I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adults navigate mental health concerns, trauma, substance use, and major life challenges. I know starting therapy can feel difficult, so I work to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being open and honest.

Hi, I’m Tia Sanders, a Milwaukee native, with 10+ years of experience focusing on maternal health, depression, anxiety, life transitions and substance abuse. I work with adults and young adults from diverse and undeserved communities - if you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for support, I invite you to take that first step. Together, we can explore where you are, where you want to go, and the strengths and resources you already have to help you move forward.
Great to meet you!

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.
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.

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.
