Dr. Vallejo is a bilingual (Spanish/English), bicultural licensed psychologist based in Wisconsin. She works with adults of all ages presenting with a variety of concerns, including challenging relationships with families of origin, difficulties with understanding and expressing emotions, first gen and immigrant experiences, race-based stress, ADHD, concerns with physical health, and mood disorders.
I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, addiction, and tough emotional seasons. As an APSW and SAC-IT in Wisconsin, I bring training in Youth-Oriented Substance Abuse and Trauma Counseling, as well as Brainspotting. In our work together, we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect—especially around substance use, trauma, and patterns that feel hard to change—so you can feel safer, more understood, and more in control of your life.
I'm excited to support you in your mental wellness journey! I have lived experience with birth trauma and mental health issues. I love kids and mommies! I see moms who are pregnant and postpartum up to 2 years. I also see children ages birth to 17. For infants and toddlers, parents or caregivers are present because the treatment focus is the relationship between them, not just the child.
I’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.

Hi, I’m Jennifer — Your Professional "Life-Untangler"
Let’s be honest: taking the first step toward therapy can feel a bit like showing up to a party where you don’t know anyone and you’re pretty sure you’re underdressed. I’m here to tell you: Come as you are. Whether you’re currently holding it all together with caffeine and sheer willpower, or you’re ready to finally unpack that "baggage" you’ve been dragging around since 2014, I’ve got you.

The "Official" Stuff
I hold a Master's in Behavioral Health Psychology from Carroll University. For the past 4 years, I’ve helped people navigate the messy, non-linear, and occasionally ridiculous parts of being human. I specialize in helping:
- Expert over-thinkers (I see you).
- High-achievers who are secretly running on fumes.
- The "Carriers": Those navigating anxiety, sadness, loss, or the sheer exhaustion of caring for everyone but themselves.
How We’ll Work Together
- For Individuals: If your current coping strategy is "ignore it until it explodes," we should talk. We’ll move you from "barely treading water" to actually enjoying the view.
- For Couples — Note: I treat individuals here via insurance on Headway. For couples therapy, I offer self-pay options directly outside of insurance—reach out to discuss rates!

I’m a fan of bad jokes, overpriced lattes, and really old cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, etc. etc. If you’re looking for a therapist who is grounded, direct, and doesn’t use "clinical-speak" to describe your life, reach out and let’s get to work.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic health concerns using a lifestyle medicine–informed approach. Many clients feel overwhelmed managing both mental health symptoms and physical conditions, while balancing work, relationships, and caregiving demands. Often high-functioning yet exhausted, they carry a significant mental and physical load and feel disconnected from their needs or direction. This work focuses on restoring stability by addressing the behavioral and lifestyle factors that influence overall health.
I’m Niajcia, a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to providing compassionate, individualized care to children, adolescents, and young adults. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work through life’s challenges.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2017, followed by my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from UW–Madison in 2019. Since completing my graduate degree, I have continued to expand my clinical training and experience in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), suicide prevention and intervention, and adoption and foster care.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I work with clients to develop healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, build self-awareness, and recognize their individual strengths. I also value collaboration with parents and caregivers when appropriate to support meaningful progress beyond therapy.
I believe every client has a unique story, and therapy should meet them where they are.
Healing starts with being heard.
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’m Anushka Fonseka, 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.
With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with children (6+), teens, adults, and families facing anxiety, panic, OCD, body-focused behaviors like hair pulling/skin picking, eating disorders, ARFID, depression, and life transitions. I also offer parent coaching, family therapy, and couples counseling as it relates to navigating a loved one faced with some of these challenges. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build resilience. My approach is collaborative—together, we set meaningful goals, break them into manageable steps, and develop skills and tools for lasting change.

Frequently asked questions


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 Milwaukee
Searching for therapists in Milwaukee starts with understanding what kind of support you want from therapy. Milwaukee therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Milwaukee has a broad mental health care community across neighborhoods like the East Side, Bay View, Walker’s Point, Wauwatosa, and the surrounding suburbs. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including office location, appointment availability, virtual session options, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual therapy for easier scheduling. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Milwaukee can be a significant expense 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 search for Milwaukee therapists who are accepting new clients, check your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
