In my online therapy practice, I help individuals move through trauma, anxiety, grief, and the stuck places that keep them from feeling whole. Our work together blends proven approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, Sensorimotor, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support deep healing and personal growth. Whether you're working through the past or navigating something new, you don’t have to do it alone. This is a space where we’ll move at your pace—gently, intentionally, and with care.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Move Toward Healing and Growth
Are you ready to move forward and create real change in your life? Therapy offers the space to heal, gain insight, and build the confidence to live more fully. Together, we’ll work to release the pain and patterns that have kept you stuck, so you can develop a stronger, happier, and more grounded version of yourself.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming—especially when old wounds continue to echo in the present. Unresolved childhood experiences can show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or struggles in relationships. When your emotional or physical needs weren’t met early on, it can leave lasting imprints of fear, shame, or powerlessness.
I deeply understand how this feels. My own journey of healing and professional training have given me both empathy and the tools to guide others through their own process of recovery and growth.
You don’t have to carry the past alone. Together, we can help you reconnect with your strength, release old pain, and step into the life you were meant to live.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can be the greatest source of satisfaction in our lives, but they also have the capacity to cause us the most pain. The complex dynamics between romantic partners, parents and children, siblings, friends, and even colleagues can be incredibly challenging to navigate. Please let me help you reclaim the joy in your relationships and learn how to nurture them to become even stronger. I offer virtual couples therapy, family therapy, and parenting coaching, as well as relationship consultation for individuals, all available to you from the privacy and comfort of your own home. I also offer coparenting counseling for divorced/separated parents.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I work collaboratively with my clients to honor who they are, help make sense of their emotional responses to daily experiences, and guide them to become more authentic in their relationships. My approach is nonjudgmental, reflective and oftentimes playful. During our sessions, I help clients make connections between current problems and past struggles. Understanding these patterns builds self-awareness and helps create more adaptive ways of coping with stress and relating to others.
I have been trained in Humanistic/Existential, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and draw upon these approaches to best respond to my client's concerns, goals and disposition.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with life transitions, including changes in roles or identity, and shifts in relationships. These moments in one's life frequently result in a mix of anxiety and depression, but can be crucial times for self-reflection and growth. I support my clients through individual therapy and couples counseling.

Dr. Kimberlyann Marsden
Psychologist
My therapy practice has been completely online for over three years. I have found the technology enables clients to be able to engage in sessions from the comfort of their own home or location of their choosing. I do all of the same dynamic practices in sessions online, whether that be teaching breathwork, visualization or embodiment movement techniques. I use the chat function to give the client links for resources or other recommendations. The platform I use is Simple Practice which has an app that can be used on mobile devices as well as a desktop version. It provides a secure, HIPAA compliant videochat platform which is very easy to use.
I am an out of network therapist so clients pay me directly and then I provide a superbill which can be used to obtain insurance reimbursement if you are eligible for it based on your policy. I also provide clients a service called Reimbursify where they can submit a request to find out how much their insurance will cover and it can also be used to submit claims directly to your insurance company. If you have any issues with the insurance company Reimbursify can assist in getting information.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

My time in private practice coincided with the depths of the COVID pandemic. So, for a while, virtual therapy is all I knew! I always strive to make online therapy feel the same as it does in-person -- cozy, comfortable, warm, conversational, and highly attuned to what's unfolding between us in session.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino and East African communities — particularly Hmong and Somali residents — are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
