Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.
I’m Anushka Fernando, LPC, licensed in Wisconsin, Texas, and Colorado. I help individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns, offering both online therapy and in-person sessions. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with mindfulness and compassion. I have a special passion for supporting immigrants and first-generation clients in balancing cultural values with personal growth.
I am passionate about helping clients create an understanding and confidence in their mental health journey. I have a Masters in Art Therapy and 5 years of mental health work within hospital systems and private practice settings. I specialize in LGBTQIA+, OCD, and Disordered Eating from ages 12 and up.
I am someone who enjoys uplifting others and helping others succeed with their mental health. I am an active listener, able to show empathy, and still challenge clients when needed. I have a direct approach when counseling.
I believe prioritizing mental health is an important part of creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and I know reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps to take. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I have worked primarily with adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward healing, self understanding, and meaningful growth.
My personal philosophy of counseling would be to provide a positive, safe, and comfortable environment to establish a rapport for a healthy client-counselor relationship. This will help to empower the individual to be open to a path of healing, growth, resolution, and self-discovery.
The client will be working towards self-exploration to find answers and solutions to any obstacles in their life. I hope to help them explore, identify, and meet their challenges.
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 Anxiety Therapist in Madison, WI
Finding therapists in Madison starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Madison, WI for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.
Madison has a wide range of therapy options, from near-campus offices to neighborhoods like Tenney-Lapham, Eastmorland, Maple Bluff, and other parts of Dane County. In-person care may work well if you prefer a local office, while virtual sessions can give you more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or commute time. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what kinds of concerns they often support.
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 understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare in-person or virtual availability. You can browse therapists in Madison, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
