Hello! My name is Tia Carlson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed School Psychologist. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and adults. I became aware of my calling while in middle school. Since that time, I have devoted myself to the study of psychology, human development and helping others. I believe that everyone needs help and support at some point in their lifetime. I hope that I am able to be the support that you need in efforts to help you live your best life.

Life can look totally fine on the outside, even when it feels heavy or overwhelming on the inside. If you’re the one holding everything together but feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults who are tired of just pushing through and ready for real support. In therapy, I show up as a real person first-someone who gets that life is messy, timelines aren’t perfect, and stress and self-doubt are part of being human. As both a licensed therapist and a U.S. Air Force Veteran, I understand pressure, responsibility, and what it’s like to always be the “strong one.” My style is warm, steady, and honest. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We’ll take things one step at a time-making sense of what’s been weighing on you and building simple, practical tools you can actually use in everyday life to feel calmer and more grounded. I especially love working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or stretched thin by work, relationships, caregiving, or big life changes. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking-it’s about finding relief, understanding patterns, and creating changes that feel doable and sustainable. This is a space where you can finally exhale, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I currently have daytime openings this week and welcome referrals for adults who are ready for support now. If therapy has been on your mind, this might be the right time to take that step.

I am a military veteran, mother and wife. I have been doing therapy since 2017. I have a passion helping people. When I got out of the military I found a need to give back and therapy was one of the ways that I found I could give back to not just service members but to my community around me.

I believe each of us have both a unique set of gifts and a world view shaped by past experiences and present circumstances. Let's get together and chat about how to quiet your mind and make your life more fulfilling. As an evidence-based relaxation and meditaiton trainer, I am uniquely qualified to help you learn to cope with grief, anxiety, past trauma, women's issues, and vicarious trauma experienced by veterans and first responders. My approach is eclectic, using interventions from a broad base of solidly-grounded, accepted theoretical orientations, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence-based, brief modality for resolving PTSD symptoms. I see clcients for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women's issues. Through sessions together, I will collaborate with you to assist you in recognizing your individual strengths and strive to empower you with the self-awareness and self-confidence to pursue your dreams. i also practice Internal Family Systems, a means of healing PTSD without having to revisit the event. this is evidence based and rooted in both Attachment Theory and Family Systems Therapy.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Wisconsin rather than a city like Milwaukee?

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.

Will my therapist take insurance?

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.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Military/Veterans?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Wisconsin that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

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.

What to expect during your first session?

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.
