Welcome. I am a dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience supporting both children and adults. I primarily work with individuals struggling with sadness, guilt, loss, loneliness, panic, overthinking, shame, ruminating thoughts, family issues, trauma, and worry. Having worked as a Grief Counselor in my previous role, I helped individuals navigate life while adjusting to their grief by sitting with people as they share their deepest thoughts and emotions. I offer an inclusive space where clients can feel safe, respected, and seen.

Therapist

As a former Division I track and field athlete, I know what it's like to push yourself to the limit — and what happens when the pressure starts to feel like too much. The expectations, the constant performance, the feeling that you have to be "on" all the time.

I also know what it feels like to not quite fit in, to question who you are outside of the roles you've been playing. That's what led me to this work — a deep understanding that sometimes, the hardest race you run is the one inside your own mind.

My approach is rooted in real experience and genuine care. I create a space where you can drop the mask, breathe, and start figuring out what feels right for you.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!

My counseling style is personalized and adaptive, so we focus on what works best for you instead of a one size fits all approach. I am not very formal and we are likely going to laugh at times as we get to know each other. Together, we will talk about what brings you to therapy now, and start to outline the goals you would like to move toward in this season of your life.

We will collaborate to create realistic, meaningful goals for therapy and concrete ways to meet them that fit your life, values, and pace. I invite curiosity, questions, and feedback, and I see our work as a shared process rather than me telling you what to do. Sessions are a place where you can be fully yourself while we explore patterns and try new coping tools.

Over the years, I have worked with many different types of issues and life transitions, and I bring that broad experience into our work together. It is a true honor to walk with clients through life’s messier and more painful chapters and to witness them come out on the other side with more clarity, confidence, and relief. If you are ready to begin, I would be glad to support you.

Melissa ODonnell

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I earned my master’s degree in social work from George Williams College and hold licensure in both Illinois and Wisconsin. My clinical experience spans work with diverse populations, including teens and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. I am trained in several evidence‐based therapeutic modalities—CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR—which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and support meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide individual therapy as well as family and couples work. I value helping people move through life’s stressors, strengthen their coping skills, and recognize the progress they make toward their goals.

If you have questions about the services and supports available to you, your family, or your loved ones, I’m here to help. I’d also be glad to share more about what I enjoy most in the therapeutic process and how we can work together to build a healthier, more grounded life.

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.

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.
