I believe healing happens best in relationships built on authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. Whether we're talking in the office or walking a wooded trail, my approach is grounded, collaborative, and tailored to you.

You might be carrying something that feels too heavy to put into words, like a past that keeps surfacing, anxiety that will not quiet, or a relationship with substances you are finally ready to rethink. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to have it all figured out to start. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Wisconsin facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I am committed to seeing you as more than your hardest chapter.

Welcome — I’m Shuntell Browne, a licensed therapist and proud United States Navy veteran. My background in military service deeply informs the way I show up in the therapy space: with structure, compassion, accountability, and a strong commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

I work with both children and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, grief, and family transitions such as divorce or changes in caregiving. I have extensive experience supporting children and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, peer relationships, school stress, and big emotions, as well as adults who are working through life stressors, past trauma, and relationship challenges.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered, while also learning practical coping skills they can apply outside of sessions. I believe therapy should be both healing and actionable, and I partner closely with clients to help them make meaningful, lasting changes.

Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to support growth, build emotional resilience, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
