Therapists near me in Madison, WI

HI! My name is Jill and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my MSW from Temple University and have been practicing since 2016. I work with adults (18-65) address a variety of mental health concerns. I am deeply committed to supporting clients who may feel lost or stuck by helping them to build skills to create a meaningful and empowering life. I understand the challenges of living with a relentless inner critic or dwelling on past events or future worries. Together, we'll identify patterns contributing to unproductive behaviors or recurring painful emotions.

Hello! Thanks for pausing on my profile. I'm Mary, a therapist working in Private Practice. I contract with GROW and others, to meet with people virtually, throughout Wisconsin. I've been a Licensed Counselor for several years. My husband and I have a 4 year old grandson who we get to take care of two days a week. The rest of the time, I devote to fishing with my spouse & dog, between talking with people like you, maybe looking for an ear and heart to listen and work through situational or emotional difficulties. It's what I love to do. 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. Positive relationships are vital for our healthy survival.

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! My name is Diane Bales MS, LMHC, LPC. I am passionate about what I do. I love walking with clients through their journey of healing. I am known for really caring about my patients and I think that shows. I use an eclectic approach to treatment. I feel that everyone is different and not one approach works for everyone. I want my clients to feel that they have accomplished or overcome something during their time in therapy. Note I do charge for No show and Late Cancellations $70.00

Looking for help can be overwhelming. Then the thought of actually asking for help can be uncomfortable, awkward, or even bring in some anxiety. If you find that is how you are feeling, it is absolutely okay! Actually, one could even say that is totally normal. Some of the hardest feelings and conversations that we need to work through are the most important ones. I welcome the opportunity to help you through whatever life bump is or has crossed your path. Throughout my experience, I have provided services to individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, or struggles like being a new mom or victims/ offenders of violence. If you feel that you have experienced trauma (past or present), managing day to day needs, coping skills, conflicts, relationships, and life transitions. My flexibility in using different therapy of techniques (such as EMDR and traditional talk therapy) has been helpful. In addition, I have connections with a number of other providers; if I am not a fit for you or if someone you know is interested in services, I am happy to help connect you. In addition to therapy services, I am able to provide expert witness services/testimony for domestic violence cases in Wisconsin.

Hello - My name is Fidela E. Hinojosa, and I am a Bilingual (English/Spanish), Trauma-Focused, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I was born and raised in the Lower Rio Grande Valley next to the US/Mexico border and 22 minutes away from South Padre Island. I earned my first master’s degree in Education from the University of Texas which facilitated working in the public education system with a specialization in Autism, ADHD, Addictions, Grief, trauma, behavioral and anger management including children in juvenile justice for 35 years. Subsequently earning a second master’s degree in Social Work with a concentration in practice with Hispanic children and families from Our Lady of the Lake University which facilitated working with unaccompanied minors from Central America (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc.) with specialized experience in complex trauma, complex PTSD, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, pregnancy, sex, and labor trafficking along with maladaptive behaviors (substance use, suicide ideations, self-harm, body dysphoria, and eating disorders) for the past 9 years.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with several years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I specialize in helping people navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.

I also integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed care into my work to support healing and long-term growth. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

Hi, I’m Dr. D. I help high-achieving professionals, executives, healthcare workers, first responders, ethnic minorities and indigenous people who are often successful in their careers but feel stuck or dissatisfied in other areas of life.

I know what it feels like to face these challenges—and I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to help you get unstuck and reclaim your life. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an MS in Applied Psychology, and an MA in Professional Counseling. My integrative, trauma-informed approach combines Psychodynamic therapy (PD), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This approach helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, leverage existing strengths, and implement actionable strategies for real-world, lasting change. I take a direct, no-nonsense approach, ideal for clients who are ready to take action immediately. Therapy starts in the very first session—you’ll leave with clarity, insight, and actionable steps toward personal growth, healing, and wholeness.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. When working with children and adolescents, I often use a play-based and developmentally appropriate approach.

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.

I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life. I look forward to working with you!

As a mother and a Christian, I understand the importance of compassion, structure, faith, and resilience in everyday life.

Welcome- I am so happy you are here! I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating sports and work performance pressure, anxiety, trauma symptoms, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to provide a steady, nonjudgmental, and solution‑focused space where you can talk openly, understand what’s happening internally, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change. I also specialize in supporting athletes and high‑performing individuals who experience mental blocks, performance anxiety, confidence challenges, or the emotional impact of injury, pressure, or burnout. As a former gymnast and current coach, I understand how stress shows up in the body and how quickly the nervous system can shift under intense expectations. I integrate trauma‑informed care with nervous system regulation to help clients rebuild safety, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self.

Life can become complicated when the strategies that once worked stop working. Whether you're navigating a recent ADHD or AuDHD diagnosis, struggling with burnout, anxiety, depression, or major life changes, it can feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. As someone who was diagnosed later in life, I understand both the relief and the disruption that can come from finally having an explanation for lifelong challenges. That experience has shaped my approach to therapy and deepened my appreciation for the resilience people develop while trying to navigate a world that wasn't designed with their needs in mind. My work is grounded in the belief that every person has a unique nervous system, unique strengths, and unique challenges. Rather than treating a label, I focus on understanding you as a whole person. I draw from established therapy approaches, neuroscience, and our growing understanding of the connection between the brain and body. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to feel cold or clinical. Humor, relatable analogies, and practical tools are often part of our conversations. I work primarily with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from constantly trying to keep up. Many are navigating neurodivergence, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the loss of skills that can accompany chronic stress and burnout. I also provide an affirming space for clients in kink, polyamorous, and other consensual nontraditional relationships. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reduce overwhelm, build sustainable strategies, and create a life that feels more authentic and manageable. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can work through it together, one step at a time.

I work with kids and adults who may be dealing with anxiety, past experiences, or big life changes and want a place to sort through it all. Many of the people I meet with are trying to better understand themselves, improve relationships, or find a clearer path forward when life feels uncertain. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment. Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to, someone who listens closely and genuinely cares about helping them move toward the life they want.

My goal is to help each person find healing, confidence, and a stronger sense of self within their unique story. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach that honors each person's journey.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. Bring all of who you are, and I’ll meet you there.

Thanks for visiting my profile. With over 30 years in the mental health field, I am convinced now more than ever, that me being open and creative in my approach to working with clients, has been very beneficial to my clients. I don't have a one size fits all approach, nor do I claim to have all the answers, but together we can explore the possibilities of strategies that can be helpful. Additionally, I promise to add a dose of humor, because laughter is truly good medicine.

I have been a licensed therapist for 15 years, and a student of life for 45 years. My approach is holistic and integrative. I blend my years of experience and training, evidence-based techniques and alternative practices, with your years of experience as the expert of you, and together we co-create your healing process. My passion is walking alongside my fellow humans and helping them rediscover their magic; helping them find their way from surviving to thriving. We do this by resolving traumas, changing unhealthy patterns, releasing false belief systems, learning to practice self-compassion and new self-care skills, and becoming the person you want to be instead of who you have been told you should be.

I take a collaborative, practical approach to therapy using tools from CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work, always tailored to what you need. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply committed to inclusivity. My goal is for you to feel safe, heard, and empowered, whether we’re tackling a lifelong struggle or just trying to get through a tough season. If you’re feeling nervous about starting therapy, know that you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place!

We enter your story with compassion. I am passionate about providing gentle and considerate care. My office is located on a bus line within an ADA accessible building and off-street parking. Virtual sessions are offered. My space is designed for comfort and safety in downtown Duluth, Minnesota.

My name is Walfsty Pierre, and I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin, with over 15 years of experience working with children and families in the social services field across Wisconsin and Minnesota. I specialize in trauma-informed care and have a deep understanding of how trauma impacts individuals and families, particularly within marginalized communities, where systemic barriers can make the healing process more complex.
