Look for licensed therapists (e.g. LMFT, LICSW/LCSW, LPCC, or psychologists) with specific training in anxiety. When searching the Grow Therapy online therapy platform, you will see a clear display of each therapist’s credentials, years of experience, and specialty areas.
Therapeutic approach alignment: Consider which therapeutic approaches resonate with you. Some people prefer structured, skills-based approaches like CBT, while others may benefit from more exploratory or mindfulness-based methods.
To find a therapist by treatment method, you can use the “Treatment Methods” filter above. You may also double check a therapist’s treatment methods by viewing the “My treatment method” section on their profile page. To learn more about the types of therapy available, check out our guide on the different types of therapy.
Availability and scheduling: Choose a therapist whose schedule aligns with yours. Many of our Madison, WI providers offer both virtual and in-person sessions, providing flexibility for your busy lifestyle.
Insurance acceptance: Verify that your preferred therapist accepts your insurance plan. We make this easy by showing accepted insurances for each therapist.
Overcoming common barriers to anxiety treatment
Cost concerns: Many people worry about the cost of therapy, but with insurance coverage and a large network of in-person and online therapists on Grow Therapy who accept various plans, treatment can be more affordable than you think. We’re here to help you understand your benefits and find cost-effective options.
Time constraints: Anxiety often makes daily tasks feel overwhelming, and finding time for therapy can seem impossible. Our flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments, plus virtual sessions, make it easier to prioritize your mental health.
Stigma and privacy: It’s natural to feel hesitant about seeking help, but remember that anxiety is a treatable mental health condition. At Grow Therapy, we have built our online therapy platform to prioritize your privacy and connect you with understanding professionals who create safe, judgment-free spaces.
Finding the right fit: Not every therapist is the right match for every person, and that’s okay. Our detailed provider profiles and filtering options help you find someone who aligns with your preferences and needs. If you find the provider you choose is not the right fit, Grow Therapy makes it easy to switch and find a new provider who better fits your needs and what you’re seeking in your care.
Getting started with anxiety therapy in Madison, WI
What to expect in your first session
Your first therapy session is designed to help you and your therapist get to know each other and begin understanding your anxiety experiences. Your therapist will likely ask about:
- Your current anxiety symptoms and triggers
- How anxiety impacts your daily life
- Your personal and family mental health history
- Your goals for treatment
- Any previous therapy experiences
This initial session is also your opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process, your therapist’s approach, and what you can expect moving forward. To learn more about the therapy process, check out our guide to going to therapy.
Preparing for your anxiety treatment journey
Questions to Ask Your Therapist:
- What is your experience helping people who have signs of anxiety?
- What therapeutic approaches do you use for anxiety?
- How long does treatment typically take?
- What can I do between sessions to support my progress?
- How will we measure progress?
Setting realistic expectations: Anxiety treatment is a process, not a quick fix. While many people experience some relief early in treatment, developing lasting coping skills and seeing significant symptom reduction typically takes time and consistent effort.
Developing coping strategies: Your therapist will work with you to develop personalized coping strategies that you can use both in and outside of your sessions. These might include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or mindfulness practices.
Insurance and affordability for anxiety treatment in Madison, WI
Making therapy accessible
Insurance coverage options: Many major insurance plans cover mental health treatment, including therapy for anxiety.

Understanding your benefits: We help you understand your mental health benefits, including copays, deductibles, and coverage limits. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about your care. To learn more about how therapy and insurance work together, check out our guide to understanding insurance for therapy.
