Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Madison, WI

I’m Anushka Fernando, 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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years working in the social work field helping families with life challenges. My professional background is working in child welfare, medical social work, veteran mental health and private practice. 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 strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, respected and understood. While I provide compassion and support, I am also an active therapist who will challenge unhelpful patterns when necessary. I believe growth happens when we balance acceptance with accountability.

I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

Greetings :)

My name is Regina. I am a kind, thoughtful mental health practitioner who thoroughly enjoys assisting people overcome their respective challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes in spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical alignment. I specialize in cultural & ethnic issues, e.g., racial trauma, women's issues, domestic violence, severe anxiety, and mood disorders, e.g., Bipolar 1, all from a Christian perspective (I work with non-Christians too as I'm about helping people from all faith/non-spiritual backgrounds.) I am now accepting new clients for in-person and virtual transformation sessions!

I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to be heard without judgment. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative, and I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful change. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience serving diverse communities across multiple systems. My previous roles have deepened my understanding of trauma, family systems, and the ways individuals are shaped by their environments. With this foundation, I approach each client through a holistic lens and use evidence‐based practices that honor resilience and support meaningful, sustainable growth.
