Jeanine Rounds

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Starting therapy takes courage, and I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, discouraged, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. Wherever you are in your process, my goal is to meet you there with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, eating concerns, stress, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and major life transitions. I believe that healing is not about becoming a different person. It is about reconnecting with yourself, understanding your patterns, and building the tools to move through life with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and gently challenged when needed. I bring both compassion and practical guidance to therapy, helping you better understand what is keeping you stuck while also creating realistic steps toward change.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Madison

Finding addiction therapists in Madison starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Madison has a strong mental health care community, with both local offices and virtual appointments available. Your search may include therapists near downtown, the university area, or surrounding neighborhoods, as well as therapists who offer virtual care across Wisconsin. Recovery can involve progress, setbacks, and changing needs, so it helps to look for a therapist whose profile reflects a non-judgmental style and experience with addiction care. You can also compare availability, session format, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Addiction therapy in Madison can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay for sessions. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare appointment times, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
