With years of experience in providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges.
I come with over 34 years of Clinical eperience. I am open to help anyone willing to do the work to change and make a better life for themselves.
I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, addiction, and tough emotional seasons. As an APSW and SAC-IT in Wisconsin, I bring training in Youth-Oriented Substance Abuse and Trauma Counseling, as well as Brainspotting. In our work together, we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect—especially around substance use, trauma, and patterns that feel hard to change—so you can feel safer, more understood, and more in control of your life.
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.
I’m Anushka Fernando, LPC, licensed in Wisconsin, Texas, and Colorado.

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 passionate about helping clients create an understanding and confidence in their mental health journey. I have a Masters in Art Therapy and 5 years of mental health work within hospital systems and private practice settings. I specialize in LGBTQIA+, OCD, and Disordered Eating from ages 12 and up.
Welcome — I’m Shuntell Browne, a licensed therapist and proud United States Navy veteran. My background in military service deeply informs the way I show up in the therapy space: with structure, compassion, accountability, and a strong commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
I work with both children and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, grief, and family transitions such as divorce or changes in caregiving. I have extensive experience supporting children and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, peer relationships, school stress, and big emotions, as well as adults who are working through life stressors, past trauma, and relationship challenges.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered, while also learning practical coping skills they can apply outside of sessions. I believe therapy should be both healing and actionable, and I partner closely with clients to help them make meaningful, lasting changes.
Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to support growth, build emotional resilience, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
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.
Hello! I have a masters in art therapy but hold licenses to be both a professional counselor and a registered art therapist. This allows me to have a unique take on therapy. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore challenges at your own pace, and build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.
I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach, tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs, interests, and goals.
While I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care, I also enjoy integrating creativity and art when it feels helpful. No artistic experience is ever required—art is simply another way to express thoughts and emotions that can be difficult to put into words.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I'm committed to helping you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools that extend beyond our sessions.
I serve a broad population of clients coping with crisis, trauma, faith-based issues, relationship and marital issues, substance use and addictions, anger management and emotional dysregulation, career decisions, self-esteem and self-efficacy skill development, and other challenges clients are facing.
My philosophy is meeting clients where they are, without bias or judgment. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to walk beside, providing the tools and techniques to support finding solutions and healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach to tailor services to meet the clients' needs. I work with clients from a holistic approach.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision, a Master's in Professional Counseling, a Masters in Health Care Administration, and a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Nurse.
I am an older adult with a counseling degree based on several decades of life experiences. I understand you because I have probably 'been there' in my own life before. I accurately empathize with you and give you treatment pathways that worked for me. I accept all types of life's problems and because I have gone through divorce and the loss of a child, I specialize in grief counseling. I have a specialty in foster amd adoption therapy. I realize that counseling is hard work on the part of the client, and as your therapist I commit to helping you seek deliverance of the past and cheer you on to the future.
About Me
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of serving the Manitowoc and Sheboygan communities through Lakeshore Community Health, now Noble Community Clinics, providing comprehensive care in both primary care and behavioral health settings.
My clinical passion lies in helping individuals struggling with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the effects of trauma. I have extensive experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, and I am committed to supporting patients through recovery with a compassionate, structured, and evidence-based approach.
I believe healthcare should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses. Physical health, mental wellness, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors all play an important role in overall health. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their care.
As the founder of Mind & Body Renew, I combine traditional medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help identify and address the root causes of illness. I am passionate about partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans that promote healing, long-term wellness, and a better quality of life.
Originally from Texas, I moved to Wisconsin in 1999 after my marriage and have proudly called this community home ever since. My husband and I have raised four wonderful children and are blessed with nine grandchildren who bring tremendous joy to our lives. When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and spoiling our two beloved fur babies.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better health, healing, and renewal.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can feel safe exploring difficult experiences while building great self- awareness and lasting change. My approach is grounded in relational and experiential therapy, while also integrating evidence- based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. I value authenticity, curiosity, and helping clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful and empowering ways.
I offer a unique blend of traditional mental health therapy and holistic approaches, including energy healing and other complementary practices when they align with a client's goals and interests. I believe that beneath life's challenges, past experiences, self-criticism, and the many roles we carry is a deeper, authentic part of ourselves that often gets overlooked or disconnected. My work is centered on helping clients better understand themselves, heal emotional wounds, reconnect with their inner strengths and wisdom, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore both practical solutions and deeper personal growth.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Madison, WI
Searching for couples therapists in Madison starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
In a mid-size city like Madison, your search may include therapists near downtown, the west side, the east side, or nearby communities, along with virtual appointments across Wisconsin. Finding one therapist who works for both partners also means comparing schedules, session structure, and availability. Some therapists offer a brief consultation so you can ask how they work with couples before booking. Reading each profile can help you understand their style, experience with couples counseling in Madison, and whether their approach fits what you are looking for.
Couples therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs, and Headway helps you check estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare therapists who offer marriage counseling in Madison, WI, review detailed bios, and book directly when you find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
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.
