Self Psychology
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.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Lisa Herpolsheimer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP-II, C-DBT
My therapeutic style is warm, genuine and engaging; I am well known for my natural ability to build a collaborative, effective, and deeply meaningful therapeutic relationship with my clients. I have 25 years of experiencing providing psychotherapy, and my specialty area is working with emotionally sensitive persons who have difficulty regulating and managing emotions. Most often, the clients I work with have more than one mental health concern at a time that they are seeking treatment for, and they are in need of an advanced-trained specialist due to multiple clinically complex needs. I work with Teens ages 14-18, Young Adults 18-25, and Adults 26 and Over. I provide therapy services either in-person at our beautiful historic Delafield, Wisconsin location at the Wise Mind DBT & CBT Center, or via Secure and Private Telehealth Services.
Therapy sessions with me are a blend of therapeutic processing (with a client-centered/strengths-based perspective), which I combine with teaching you the transformative Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT) that are relevant to your life in the here and now. The DBT Skills and CBT-Based Techniques that I utilize are designed to help alleviate suffering from emotion regulation/high emotional sensitivity problems, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood disorders including Anxiety, Depression, and OCD, in addition to other co-occurring mental health disorders. I also provide care to persons with ADHD / neurodivergence care needs. I am advanced-trained and certified to provide effective and compassionate care for persons seeking to recover from psychological trauma, including PTSD and Complex PTSD.
You will experience both supportive and validating care in session, while also learning and practicing deeply powerful skills to help you safely manage and experience your emotions. My aim is to provide transformative and effective care for your mental heath symptoms, thus preparing you to take on life's challenges more effectively as they arise in your life out of session.
My goal for you is that you Build A Life Worth Living: a life that is meaningful and rewarding for you, a life that brings you peace, joy, and confidence in your resiliency all along the way.
Working with me, you will become more able to deeply explore your emotions, learn to gently broaden your perspective on troubling situations, you will be able to access your inherent wisdom and insight into the patterns you have observed in your life, and will develop a renewed sense of confidence and hopefulness as you recover and re-discover your ability to reach the personal life goals that you may have thought were just too far out of reach for you until now.
I would be honored to Walk Alongside You on your recovery journey!
I also provide a FREE and in-depth Clinical Consultation Call for persons interested in starting therapy with me. The fastest and easiest way to get in contact with me to schedule your free consultation call is to TEXT message me directly, on my private and password-protected secure mobile phone at: (262) 744-5201. I look forward to connecting with you!

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.
