Thomas Kaufman
Hello! My name is Thomas Kaufman, and I am an LPC working out of Madison, WI. For the past 20 years, I have worked with families, couples, adults, and adolescents. Using cognitive-behavioral theory with narrative techniques, I help empower clients to explore areas within their lives that present challenges and inhibit change, and assist them with finding solutions that will work for them. However, I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital component within any program, which means that I believe that any work needs to be collaborative between myself and my clients. I am certified to deliver trauma-focused treatments as well as providing services to help manage stress and anxiety.

Jessica Halaska
Most people don’t come to therapy because they “have anxiety.” They come because something in their life feels stuck — and often, that place is their relationships, work, life, and self identity. I specialize in relationship-focused therapy for individuals navigating conflict, emotional distance, repeated communication breakdowns, or uncertainty about the future of their partnership. Sometimes a partner is unwilling to attend therapy. Sometimes you are unsure whether the relationship can improve. My work helps you gain clarity, emotional stability, and direction — even if your partner is not in the room. I take a structured and direct approach. I do not simply validate feelings or revisit the same arguments. We identify the interaction patterns driving the distress, clarify attachment dynamics, and strengthen your ability to respond differently within your relationships. As emotional regulation improves, conflict becomes more predictable and less destabilizing. Many individuals I work with initially present with anxiety, stress, or frustration, and then we discover that the root issues lie within relational patterns, self identity, career stress, and deep rooted patterns formed in early life, that have never been clearly understood. When those patterns become visible, decision-making becomes more grounded and less reactive. If you are motivated to understand what is happening in your life, your relationships, and the patterns beneath repeated conflict, anxiety, and repeated cycles, and want a focused, intentional process, we may be a strong fit.

My focus is primarily couples counseling and men seeking career and/or dating counseling. About my approach: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! These words inspire us to look forward to a bright future, something we can count on as we move through life. But what happens when the life we hoped for slips out of our grasp? When our careers stall, or when our relationships go sour, or when we can’t shake off the effects of painful experiences? Since earning my MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, I have learned that each of us is full of talent and potential. We all have something important to contribute to the world. All we need is a way to discover the unique qualities, drives and passions that make us who we are. My approach to treatment is based on Solution Focused Brief Counseling. My goal is to help people find the strong, hopeful and capable parts of their personality and strengthen them in every day life. We do this first by exploring your key relationships and how they have impacted your life over time. Once we uncover your (not so hidden) strengths, we work together to improve your well being. My experience includes working with singles and couples, as well as men seeking career transition counseling. I have worked with people from all faiths, gender identity and sexual orientation. How I can be of service: If you looking for help: (1) building a better future, particularly in your career (2) overcoming relationship challenges, or (3) coming to terms with painful memories so you can move on, I look forward to working with you to help you meet those goals.
