Family Therapy in 53705

Life presents many challenges and changes. I have been providing mental health services to children, teens, adults and families for many years. My goal is to listen and assist clients in making changes that will increase their ability to live and enjoy life. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of children, teens and adults. I enjoy the variety of ages and issues clients present.

Brittany worked with patients, family members who are dealing with end of life care plans and goals, struggling and/or in crisis during their stay at the center, transition into adulthood, depression, imposter syndrome.

As a therapist, my approach is eclectic, informed by psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral practices. I view each client's life as a constantly shifting ecosystem, and I believe that successful interventions are multifaceted. I strive to cultivate cultural humility in myself, and to help clients understand and re-craft personal narratives according to their values. In addition, I help clients to navigate romantic and family relationships as well as friendships. One of my primary goals as a therapist is to understand the unique and varied challenges of the LGBTQ community; being "LGBTQ friendly" is not enough.

When things feel overwhelming it is sometimes hard to see a path forward. I believe that anyone can make changes in their lives if they want to and are encouraged by a strong sense of hope, which I make every effort to provide. I work collaboratively, in a non-judgmental, client-centered, creative, accepting space. As a family systems therapist, I recognize how much that system influences one's perspectives and sometimes, struggles.

There is so much power in speaking your truth and having a witness, unpacking painful feelings and shame, and understanding yourself and how you relate to others. As a therapist, my goal is to create a space in which my clients feel safe to explore their feelings, understand how the past affects the present, and identify helpful and hurtful patterns and behaviors. I hold inclusivity and cultural humility as core values. I work with my clients to help them identify goals and develop strategies for meeting their goals, emphasizing the importance of empathy for self and others.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change. I work with families and couples who may be questioning their connection to one another, and with individuals who feel stuck, unmotivated, or afraid. As a family therapist, I encourage people to explore how the different systems they are a part of impact the quality of their lives. How does their family function? Their place of work? Their culture? Together we explore how making changes in ourselves impacts our relationships to these different systems. We change our world by changing our relationship to it.

For 35 years, I've been honored to offer my clients an experience that combines expertise, collaboration, and creativity. Whether it is a new problem, an ongoing pattern, or an unexpected life crisis, your therapy is built on a trusting relationship to facilitate lasting change. I help clients have happier, more satisfying relationships, overcome depression and anxiety, manage worries about career, family, and friends. Some learn how to have a productive disagreement, how to show empathy, how to set boundaries, and how to ask for what they need. Others learn to take the steps forward while healing from painful events and trauma.

I am a neurodivergent friendly therapist who specializes in ADHD, life transitions, chronic illness, burnout and internal conflict. I strive to provide an environment that is safe and genuine, with a touch of humor. We all deserve a supportive space to be seen and heard so we can heal and grow. I am currently in the process of acurring hours towards my LCSW and am offering sessions at a discounted rate.

Change can be hard. It can be scary, overwhelming, and can produce fears. It is different than what we know, different than what things are like today. Change happens no matter what; it is the one constant that we all experience.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

LOVE! It is one of those words that either makes you giddy with joy or a little squirmy in your chair. Love is one of the things we long for most in our lives. Whether you struggle with romantic love, family love, agape love or even self-love, I would like to help. I provide therapy options in both Madison and Janesville to help make sure you have an option that is close to home. I aim to provide a warm space to help you feel at ease while you work through the toughest areas of your life.

My name is Dr. Theron Parsons and I am an experienced, licensed clinical social worker who takes a supportive, sex-positive approach in working with individuals and couples seeking to improve intimacy and communication while empowering personal growth. I am a strong advocate and ally in meeting the common and unique needs of the LGBT community and their families.

I have practiced psychotherapy since 1971, with a special interest in the emotional and relationship problems of adults and couples. I work with adults in acute distress as well as those with persisting difficulties that interfere with effective functioning and the full enjoyment of adult life. I ESPECIALLY WORK WITH COUPLES WHO ARE UNHAPPY IN THEIR MARRIAGE. In my view, emotionally committed relationships tend to be A HOTBED FOR REACTIVATION OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS from the past that can produce unexpected misery.

I work with adults in individual and couples therapy to help address the challenges of anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, divorce, and relationship problems.

I offer an authentic and compassionate presence for all of my clients. I am welcoming, and genuinely interested in understanding my clients so that I can support them to find alignment in their life. I view therapy as an aid in your self-exploration and understanding, and prioritize developing a trusting relationship with my clients in order to be most effective in our work together. I provide therapy for young adults, adults, and couples. My specialties include: life transitions, relationship issues, mindfulness, personal identity, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and family dynamics.
