Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
At Pathways To Connection we believe that psychotherapy and spirituality can complement each other in a holistic approach to mental well-being. While psychotherapy helps individuals address emotional and psychological challenges through evidence-based techniques, spirituality offers a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than oneself. By integrating spiritual beliefs or practices into therapy, individuals can explore how their values, faith, or sense of purpose influence their mental health and coping mechanisms. This blend fosters personal growth, healing, and a greater sense of peace, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with a strong foundation of inner strength and spiritual resilience.

Debbie Millman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, NCC
I have extensive training in spiritual direction and obtained my Master of Arts in professional counseling from a theological seminary, which was a rich experience for me personally. I like to put this training to use when people identify this as an area they would like to strengthen or include in the healing process.

Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide psychotherapy that respectfully integrates exploration of spirituality as part of the therapeutic process when it is meaningful to the client. Our approach creates space to reflect on questions of purpose, meaning, values, and connection, while supporting emotional well-being and psychological growth. We work collaboratively with clients from all spiritual and non-spiritual backgrounds, honoring individual belief systems without imposing any particular framework. Treatment may include integrating spiritual resources, practices, or beliefs in a way that supports coping, resilience, and a deeper sense of alignment and direction in life.

Spirituality
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I offer a non‑judgmental place for adults navigating questions of spirituality, whether you are deconstructing a faith tradition, feeling hurt or confused by past religious experiences, or sensing that something deeper is calling you and you are not sure how to relate to it. This might look like feeling disconnected from the beliefs you grew up with, struggling with fear or guilt around leaving a religion, or wanting a relationship with the sacred that feels more authentic and less rule based.
In our work, spirituality is not something you have to get “right,” but something we gently explore through your own body, values, and lived experience. We look at how early spiritual or religious messages shaped your sense of self, what now feels outdated or constricting, and what still feels true. Many people I see are asking, “What do I believe now?” or feel open to something larger, such as God, the universe, energy, or simply a sense of connection, and want support in understanding what genuinely supports them. I do not impose a belief system; I help you listen for your own, at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system.
This work can be especially helpful if you feel caught between worlds, no longer at home in old structures but not yet clear on what comes next. Together, we make space for grief, anger, confusion, relief, and awe, and explore what it could be like to experience spirituality as a source of stability rather than pressure or shame.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We are primarily interacting in this physical, material world realm but most of us know and can feel that there is more. Working with both the physical plane and also the larger picture spiritual plane helps make some of the baffling or wrong things that happen make more sense in terms of our high level intention to learn, grow, evolve and be of service. Tapping into the underlying energetic aspects can give us additional tools to work with as well.

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.
