Hi! I'm glad you're here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in the power of a growth mindset to strengthen mental health and personal well-being. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families to help them navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. My areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I take a client-centered approach, emphasizing mindfulness, stress management, and self-acceptance. I also value incorporating humor when appropriate to create a supportive and comfortable environment for change.
I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply need someone to talk to, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can happen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative process—you are the expert on your life, and it's a privilege to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful as you move toward meaningful change.
I am an older adult with a counseling degree based on several decades of life experiences. I understand you because I have probably 'been there' in my own life before. I accurately empathize with you and give you treatment pathways that worked for me. I accept all types of life's problems and because I have gone through divorce and the loss of a child, I specialize in grief counseling. I have a specialty in foster amd adoption therapy. I realize that counseling is hard work on the part of the client, and as your therapist I commit to helping you seek deliverance of the past and cheer you on to the future.
If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move
forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent
over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who
are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and
depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with
individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and
community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.
I believe prioritizing mental health is an important part of creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and I know reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps to take. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I have worked primarily with adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward healing, self understanding, and meaningful growth.
I believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.
You might be carrying something that feels too heavy to put into words, like a past that keeps surfacing, anxiety that will not quiet, or a relationship with substances you are finally ready to rethink. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to have it all figured out to start. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Wisconsin facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I am committed to seeing you as more than your hardest chapter.
Hi, I’m Whyketha, a licensed professional counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, supportive, and real. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, life stress, grief, relationship challenges, and major transitions. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative.
I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.

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.
