I am a licensed therapist with fifteen years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, from those going through significant life changes to those healing from traumatic experiences. I graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2009 with Bachelor's degrees in Sociology and Psychology and an honors in Liberal Arts. I continued there and graduated in 2011 with a Master's degree in Educational Psychology, with a specialty in Community Counseling. In 2018, I graduated from UW-Madison with an additional capstone degree in Infant, Early Childhood, and Family Mental Health. For the first ten years of my career I worked primarily with families through in-home therapy in Milwaukee, the City of Neighborhoods! I then joined the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin as a Child and Family Therapist and Agent for the Bureau of Child Welfare as an advocate and therapist for families in the Healthy Infant Court program at the Vel R. Phillips Juvenile Justice Center. I have worked as an independently contracted therapist through the Betterhelp site since 2020 and enjoy navigating the very new field of telehealth and online therapy. I obtained licenses from Texas and Florida in 2024. The first few times we meet, the focus will be on your life and how you have been impacted by what has happened to you.

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've been practicing as an LPC in a private community-based clinic for the last 17 years. My specialty has been with traumatized youth in a group day treatment setting. I've also utilized play therapy with children while focusing on trauma resolution and healthy attachment with caregivers. Long ago and far away, I was trained in Levels I and II of EMDR. I'm admittedly rusty and not sure how this could be utilized in messaging, but I'm willing to explore how it may be integrated.

As a licensed therapist in Wisconsin with over 20 years of experience, I support individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly carrying more than others may realize. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply attentive. In our chat space, you won’t feel rushed or judged—you’ll have room to slow down, reflect, and be fully seen. I specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also support clients navigating social anxiety, self-esteem struggles, identity exploration, and the pressure of “holding it all together.” What makes my work unique is how I show up with you. I focus on: helping you make sense of what you’re feeling gently slowing down overwhelming thoughts building emotional clarity and self-trust creating small, meaningful shifts that lead to real change My style is not about fixing you—it’s about understanding you. Together, we’ll create a space where you can: express yourself honestly feel supported without pressure develop insight at your own pace begin to move from survival mode toward a more grounded, balanced way of living I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who feel alone in what they’re carrying, or who are used to being “the strong one” for everyone else. You don’t have to do that here. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, clarity, and steady support through chat—you’re in the right place.

Hello, I'm Liz! Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now 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. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. 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!
