I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Madison, Wisconsin. I work with adults who are trying to make sense of themselves, their relationships, and what comes next, especially after experiences that have left them questioning their own judgment, identity, or sense of who they are.
I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationship dynamics, personality disorders, divorce, career changes, and other major life transitions. I’m particularly drawn to working with people who have spent a long time adapting to difficult relationships or living according to roles and expectations that no longer fit.
I also love working with college students and adults who are asking some version of: Who am I when I’m not being who everyone else needs or expects me to be?
My style is curious, direct, thoughtful, and deeply human. Therapy with me isn’t about sitting across from someone who simply nods and takes notes. We’ll look closely at what’s happening, make connections, challenge what needs challenging, and leave room for humor along the way.
Outside the therapy room, I’m endlessly curious about people, history, relationships, and the complicated ways we become who we are. I believe the best therapy happens when two people can show up honestly and do meaningful work together. That’s what I try to bring to every session.

Hi! I'm Brittany, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, life transitions, parenting challenges, and disordered eating. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical skills, and figure out what works for you. I’ll meet you with compassion and understanding, while also gently challenging you when it feels helpful. I believe support and accountability can coexist, and sometimes growth comes from having someone in your corner who will both encourage you and keep it real with you.
My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. No need to have it all together, find the perfect words, or pretend things are okay when they aren’t. Therapy with me is meant to feel relaxed, comfortable, and real. Humor, sarcasm, and the occasional swear word are absolutely welcome. We can laugh, sit with the hard stuff, and talk honestly about what’s going on without fear of judgment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who works with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support clients in a variety of settings, including as a school counselor, a mental health provider in a county jail, in private practice, and now through Grow Therapy. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on the unique challenges people face and the resilience they bring to the counseling process.
I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of childhood trauma. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
One of my passions is helping people understand how their brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and the world around them. I believe that when we understand why we think, feel, and react the way we do, we can approach healing with greater self-compassion and confidence. While trauma can have a lasting impact, I believe growth beyond trauma is possible, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing and a more fulfilling life.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, my master's degree in Counseling, and my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I value lifelong learning and strive to incorporate evidence-based practices into my work while tailoring therapy to each client's unique needs and goals.
When I'm not working, I enjoy crocheting and other crafts, spending time with my dogs, biking, and traveling. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey and helping you build the skills and insight needed to create lasting, positive change.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania; I'm also licensed in Wisconsin. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present and having a healthy relationship with yourself. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core.
I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there are many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: (www.everystepforward.com). And, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

"Healing is possible, even when it feels far away."
I'm Liz, a LCSW who specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perinatal mental health.
Maybe you've spent years learning how to keep going. You're capable, dependable, and often the person others turn to. But underneath it all, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you don't fully understand. On the inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode.
You might find yourself overthinking, staying constantly busy, feeling on edge, struggling to slow down, or wondering why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships and daily life. Often, these responses developed for a reason. They helped you cope with difficult experiences and get through what you had to get through.
Trauma isn't just something that happened in the past. It can affect how safe you feel in the world, how you relate to others, and how you see yourself. It can leave you feeling disconnected from your emotions, your body, or the person you want to be. I provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space where we can explore these experiences at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is relational and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have been keeping you stuck, process past experiences, build coping tools that actually fit your life, and strengthen your connection to yourself.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to move through life with a greater sense of choice, confidence, and self-understanding. Healing looks different for everyone, and we'll work together to find what that looks like for you.

I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem concerns, social difficulties, trauma-related experiences, and life transitions.
I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy approach used to help individuals process distressing experiences, trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions in a safe and supportive way. EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less emotionally overwhelming and disruptive in daily life.
My goal is to help children and adults feel empowered, understood, and capable of navigating life with greater confidence, healing, and emotional well-being.

Looking for help can be overwhelming. Then the thought of actually asking for help can be uncomfortable, awkward, or even bring in some anxiety. If you find that is how you are feeling, it is absolutely okay! Actually, one could even say that is totally normal.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in ADHD therapy for adults, couples, families, and college students across Florida and Wisconsin struggling with emotional exhaustion, unfinished tasks, relationship conflict, burnout, or chronic overwhelm. Many of the clients I work with have spent years feeling frustrated with not being able to consistently follow through, stay organized, manage emotions, or function at the level they know they are capable of.
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 clients address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping people better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Hi, I’m Dr. DeAnna (Dee) Brookhart.
If you’re here, chances are life feels heavier than it should. Maybe stress won’t let up, anxiety keeps you on edge, or sadness has dulled your energy. Perhaps your relationship feels strained, or addiction has taken more space than you want it to. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to carry it by yourself.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, Wisconsin and Utah, and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor with nearly 30 years of experience. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals, couples, and families through struggles like anxiety, depression, addiction, marital or couples issues, workplace trauma, and the challenges of blended family life. I also work with clients navigating personality struggles or the lasting effects of stress and trauma.
My approach is warm and collaborative. We’ll clarify what matters most to you, set realistic goals, and work at a pace that feels safe. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies — always adapted to your needs. Sessions with me often include open conversation, practical coping tools, encouragement, and sometimes even humor when it helps ease the weight.
I see healing as holistic. That means looking at not only your thoughts and emotions, but also how stress shows up in your body, how you connect with others, and how your daily habits shape your well-being.
I work best with adults and couples ready to make changes, even if they’re not sure where to start.
Outside the office, I love cooking, reading, traveling to the beach, and spending time with my family. I have ADORABLE grandkids! And of course Charlie, my Golden Retriever.
If you’re ready to feel lighter, find clarity, and rebuild what matters most, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Hi, I am Jenn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the owner of Epijennetics Counseling and Consulting in Libertyville, Illinois.. You can read more about my work and practice at www.epijennetics.com. As a therapist, I hold the belief that we cannot fully understand mental health without first understanding the impact of our stories, our relationships, and our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. I am passionate about helping clients increase their self-awareness of these things so that they are more in touch with their feelings, needs, and desires, and are more equipped with the knowledge and tools to create the life that they want. By utilizing assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to better understand personality and the Young Schema Assessment to explore harmful thoughts and beliefs that came from previous experiences and messages received during childhood years, I help clients discover hidden obstacles that keep them from having the life they dream of. I have found that when we put in the work to make sense of ourselves and our stories, we not only heal and grow ourselves but also develop more compassion and increased understanding of others. Often this growth and healing process lessens mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression and improves overall quality of life, as well as relationship quality. If you are interested in doing some exploring, I would love to hear from you! (Please make an in-office appointment if you are booking Couple or Family therapy sessions.)

I am an Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has extensive experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University, where the prominent perspective was person-centered therapy. I have worked with several different client populations including couples with marriage difficulties, adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and other life adjustment issues, physically and sexually abused adolescents and adults, adolescents with mental health issues related to school, home, adjustment, or mental illness, and even adolescents and adults on the verge of suicide. In working with these populations, I have gained vast experience in family dynamics and feel it is important to focus on the whole system, especially when a child is involved. I have also been trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and I feel many adults and adolescents could greatly benefit from learning these skills. God is our ultimate counselor and His word is referenced and prayed from as part of the healing process.

HI! My name is Jill and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my MSW from Temple University and have been practicing since 2016. I work with adults (18-65) address a variety of mental health concerns. I am deeply committed to supporting clients who may feel lost or stuck by helping them to build skills to create a meaningful and empowering life. I understand the challenges of living with a relentless inner critic or dwelling on past events or future worries. Together, we'll identify patterns contributing to unproductive behaviors or recurring painful emotions.

Hello! My name is Adam Lenker. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas and Wisconsin. Whatever you are dealing with, know that I am here to listen and support you, through harnessing of compassionate self-awareness. I believe strongly in encouraging self-empowerment, focusing on choices and their results. Central to my theoretical orientation (Person-Centered, Existentialist) is a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, being solution-focused, as well as encouraging mindfulness.
A little bit about how I approach therapy. In creating an alliance with a new client, I adopt a stance of listening and confronting situations non-judgmentally and with compassion, acknowledging that this work is about you, and your life's goals and struggles. My practice is built around partnership with my clients, working hard to establish and maintain this therapeutic alliance. I do this by taking cues of direction, pace and depth from the people with whom I work, and allowing for immediacy to inform what is and is not working.

Hello! My name is Laura Lininger, LCSW. I attended Indiana University and got my BA in Psychology and then moved on to Tulane University in NOLA for my Masters in Social Work. I have worked for many years doing child and adolescent therapy and then later added working with adults to the services I provide. I believe my child and adolescent therapy background has been a great foundation for working with adults who are dealing with childhood trauma or family of origin issues. As for treatment approaches, I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR. I also include a lot of mindfulness practice in my work with clients. I am proud to provide a safe environment for all races, genders, religions, and clients from the LGBTQ community.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona and Wisconsin, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I live in Wisconsin, my home state, and truly enjoy helping individuals across each of the states where I practice and value the opportunity to support clients from diverse backgrounds and communities.
With over 14 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strengths. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based therapies—because I believe that healing happens best in a supportive, trusting environment where you feel truly heard and understood. I integrate proven approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based techniques, and Solution-Focused strategies to help you make meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss or simply feeling “stuck,” my goal is to help you move toward greater clarity, balance, and resilience. Together, we’ll build on your unique strengths and create a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.
I’m honored to support you on your journey toward well-being—wherever you are, and wherever you’re headed.

First Responders/Healthcare Workers
Hi, I’m Dr. D.
I help high-achieving professionals, executives, healthcare workers, first responders, ethnic minorities and indigenous people who are often successful in their careers but feel stuck or dissatisfied in other areas of life. Many clients struggle with burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, or recurring patterns that interfere with work, relationships, or daily routines. I know what it feels like to face these challenges—and I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to help you get unstuck and reclaim your life.
I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an MS in Applied Psychology, and an MA in Professional Counseling. My integrative, trauma-informed approach combines Psychodynamic therapy (PD), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This approach helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, leverage existing strengths, and implement actionable strategies for real-world, lasting change.
I take a direct, no-nonsense approach, ideal for clients who are ready to take action immediately. Therapy starts in the very first session—you’ll leave with clarity, insight, and actionable steps toward personal growth, healing, and wholeness.

Welcome- I am so happy you are here! I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating sports and work performance pressure, anxiety, trauma symptoms, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to provide a steady, nonjudgmental, and solution‑focused space where you can talk openly, understand what’s happening internally, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change.
I also specialize in supporting athletes and high‑performing individuals who experience mental blocks, performance anxiety, confidence challenges, or the emotional impact of injury, pressure, or burnout. As a former gymnast and current coach, I understand how stress shows up in the body and how quickly the nervous system can shift under intense expectations. I integrate trauma‑informed care with nervous system regulation to help clients rebuild safety, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
