Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many people who walk through my door are navigating relationships that have become unsafe or harmful, including experiences of emotional abuse. These struggles often point to deeper questions about connection, safety, relational patterns, and identity, which refers to the ways we learn to be with others and with ourselves.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.

Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting
Psychologist, Ph.D
Emotional abuse can leave invisible scars — confusion, self-doubt, and feeling like “maybe it wasn’t that bad.” It was. We help you identify abusive dynamics, rebuild trust in yourself, and learn how to set boundaries that keep you emotionally safe. You deserve relationships that feel mutual, respectful, and safe.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I support individuals who have experienced emotional or psychological abuse in relationships, families, or other environments. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with trauma, personality dynamics, and complex relational patterns in both community mental health and private practice, I help clients rebuild self-worth, strengthen boundaries, and process the lasting impact of manipulation and control. My approach is compassionate, empowering, and trauma-informed, providing a clear path toward healing, confidence, and healthier relationships.

Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Emotional abuse can be subtle yet deeply damaging, leaving lasting effects on your self-esteem, trust, and sense of worth. It may involve manipulation, gaslighting, constant criticism, or control that makes you doubt your own reality. I provide a safe, validating space to help you process these experiences, understand their impact, and begin to rebuild your confidence and identity. Through trauma-informed therapy, including approaches like IFS, somatic work, and EMDR, we work together to restore your voice, boundaries, and emotional resilience.

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.
