I am a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Superior.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families around anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, religious trauma, spiritual concerns, and psychedelic integration.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Madison

Searching for postpartum therapists in Madison starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, or a PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

Madison offers both in-person and virtual postpartum support, and the right format may depend on your schedule, infant care needs, physical recovery, and access to transportation. Virtual sessions can make it easier to connect with a therapist who fits your needs, especially when local appointment times are limited. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how their availability fits your week.

Therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
