Therapist

I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

Shuntell Browne

Shuntell Browne

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


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.

Jennifer Manderscheid

Jennifer Manderscheid

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


My counseling style is personalized and adaptive, so we focus on what works best for you instead of a one size fits all approach. I am not very formal and we are likely going to laugh at times as we get to know each other. Together, we will talk about what brings you to therapy now, and start to outline the goals you would like to move toward in this season of your life.

We will collaborate to create realistic, meaningful goals for therapy and concrete ways to meet them that fit your life, values, and pace. I invite curiosity, questions, and feedback, and I see our work as a shared process rather than me telling you what to do. Sessions are a place where you can be fully yourself while we explore patterns and try new coping tools.

Over the years, I have worked with many different types of issues and life transitions, and I bring that broad experience into our work together. It is a true honor to walk with clients through life’s messier and more painful chapters and to witness them come out on the other side with more clarity, confidence, and relief. If you are ready to begin, I would be glad to support you.

Melissa ODonnell

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I earned my master’s degree in social work from George Williams College and hold licensure in both Illinois and Wisconsin. My clinical experience spans work with diverse populations, including teens and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. I am trained in several evidence‐based therapeutic modalities—CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR—which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and support meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide individual therapy as well as family and couples work. I value helping people move through life’s stressors, strengthen their coping skills, and recognize the progress they make toward their goals.

If you have questions about the services and supports available to you, your family, or your loved ones, I’m here to help. I’d also be glad to share more about what I enjoy most in the therapeutic process and how we can work together to build a healthier, more grounded life.
