Therapists in Wisconsin

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.

My therapeutic philosophy is that it's not what is wrong with you but what happened to you. I believe that symptoms like anxiety and depression are not signs of weakness but messages to our mind and body telling us that something is not right and needs to be addressed. Maladaptive ways of coping may have once served us by dulling stress or pain but are not working any more, and so we have to learn new, healthier, more adaptive coping skills. I believe both the body and mind work together and are ultimately designed to survive, heal and thrive. Sometimes we just need understanding, validation and support to navigate the process. I love to help clients and empower them to help themselves. I understand how important it is to find a counselor you can connect with; one that is caring, respectful and skillful. I have had my own therapy during my life and approach clients the way I wanted to be treated.I can relate to clients that have attempted therapy more than once and are frustrated and tired. I understand what that is like and commend you for trying again. Change can be scary but often less scary than staying stuck. Seeking out counseling takes a lot of courage and strength. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over five years of experience working with clients with various concerns including Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Assertiveness/Boundaries, Attachment Issues and Emotional,Sexual and Physical Abuse. Being a more mature counselor brings with it life experience, insight and knowledge; at the same time I am flexible, open and always seeking emerging therapeutic approaches. I believe in treating clients as individuals that have unique strengths and resiliencies and do not fit neatly into diagnostic categories. My counseling style is warm, approachable and authentic. I relate to clients with compassion, non-judgment and empathy. My approach is eclectic and tailored to meet clients where they are at. I practice through a trauma-informed lens and use modalities such as Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Existential, Spiritual, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Somatic therapy. I will work with you to find the best treatment approach that meets your specific needs and goals. I consider it an honor to collaborate with clients in pursuit of their well-being. If you are ready to take a step I am here to support you.

🌿 Jaclene “Jackie” LPC Therapist for the tender-hearted, the exhausted, the soul-weary, and the deeply feeling. Hi, I’m Jackie—and I’m not just a therapist. I’m a gentle guide for the moments when life breaks you open. With over nine years of experience walking with teens, adults, and couples through trauma, anxiety, grief, and relational wounds, I offer a space that feels like safety wrapped in compassion. A place where you can unravel—without judgment—and begin again, piece by piece, in your own time and way. Whether your pain is loud or quiet, recent or long buried, I’ll meet you there with reverence. Because I don’t just believe in healing—I believe in you. 🌺 What It’s Like to Work With Me Therapy with me is like being offered a cup of tea and a soft chair for your soul. My style is warm, intuitive, and deeply relational. I listen not just to your words—but to the story behind them. I’ll sit with you in the dark, but I’ll always be holding a lantern. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin. Whether you're laughing through tears, whispering things you've never said out loud, or sitting quietly as your heart speaks—I’ll be right there beside you. 🕊️ The First Session The first time we meet, you can leave your “best self” at the door. This is the space where masks come off, pressure dissolves, and the truth is welcomed. We’ll talk about what brought you here—but gently, at your pace. My goal isn’t to fix or diagnose—it’s to see you. To help you feel, maybe for the first time in a long while, that you are safe. That you are no longer walking alone. Most clients say, “I didn’t realize how much I needed this.” That feeling? That’s the beginning of something beautiful. 🎯 How We’ll Set Goals Together Your healing isn’t a checklist. It’s a living, breathing journey. Together, we’ll listen closely to what your heart needs, what your body is holding, and what your future is quietly asking for. I’ll help you set goals that are compassionate, realistic, and rooted in your deeper why—not just what you want to stop feeling, but what you want to start becoming. We’ll track your growth in the subtle ways that matter: the way your breath softens, the way your relationships shift, the way you come home to yourself. 🧠 How I Practice Therapy I bring both science and soul to this work. I’m trained in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, and use Gottman Therapy to support couples in building lasting intimacy. But I’m also an eclectic therapist, meaning I blend in art therapy, music, somatic techniques, inner child work, and the inspired insights of thought leaders like Esther Perel. Your healing isn’t cookie-cutter, so neither is my therapy. Each session is crafted with care, creativity, and respect for your unique story. 🌻 Who I Help I hold space for those in pain—whether it’s loud and messy or silent and aching. I work with teens sorting through identity, emotions, and the pressure of growing up; adults stuck in anxiety, burnout, or trauma; and couples who love each other but feel miles apart. I help people untangle patterns they’ve carried for years—and start rewriting the story in a way that finally feels like freedom. If you feel lost, broken, disconnected, or just plain tired… I see you. You’re exactly where you need to be to begin again. 📖 Why I Became a Therapist My journey into this work started with a story. A book my grandmother gave me when I was a child—about a quiet psychotherapist who helped others find their way through pain. Something in that story spoke directly to my spirit. I didn’t know then what it meant—but I do now. I became a therapist because I’ve always seen the pain behind people’s smiles. Because I’ve always wanted to lift the weight of sorrow where I could. Because somewhere deep down, I’ve always believed: we are not meant to suffer alone. Being a therapist isn’t what I do—it’s who I am. It’s my offering. My promise. My part in the healing of this world. ✨ If Your Heart is Whispering, “Maybe it’s time…” I invite you to follow that whisper. You don’t need to be perfect, ready, or sure. You just need to be willing. Let’s begin this journey—together.
