As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012. I utilize a client centered approach in assisting my clients to remove barriers preventing them from living their best life. I utilize a variety of tools and encourage my clients to practice self-advocacy and be an active participant in decision making in their therapy. After all you are the expert on you.
Pahoua Xiong is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Pahoua can help clients manage stress, depression, burnout and anxiety. She helps women with career and family challenges.
I take a collaborative, client-centered approach grounded in curiosity, compassion, and practical support. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood without judgment, and explore what matters most to you at a pace that feels manageable.
I believe meaningful change comes from combining insight with action. Together, we’ll look at the patterns, experiences, and pressures shaping your life while also building concrete tools you can use between sessions. I tailor my work to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process, drawing on your strengths, values, culture, and goals.
Hi! I’m Jamie and I’m really excited to be a part of your journey. I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in professional counseling. I have over four years of experience providing psychotherapy and about six years of experience working in corrections. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from so many different backgrounds and at very different points in their lives.
When it comes to therapy, I’m pretty down-to-earth. I’m supportive, empathetic, and I definitely believe there is room for humor in therapy too. I want our sessions to feel like a place where you can just be yourself. You don’t have to have the perfect words, know exactly what you’re feeling, or have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That’s what we’re here to work through together.
I believe one of the most important parts of counseling is meeting people where they are. Life gets messy, and sometimes we just need someone in our corner who will listen, support us, challenge us when we need it, and remind us of the strengths we may have forgotten we have.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you, hearing your story, celebrating your wins (even the little ones!), and helping you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.
Hello, and welcome.
Seeking support can be one of the most courageous steps a person takes, and I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward the life you want to live.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with extensive experience working with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings, helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult experiences while rediscovering their strengths and sense of purpose.
In addition to my clinical experience, I am a United States Air Force combat veteran and former first responder. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the unique challenges associated with high-stress professions, trauma exposure, operational demands, transition struggles, and the pressure of carrying significant responsibility while managing your own well-being. As a result, I have a particular passion for working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others whose careers require them to care for others while often neglecting themselves.

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.
