Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Milwaukee, WI

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 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.

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.

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!

Want to know if we’ll click?

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.

Great to meet you!

As your therapist I strive to create a warm, safe, engaging space where we can explore your strengths and build a do-able plan to help get you through the tough spots. My primary goal is to collaborate with you and build a strong working relationship to best help you meet your goals. I am licensed to practice as a Therapist in Illinois and Wisconsin.

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. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Stacey specializes in guiding individuals and couples through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship and family strain and even moments of deep hopelessness. 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.

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.
