CPT (CPT) Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

I’m Dr. Anna Urbaniak, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Mindfully Balanced NJ, where I specialize in helping adults find calm, clarity, and confidence while overcoming OCD, PTSD, anxiety, and stress-related issues. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I integrate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy to guide clients toward lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding the “why” behind symptoms — not just treating them. Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, trauma, or constant self-doubt, therapy with me is about helping you regain control, reconnect with your values, and live more freely. I offer telehealth sessions in English and Polish, and work as an out-of-network provider to ensure personalized care without insurance restrictions. Let’s take the next mindful step together.

My approach is paced collaboratively, honoring where are you currently while supporting you to take steps when you are ready. I focus on building a sense of safety while continuing to work in the direction of your goals. My approach includes research-based strategies to help you understand and modify your narrative, as well as grieve what has been lost throughout life.

Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.

VHA- and Stanford-trained psychologist specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges for individuals, couples, veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals.

All of us come to a fork in the road in life, perhaps many times. You may feel there is no hope. You may feel alone and misunderstood. Maybe you have traveled this path before. You wonder if it is just you that has these problems. Whatever brings you here I am so glad you did not give up. I have been on this path and survived and thrived as a person and professional. I am dedicated to meeting you where you are at with a firm believer one size does not fit all. Together we will discover how to make life more manageable in line with your values and goals and create the support system that works best for you.

Milwaukee is one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States, and the mental health effects of systemic inequality, concentrated poverty, and community violence disproportionately affect its Black residents — driving demand for culturally affirming and trauma-informed therapists. The city has a strong Polish, German, and working-class heritage in many of its neighborhoods, and therapists frequently address intergenerational family dynamics, addiction, and depression tied to economic stress. Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin provide major institutional mental health resources alongside community-based providers. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago means some residents also access care in the broader metro corridor.
