Immediate Dean/Quartz openings for 2026. Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating a major transition, healing from painful experiences, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling worn down by everyday stress. If you’re longing to feel more grounded, understood, and like yourself again, individual therapy can be a powerful place to begin. I offer a supportive space where you can speak freely and honestly about what you’re carrying—without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been hurting or confusing, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
In individual therapy (not couples counseling), my focus is on helping you become more attuned to your own emotions and find healthy, grounded ways to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs. I see every client as truly unique, and I’ll take the time to understand your strengths, values, and interests so our work together feels personal and meaningful.
My office is conveniently located within walking distance to the State Capitol and UW- Madison campus. When scheduling, please provide name of insurance. Availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 9:00 - 4:00. Schedule flexibility varies.
Take the first step to help. Call or Abbey Scherer now - (608) 588-8470

I regularly integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my work. When we first meet, we'll uncover what led you to seek support and map out a plan that fits your needs. CBT helps us understand how our thinking patterns influence how we feel. Throughout treatment, I'll help you build tools to challenge those patterns so you can create real, positive shifts in your emotional wellbeing.
