Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Wisconsin

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 approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story. I work with people across all stages of life who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to help you rebuild safety, rediscover connection, and move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self. Alongside traditional therapy, I also offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can provide a meaningful, body-centered way to explore healing and self-awareness.

Hello, I’m Dr. Priyanka Parikh, and I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with extensive experience providing evidence-based, compassionate care to adults from a wide range of backgrounds including Veterans, students, individuals from traditionally underserved communities, and people navigating chronic medical or mental health conditions.

I believe that healing begins the moment you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a therapist, my heart is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure, just honesty and compassion. What sets me apart is my ability to listen beyond the words. I pay attention to your story, your emotions, your patterns, and even the things you don’t always know how to express.

I have over 24 years of experience working with a broad range of individuals and families of diverse cultural and economic populations. I've provided treatment to individuals with addictions, behavioral and mental health challenges. I don’t treat people with a one-size-fits-all approach. I honor your uniqueness. I take the time to understand your background, your experiences, and the goals that truly matter to you. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover the root of what you’re facing, not just the symptoms on the surface.

In our work together, I focus on helping you gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and discover healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. I’ll support you, encourage you, and at times gently challenge you—because your growth matters. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity issues, or simply feeling stuck, I will help you identify what’s holding you back and empower you to move toward the person you were created to be.

My passion is helping people heal, grow, and thrive. I believe change is possible, hope is real, and your life has value and purpose. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional freedom and wholeness, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside as you discover your strengths, navigate challenges, and step into the version you want to become. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, trauma-focused, and tailored to each individual. I focus on helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to your values.
