Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Oconomowoc, WI


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.

Therapist

I’m a licensed therapist with experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, working with individuals navigating mood challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the everyday weight that can come with trying to hold everything together.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and honest space where you don’t have to filter or perform. I’ll meet you where you are, while also helping you gently look at patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. I value real conversations, consistency, and creating an environment where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up fully as yourself.

My goal is to help you build insight, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and genuinely yours.

Mikayla Phan

Mikayla Phan

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual ADHD therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, and chronic follow-through difficulties.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time.

This foundation allows me to help individuals, couples, and families address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

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.
