You’ve built your career. You’ve earned the title. You’ve learned how to perform, make decisions, solve problems, and lead others. But what got you here... may not be what keeps you there and takes you to your next level. The next level of leadership isn’t always about learning another strategy or adding another skill. Sometimes, it’s about shifting what’s happening within you—the way you think, the way you respond under pressure, what you’ve carried, and the habits & patterns that influence how you lead.

I work with leaders to help them lead with calm, confident composure. Leading doesn’t have to be so hard. Call or email me today. I meet you where you're at and start by listening closely, nonjudgmentally to your story. This helps us build trust & rapport. My approach leans more toward coaching to support you holistically—emotionally, mentally, and professionally. I help you understand what holds you back & keeps you overwhelmed or stuck. I offer practical tools you can use in your daily life.

You get the benefit of my 25 years of experience working with high‐potential, high-achieving professionals & leaders navigating stress, burnout, conflict with team members or the pressure to “hold everything together".

We explore what’s happening, without judgment. At the same time, you will get clear guidance, insight, and strategies that help you build emotional resilience, strengthen communication, set boundaries, and make meaningful changes.

I draw from what research says works best and years of experience in healthcare leadership, leadership coaching, and organizational psychology/development. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people‐pleasing, or major transitions, I can help you find ways in which you hold can bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Mark Wilkerson

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


If you're navigating a life transition, or dealing with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or depression, I'd love to work with you. I'm currently accepting older teens and adults for telehealth appointments, and I bring a wide range of evidence-based tools to our work together.

A little about my background: I served in the US Army before earning my Bachelor's and Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, residential care, and outpatient settings. I take my work seriously, but also try to keep things light-hearted when necessary. I'm pretty laid back, and I think that comes through pretty quickly once we start talking. I have also learned to cope and coexist ADHD, have experienced major depressive episodes, and overcome struggles with OCD.

Dr. Amanda Simms

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

Jennifer Manderscheid

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


My counseling style is personalized and adaptive, so we focus on what works best for you instead of a one size fits all approach. I am not very formal and we are likely going to laugh at times as we get to know each other. Together, we will talk about what brings you to therapy now, and start to outline the goals you would like to move toward in this season of your life.

We will collaborate to create realistic, meaningful goals for therapy and concrete ways to meet them that fit your life, values, and pace. I invite curiosity, questions, and feedback, and I see our work as a shared process rather than me telling you what to do. Sessions are a place where you can be fully yourself while we explore patterns and try new coping tools.

Over the years, I have worked with many different types of issues and life transitions, and I bring that broad experience into our work together. It is a true honor to walk with clients through life’s messier and more painful chapters and to witness them come out on the other side with more clarity, confidence, and relief. If you are ready to begin, I would be glad to support you.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Madison

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.

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