Hi! Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin. I am warm, honest, and down to earth human. I work with clients who are navigating life and all its experiences, big and small, all are welcome. Some things I come across often are: anxiety, neurodivergence (all kinds), stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the emotional weight of trying to hold everything together during complicated times.

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’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than ten years experience providing services to individuals age 4 to 60+, with my primary practice focus working with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I am a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to my clinical licensure. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, ADHD, etc. I have also worked with individuals with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities in addition to their mental health diagnoses.
You have learned a lot about what works/doesn't work for you over the years, so let's work together and build on that. I have found that small changes in thoughts, attitudes, and actions can snowball into big differences for clients. I have experience in private practice, schools and inpatient mental health that I will gladly bring to the table to help you! My master's degree is in counseling education, and I have had my License as a Professional Counselor for 13 years. I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused therapy and many others and continue to expand my knowledge with trainings continuously. I have had the most experience in schools working with children dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Persistent Demand Avoidance. My work in private practice included anxiety, depression, divorce recovery work with AODA issues. I also have exposure to a wide variety of mental disorders from my time working in inpatient mental health. I seek to specialize mostly in anxiety and depression on this platform, but will keep an open mind to other issues that I might be able to help.
I'm excited to support you in your mental wellness journey! I have lived experience with birth trauma and mental health issues. I love kids and mommies! I see moms who are pregnant and postpartum up to 2 years. I also see children ages birth to 17. For infants and toddlers, parents or caregivers are present because the treatment focus is the relationship between them, not just the child.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Madison
Finding family therapists in Madison starts with understanding what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one individual. As you compare options, look for therapists whose bios mention family systems, parent-child relationships, adolescent care, or experience with concerns that match your family’s needs.
Madison offers a balanced mix of local and virtual therapy options, so practical fit matters as much as specialty fit. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling across school, work, and caregiving responsibilities easier. Session attendance may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review therapist profiles for availability, session structure, approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse family therapists in Madison, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
