If you're navigating a life transition, or dealing with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or depression, I'd love to work with you. I'm currently accepting older teens and adults for telehealth appointments, and I bring a wide range of evidence-based tools to our work together.
A little about my background: I served in the US Army before earning my Bachelor's and Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, residential care, and outpatient settings. I take my work seriously, but also try to keep things light-hearted when necessary. I'm pretty laid back, and I think that comes through pretty quickly once we start talking. I have also learned to cope and coexist ADHD, have experienced major depressive episodes, and overcome struggles with OCD.
I bring over a decade of professional experience to therapy along with my own life experiences, empathy, understanding, and hopefully a little humor along the way.
While my license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to live my own life as authentically and intentionally as I can as a parent, family member, and friend; and I bring those same values into the therapy room.
I believe every person has a story worth telling and deserves to feel heard without judgment. It is truly an honor to witness the strength and resilience my clients possess, and I never take for granted the trust they place in me by allowing me to be part of their journey.
Welcome — I’m Shuntell Browne, a licensed therapist and proud United States Navy veteran. My background in military service deeply informs the way I show up in the therapy space: with structure, compassion, accountability, and a strong commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
I work with both children and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, grief, and family transitions such as divorce or changes in caregiving. I have extensive experience supporting children and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, peer relationships, school stress, and big emotions, as well as adults who are working through life stressors, past trauma, and relationship challenges.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered, while also learning practical coping skills they can apply outside of sessions. I believe therapy should be both healing and actionable, and I partner closely with clients to help them make meaningful, lasting changes.
Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to support growth, build emotional resilience, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Whether you're facing the aftermath of a breakup, grieving the loss of a loved one or wrestling with deep seated wounds from the past, I believe the true healing is possible through transformative love & grace. Together, we'll embark on your journey of healing and growth, empowering you to overcome obstacles, find inner strength and embrace a brighter day. I am here to start this journey with you!
I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.
I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.
I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy
I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.
Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

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.
