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 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’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.
Greetings :)
My name is Regina. I am a kind, thoughtful mental health practitioner who thoroughly enjoys assisting people overcome their respective challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes in spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical alignment. I specialize in cultural & ethnic issues, e.g., racial trauma, women's issues, domestic violence, severe anxiety, and mood disorders, e.g., Bipolar 1, all from a Christian perspective (I work with non-Christians too as I'm about helping people from all faith/non-spiritual backgrounds.) I am now accepting new clients for in-person and virtual transformation sessions!
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with kids, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, stress, autism, executive functioning challenges, late or complex diagnosis, and the kinds of stuck thoughts and big feelings that get in the way of daily life. My approach is developmental, neuroscience-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming, which is a fancy way of saying I'm more interested in how your brain actually works than in what's "wrong" with it.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-billed therapy. I also offer comprehensive evaluations (ADHD, autism, and the Exam Readiness Profile for high-stakes testing), parent and professional consultations, clinical supervision, and trainings through my practice at dropsych.com, plus self-paced courses, workbooks, and family resources at stickybrainstudio.org.
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 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 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.
My goal as a counselor is to support you on your journey of self-discovery by taking a stance of curiosity—recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. I typically work with young adults, children, and families focusing on navigating life transitions, anxiety and mood management, and relational work, including relationship to self. I'm a graduate of Mount Mary University with a MS in Professional Counseling, Concentration in Clinical Mental Health.

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.
