Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Oconomowoc, WI


Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eau Claire, WI


The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Madison, WI

Finding therapists in Madison starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Madison, WI for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.

Madison has a wide range of therapy options, from near-campus offices to neighborhoods like Tenney-Lapham, Eastmorland, Maple Bluff, and other parts of Dane County. In-person care may work well if you prefer a local office, while virtual sessions can give you more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or commute time. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what kinds of concerns they often support.

Therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare in-person or virtual availability. You can browse therapists in Madison, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
