Hi, I’m Dr. Traore, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner passionate about helping clients find calm, clarity, and confidence in their daily lives. My background spans medication management, psychotherapy, and holistic care for individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. I hold a doctoral degree in nursing practice and bring years of experience supporting clients across diverse backgrounds. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and genuinely understood.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of balance in your life or relationships? Maybe anxiety, depression, stress, or the demands of daily life have started to feel heavier than they once did. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, or emotional exhaustion, therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My passion is helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I take a holistic, compassionate approach to therapy while drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe progress is not one-size-fits-all, and I work to create a therapeutic experience that is thoughtful, flexible, and responsive to the individual sitting in front of me.
I enjoy working with adults, couples, families, children, and adolescents across a range of concerns. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and build the tools needed to navigate life more effectively.
Welcome. I am a dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience supporting both children and adults. I primarily work with individuals struggling with sadness, guilt, loss, loneliness, panic, overthinking, shame, ruminating thoughts, family issues, trauma, and worry. Having worked as a Grief Counselor in my previous role, I helped individuals navigate life while adjusting to their grief by sitting with people as they share their deepest thoughts and emotions. I offer an inclusive space where clients can feel safe, respected, and seen.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Madison, WI
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.
