I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story. I work with people across all stages of life who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to help you rebuild safety, rediscover connection, and move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self. Alongside traditional therapy, I also offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can provide a meaningful, body-centered way to explore healing and self-awareness.

Kimberly Heine

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 29 mi away • Fort Atkinson, WI


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Madison

Finding OCD therapists in Madison starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty tag. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is an evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not every therapist has specific training in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, contamination fears, checking, reassurance seeking, or pure O therapy. A therapist’s listed approach can help you see whether their experience matches the concerns you want to address.

Madison has a strong mental health care community, but the right OCD therapist may depend on more than location alone. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near home, work, or campus, while others use virtual appointments to widen their options beyond a nearby office. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their OCD experience. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may offer different support than one who specifically describes ERP training, structured exposure work, or experience with pure O concerns.

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 and make ongoing care more manageable. Headway helps you find Madison therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists by specialty, appointment format, availability, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
