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 suicidal thoughts alongside varying degrees of hurt, disappointment, sadness, or depression. These struggles often point to deeper questions about why we hurt the way we do, what our pain may be trying to illuminate about our lives, and what it takes to feel alive in the world again.
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.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. These thoughts are more common than many realize and often signal deep emotional pain rather than a true wish to die. Together, we work to understand the underlying causes, build coping strategies, and create a sense of safety and hope. Through evidence-based therapy, I help clients reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with meaning, support, and reasons to live.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe that many people have had, at some point, suicidal thoughts due to societal pressures. Each person is different in their thoughts, beliefs, and desires. I do not believe in the desire to keep someone alive for the sake of life alone, but rather that it is my job to help someone cultivate a live a life worth living without judgement.

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.
