Hi, I’m Dr. Traore, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner passionate about helping clients find calm, clarity, and confidence in their daily lives. My background spans medication management, psychotherapy, and holistic care for individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. I hold a doctoral degree in nursing practice and bring years of experience supporting clients across diverse backgrounds. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and genuinely understood.
I’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.
I am kind, compassionate, I like to have fun, and I enjoy learning new things.
Hello! I’m Rianna, a life-long Madisonian, animal lover, and nature enthusiast. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and provide individual mental health counseling. I’ve been practicing since 2017 and work with a range of presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity concerns, family or origin concerns, trauma, and more. I enjoy working with adult clients and have experience working with clients with various identities (race, gender, disability, faith, etc.).
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.
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.
