I graduated from UW-Stout in 2020 and had a crash course of therapy during the pandemic. This has allowed me to become a more empatheic and passionate therapist who works hard to support clients through all of life's changes. I specialize in couples and relational work, but also work with indiviudals who are looking to navigate grief, anxiety, life changes, and stress. I support and research women's health, fertility/infertility and treat perinatal mood disorders.

Alecia Corbett

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Over my social work career, I've worked in education, private practice, and healthcare, and each setting has broadened my ability to connect with people across a wide range of ages, ethnicities, and gender identities. I have training and experience in anxiety, depression, various intimacy concerns, couples work, and trauma, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and strength-based approaches, among others. Because I believe in working with the whole person, my training in mindfulness and yoga (RYT-200) is woven into the emotional regulation skills I teach. Above all, I want you to know that you'll be met here with warmth and without judgment.

I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep problems, life stress, adjustment concerns, and relationship challenges so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to manage changes and challenges on your own, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, develop effective strategies, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and build a path forward that aligns with your goals.

Kylie Zimmerman

Kylie Zimmerman

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi, I’m Kylie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families, with a special passion for supporting children, adolescents, and the people who care about them.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. My goal is to meet clients where they are, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and create a space where healing and growth feel possible. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, we’ll work together to ensure your care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My approach is collaborative and I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, autism, or life changes.

When working with children and families, I believe lasting change happens when the whole family feels supported. I enjoy helping families strengthen communication, better understand one another, and build on the strengths they already have.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Iowa and my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. My experience includes both private practice and nonprofit settings, working primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, listening to music, watching anime, playing video games, and being outdoors. These interests often help me connect with the children, teens, and young adults I work with and remind me that genuine connection is at the heart of meaningful therapy.
