Amy Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CIMPH
My clients feel exhausted from carrying the mental load of everything. They know they should be kinder to themself, but somehow always feel behind. If this sounds like you, then let’s work together. I offer therapy that is modern, accessible, and holistic. We’ll use practical tools to help you manage stress, quiet your inner critic, and feel more in control of your emotions. Therapy with me is supportive but also action-oriented and we’ll work together to make changes that actually stick. I believe therapy should be something you look forward to. If you’re ready to feel more in control of your life, let’s talk.

Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We believe that therapy should be a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. Our approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Our psychologists specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, health anxiety, chronic illness, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, OCD, and other challenges that can impact emotional well-being. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, we help clients develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Whether you're navigating a health condition, a major life transition, or longstanding emotional struggles, our goal is to provide a supportive space where you can gain insight, foster growth, and create lasting change.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Considering Divorce? Please call me before you call an attorney! What can seem like you're heading for a break up can be a breakthrough to a deeper connection; despite infidelity, loss of a child or lack of intimacy. You are perhaps feeling shame or anger and you're anxious to take the first step; yet you want to try everything for yourself and your family. Maybe you've tried other methods such as marriage counseling to no avail. Please call for a free consult! Or you're looking to rebuild after a breakup and feel like you've lost yourself. My premarital work helps curb divorce stats! Prefer a 100% confidential
therapeutic process from the start? Most relationship issues do not involve a mental health diagnosis. Rather, you’ve adapted to and from broken models. Through relationship education you will learn new models and tools to equip yourself for the relationship you want with yourself or someone else.

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, Hmong, and East African communities are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
