It's a unique and challenging time to be a human! As an AuDHD and lesbian-identified therapist, I know that representation matters, even in therapy. I primarily work with autistic women, ADHDers, and members of the LGBTQ+ community to support them navigating issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, relationship concerns, burnout, executive dysfunction, and processing a late diagnosis.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Madison
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.
