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.

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.
Greetings :) My name is Regina. I’m a kind, thoughtful mental health practitioner who genuinely enjoys helping people overcome their respective challenges and become healthier versions of themselves.
I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, trauma, cultural and ethnic concerns, women’s issues, mood disorders such as Bipolar I, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in caring for the whole person and often consider spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being as part of the healing process. I offer therapy from a Christian perspective for clients who want faith incorporated into our work, while also welcoming and respecting clients from non-spiritual backgrounds. I currently offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

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 been a therapist for 23 years, and I still consider it a privilege to sit with people during the hardest and most tender parts of their lives. My style is warm and down to earth. I am not the therapist who nods silently for 50 minutes. I will ask real questions, laugh with you, and tell you the truth kindly when you need to hear it.
Much of my work centers on anxiety, depression, stress, women's issues, family relationships, grief, chronic illness, end of life concerns, and questions of identity and culture. If you are carrying something heavy, you do not have to explain it perfectly for me to understand it.
Outside my office, I am usually with my two corgis, cooking with my husband, or trying a new restaurant with him. We also love travel and live music. I make art, wander art festivals with my girlfriends, garden and make herbal medicines, read constantly, practice yoga, spend as much time in nature as I can, and yes, I keep a very tidy island in Animal Crossing.
Finding light in the darkest moments, and hope when it feels lost. For 25 years, Stacey has helped people rewrite their stories, move through pain, and reclaim their sense of self.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll find her thrifting for hidden gems, traveling, cheering on her favorite sport teams or playing games—because joy and play are powerful parts of healing, too.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Milwaukee, WI
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.
