ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Madison, WI

I bring over a decade of professional experience to therapy along with my own life experiences, empathy, understanding, and hopefully a little humor along the way.

While my license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to live my own life as authentically and intentionally as I can as a parent, family member, and friend; and I bring those same values into the therapy room.

I believe every person has a story worth telling and deserves to feel heard without judgment. It is truly an honor to witness the strength and resilience my clients possess, and I never take for granted the trust they place in me by allowing me to be part of their journey.

I am a licensed Profession Counselor with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have been working in a variety of settings since 2012, providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career I have worked with a wide range of mental health diagnoses as well as substance use concerns. My clinical focus and the area I am most passionate about is trauma. I am nationally certified in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), with an additional training and clinical experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Aggression Replacement Training. My therapeutic style is compassionate, genuine, and highly individualized. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to determine what they need from therapy. Sometimes that means learning new skills, sometimes it means having a safe place to talk and be heard, and sometimes it means a little bit of everything. My goal is to help clients feel safe, supported, understood, and genuinely empowered, not managed. I truly believe that having a place where you can feel safe and relaxed is often the first step toward healing. When we have the opportunity to let our guard down and feel accepted for who we are, we can begin to process what we've been carrying and work toward letting go.

Outside of work, life is busy and lively with my husband, out two children and our collection of pets. We have two cats, two dogs, and a rabbit. Animals have always been one of my main coping skills and self care. I am happiest when surrounded by them. I am also usually happiest in the middle of a DIY project, even if I'm not entirely sure how it is going to turn out when I start.

Hi, I’m Whyketha, a licensed professional counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, supportive, and real. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, life stress, grief, relationship challenges, and major transitions. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative.

I am a therapist who understands that everyone’s mind works differently. When you know your mind works differently from other people, you need a therapist whose mind works differently too. I have 15 years experience working with:

Neurodiverse folks (adhd, autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, AuDHD), animal people, grief and loss related to pets and people, menopause, elders, introverts, empaths, those experiencing social anxiety, isolation and/or loneliness, chronic health issues, life changes (including menopause) and life purpose. I also have experience working with the Native American community.

Being a "pre-elder", I've led many chapters of my life and have learned from every single one (even the cringey ones). It has taught me to focus on what is truly valuable and fulfilling and how to be comfortable just being me. I hope these things are cultivated in the therapeutic relationship with clients. My own neurospiciness allows me to connect with others that experience the world in a different way than neurotypical folks do, and my love for animals and kindness makes therapy with HSPs, empaths, introverts and animal people more connected as well.

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply need someone to talk to, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can happen.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative process—you are the expert on your life, and it's a privilege to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful as you move toward meaningful change.

If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move

forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent

over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who

are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and

depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with

individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and

community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.
