Welcome! My name is Emily and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I feel so committed to this kind of work; the ability to partner with others and help them see their strengths and abilities to empower them. I strive to create a healing space where growth, understanding and change can occur. I love the quote by Carl Jung, "We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become." This is what I think therapy is all about; guiding others to embrace that their past does not define them. This is not just a philosophy or modality of a treatment. It is a way of being and seeing in the world, a way of seeing the potential and nobility in anything or anyone.

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.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with a multitude of different issues. I also have experience working with multiple age populations. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I will not release information without your signed consent. However, in specific circumstances such as child or elder abuse incidents, under court order, or when imminent danger or risk is identified, Counseling Services will share information with the required parties. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with over 16 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked in residential treatment, day treatment and outpatient therapy. My years of experience include working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, caregivers for people living with chronic pain/illness, survivor's of those that have lost loved ones to suicide and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines using a client centered solution focused therapy along with cognitive- behavioral therapy that challenges negative thoughts and meeting the client where they are at in the moment. I like to focus on what the client needs and find strengths in their own lives that can help them to find ways to meet their goals. Through my life and work experience and I am here to support the client anyway I can. It takes courage to seek out change. I really believe that having a positive client-therapist relationship is an essential piece to the puzzle that will help make the change process easier. Thank you and I look forward to working with you! Jessie

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 20 of professional counseling experience.. I have experience in helping clients of all ages, with Autism, Depression, Bi-Polar, Anxiety, Stress, PTSD, Trauma and Abuse, Parenting Issues, Couples Issues, Career difficulties, and individuals with varying physical and mental health disabilities. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. While I am all the things I believe a "good" therapist should be (empathetic, good listener, validate, etc), I do think my style is very welcomes and appreciated by my clients because I am also DIRECT, I will challenge you, I believe that my clients came to me because they needed help to facilitate CHANGE, and in order to do that in my opinion, we have to be 100% honesty with each other, I will need to push some emotional button, to help get insight and self awareness, because without that we often can't facilitate change.... we can't change what we don't know or understand. I believe change is possible, I believe it can be empowering and freeing all at the time..... the question isn't can I change, or is change possible, the question is are you READY to change, and if your ready, I'm ready to help you on that journey!!!!!

As a licensed therapist in Wisconsin, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, stress management, and personal growth. I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive approach that honors each person's unique journey. My work focuses on addressing a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, workplace challenges, and personal identity exploration. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can develop deeper self-understanding, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. I'm particularly committed to supporting individuals experiencing isolation, communication difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and life purpose. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for healing and growth. I strive to provide a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop powerful strategies for personal empowerment.

SCHEDULING: Try to schedule in my open slots but I try to schedule people based on your best times and dates, so when we are matching we will find your best time. I am not available before 10 am or after 6 pm but I am available on some Saturdays. My name is Lynet Uttal, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. When working together, my hope is that you will become more comfortable with yourself. Maybe you want to talk about a problem you are having right now (like a relationship that is making you feel bad) or you want to talk about something from your past that keeps hurting you. We can also work on a decision you have to make or motivation to get moving on a project (like writing a book or losing weight/practicing a healthier lifestyle). Some people are looking for purpose or meaning in life--we can also work on that. As a social worker, I also pay attention to the conditions of your life: Do you have enough money? Do you like where you live? Are you in the right job? In the right relationship? Do you need to change your career? Move to a different part of the country? Do you want help identifying and applying for support services? Are you struggling with cultural differences with the people in your life? Are you caring for an aging parent? In addition to teaching you some techniques (like how to manage anxiety or depression), I will also work with you to understand the cause of the discomfort and ways to understand it. My style of doing therapy is to carefully listen to you and to ask questions so that both you and I can develop a deep understanding of what is bothering you and how you want to improve/change your life. If you want, I can also provide some coaching for how you might change the way you do things or interact with people so that you are more comfortable with yourself and your lifestyle. We will do a lot of talking and find answers that work for you. I have experience helping people with changing jobs, getting fired, deciding to leave relationships, how to start relationships in a healthy way, parent-adult children relationships, learning how to present yourself calmly even when inside you feel like a tornado. I also like to facilitate thinking about regrets to turn them into stories you can live with instead of continue to be tortured by the ones you have. I have experience working with people with many different types of concerns and levels of experience with therapy. I enjoy helping people figure out what is going on in their lives and finding more peace with themselves. My work with each person is different because I tailor how we work to who you are and what you are grappling with. I do interpreter-mediated therapy which means we use an interpreter because I speak English and the client doesn't. I have worked with Latine people, Muslims, people from India, Hmong, and lots of people who are parents but they are US born children of immigrants.. I am myself the daughter of a Japanese immigrant and I am really interested in the conflicts that happen beecause people live between two cultures. I look forward to working with you!
