Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sheboygan, WI


I’m a licensed therapist with experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, working with individuals navigating mood challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the everyday weight that can come with trying to hold everything together.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and honest space where you don’t have to filter or perform. I’ll meet you where you are, while also helping you gently look at patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. I value real conversations, consistency, and creating an environment where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up fully as yourself.

My goal is to help you build insight, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and genuinely yours.

Therapist

Virtual • Mayville, WI


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.

Alex Robison

Alex Robison

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi, I'm Alex! My path into this work began in early childhood development, where I learned just how much our earliest relationships and experiences shape the way we move through the world as adults. That foundation still informs everything I do; I'm endlessly curious about the "why" behind how we feel and behave, and I hold that curiosity with warmth and zero judgment.

Outside of my practice you'll usually find me behind a camera. Photography taught me to slow down and pay attention to small, beautiful details, and to appreciate that the same scene can look completely different depending on where you're standing (a lesson that I find turns out to be pretty useful in therapy as well). I love being out in nature whenever I can and at home I share my space with a cuddly cat who supervises most of my day.

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Madison

Searching for postpartum therapists in Madison starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, or a PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

Madison offers both in-person and virtual postpartum support, and the right format may depend on your schedule, infant care needs, physical recovery, and access to transportation. Virtual sessions can make it easier to connect with a therapist who fits your needs, especially when local appointment times are limited. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how their availability fits your week.

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 easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
