Openspace LLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD,LPC, ATR-BC
Open Space Counseling and Coaching provides clients the space and inspiration to transform.
Off the bat I want you, my potential clients, to know that I am not perfect and I have overcome hard things. I have soared and been burned and then attempted to soar again with victories. In our work together you will not have to explain suffering, nor explain why you are not going to give up. You will be met with the open space philosophy that many possibilities exist even during times of doubt or disrepair.
In our work together you will be encouraged to follow your hopes and make personal goals. While practicing, valuable mental health skills, taking each step intentionally towards your own successes. Victory is part of open space philosophy. You will be supported to achieve goals through skills of accountability and maintaining motivation.
In our counseling or coaching work together we can address areas of your life that might require you to overcome anxiety and develop leadership skills instead. Many of my current clients are self starters, passionate people who care greatly for their communities. In our work together it is an appropriate space to explore entrepreneurship or career enhancement. Lastly it is important to share that at the foundation of mental health often comes nutrition; the basics of food, sleep and movement. The relationship between nutrition and mental health is well documented. Stress reduction, improved sleep, improved mood stability, mental clarity and focus as well as health and fitness goal attainment. If I am not in my office or at home I am on the pickle ball courts or hiking in nature. Take care and talk soon.

Life Transitions
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life transitions can bring up more than just stress. They often activate older patterns around control, uncertainty, or feeling unprepared. What looks like a normal change on the outside can feel much heavier underneath. In therapy, we look at how past experiences may be shaping your reaction now and help you move through change without feeling like everything is on edge.

Life Transitions
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Life transitions can feel unsettling even when they are expected. Changes such as starting or ending relationships, graduating, beginning a new job, adjusting to family shifts, or moving into new stages of life can bring uncertainty, self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. I provide a supportive space for those navigating seasons of change and trying to find stability in the midst of it. During transitions, it is common to feel “in between”, no longer where you were, but not yet sure of where you are going. In therapy, we work to slow that process down and make sense of what is changing emotionally, mentally, and relationally. This often includes exploring identity, expectations, fears, and the pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is compassionate and practical. I help clients build grounding skills for managing anxiety and emotional stress while also exploring the deeper meaning of the transition they are experiencing. This combination allows for both immediate support and long-term growth. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can also be incorporated to support hope, direction, and spiritual grounding during uncertain seasons. Faith can become a source of stability and reassurance as clients navigate change. My goal is to help clients feel more anchored and confident as they move through life’s transitions, trusting that even uncomfortable change can lead to growth, clarity, and new beginnings.

Life transitions, even positive ones, can feel overwhelming and uncertain. I help clients process change, sort through conflicting emotions, and gain clarity about what comes next. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels grounded, realistic, and aligned with your values so you can move forward with more confidence.

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.
