It is no easy decision to seek therapy. To look with someone at what hurts. To find hope, relief, and perspective, and to grow through this. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with people in many settings including academic medical hospitals, the VA, college counseling, and an American Indian Reservation. I have extensive experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and life transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
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.
Welcome! I specialize in providing care through evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines compassion, collaboration, and creativity to support healing and growth in a safe and affirming space.
I provide a welcoming environment for individuals of all identities. I have specialized knowledge in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and offering education on harm reduction practices.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with kids, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, stress, autism, executive functioning challenges, late or complex diagnosis, and the kinds of stuck thoughts and big feelings that get in the way of daily life. My approach is developmental, neuroscience-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming, which is a fancy way of saying I'm more interested in how your brain actually works than in what's "wrong" with it.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-billed therapy. I also offer comprehensive evaluations (ADHD, autism, and the Exam Readiness Profile for high-stakes testing), parent and professional consultations, clinical supervision, and trainings through my practice at dropsych.com, plus self-paced courses, workbooks, and family resources at stickybrainstudio.org.

Hi, I’m TeKiara Bolden-Ward, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work, with a deep commitment to helping individuals heal from trauma, manage stress, and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-compassion. I bring several years of experience supporting children, families, and educators.
My goal as a counselor is to support you on your journey of self-discovery by taking a stance of curiosity—recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. I typically work with young adults, children, and families focusing on navigating life transitions, anxiety and mood management, and relational work, including relationship to self. I'm a graduate of Mount Mary University with a MS in Professional Counseling, Concentration in Clinical Mental Health.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Milwaukee starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for general mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your specific needs and offers the session format you prefer, whether that's in-person or virtual.
Milwaukee has a large and varied mental health provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Bay View, Wauwatosa, the East Side, and West Allis. Narrowing your options can feel overwhelming when so many directories list providers who may not be accepting new patients or taking your insurance. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and style — so you can feel more confident about the fit.
Therapy in Milwaukee can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and every provider listed is accepting new patients.
