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.
I’m Anushka Fonseka, LPC, licensed in Wisconsin, Texas, and Colorado. I help individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns, offering both online therapy and in-person sessions. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with mindfulness and compassion. I have a special passion for supporting immigrants and first-generation clients in balancing cultural values with personal growth.
As a former Division I track and field athlete, I know what it's like to push yourself to the limit — and what happens when the pressure starts to feel like too much. The expectations, the constant performance, the feeling that you have to be "on" all the time.
I also know what it feels like to not quite fit in, to question who you are outside of the roles you've been playing. That's what led me to this work — a deep understanding that sometimes, the hardest race you run is the one inside your own mind.
My approach is rooted in real experience and genuine care. I create a space where you can drop the mask, breathe, and start figuring out what feels right for you.

These populations give me experience in a broad spectrum of needs and levels of care. I pride myself in being able to meet each person's unique needs through differing evidence based practices such as: EMDR, DBT, CBT, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, and more.
Are you the person everyone depends on, but lately you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're carrying too much? You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, workplace stress, relationship concerns, or a major life change and know something needs to change, even if you're not sure where to start. That's where I can help.
I work with children, adolescents and adults and provide both ongoing therapy and short-term, solution-focused support. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, understand what's getting in the way, and develop practical strategies you can actually use in everyday life.
I graduated with my MSW from Aurora University in 2017, and I’ve continued to deepen my clinical training ever since.

My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that people grow best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.
As a seasoned practitioner (since 2006) with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have dedicated my career to mastering a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to better serve my clients.

I am also certified in Trauma-Informed-Care and as a First Responder Counselor, allowing me to provide specialized support to individuals who have experienced trauma.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual ADHD therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, and chronic follow-through difficulties.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time.
This foundation allows me to help individuals, couples, and families address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.
My name is Kati Niekerk and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Madison, Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. My aim is to help clients identify their values and goals, and then create a plan to help them get closer to those values and goals. I use CBT and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves and their environments, and DBT to build the skills needed to live as the best versions of themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Madison
Finding ADHD therapists in Madison starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, organization, time management, and support with related concerns like anxiety, depression, or stress. Medication management is separate from therapy and is usually handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are searching for adult ADHD support, pediatric ADHD support, or ADHD testing in Madison, read each therapist’s profile to see whether their listed training, specialties, and age groups match what you need.
Madison has a range of therapists across the city, with local offices near campus areas, downtown, and surrounding neighborhoods, plus virtual appointments for a wider set of options. For ADHD care, it can help to look beyond specialty alone. Consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and experience with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Some people prefer in-person sessions for structure, while others choose virtual therapy in Madison, WI, for scheduling flexibility. Therapist bios can also show how a therapist communicates, what approaches they use, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists in Madison who match your needs and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
