Therapists in Madison, WI

Greetings! Sometimes we benefit from a non-biased, affirming source of support to open new pathways to pleasure and fulfillment - both of which we are all inherently deserving of. I invite clients to come as their authentic selves, explore the nuance of “what is,” and challenge narratives they may be ready to shed. As a systemic therapist, I believe all systems we exist within impact us. Clients can expect to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as experiences informed by family, partnership, community, work, and broader social systems.

My down to earth, compassionate and honest nature will make you feel supported and comfortable in the therapeutic process. I convey an empathic approach and gentle sense of humor as I create a safe space that allows clients to develop their authentic self. I bring a playful spirit to my work which is complimented by training and numerous years of experience. I am passionate about helping adults, children and families heal from past trauma and find success in building healthy relationships.

I work with patients to address Depression, Anxiety, OCD as well as trauma sequelae which are manifest by depressed or anxious mood, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, insomnia, substance misuse, and interpersonal problems. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)(ERP), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) and relevant clinical adaptations to address mood or anxiety disorders, co-occurring substance use disorders and/or trauma recovery as well as singular diagnoses. I have significant clinical experience in addressing deep, psychological wounds often referred to as "moral injury”.

Specialty practice around anxiety symptoms, including those associated with trauma/abuse. Everyone needs support, and sometimes we decide we need the compassionate support of a professional psychotherapist. In this safe, therapeutic, environment, I will help you to gently address challenging issues and gain insights to improve the overall quality of your life. You will be supported in connecting to your strengths, while exploring and practicing more effective and healthy ways of living. (Please contact me directly at my email address. I don’t currently work with insurance, but have a sliding scale which starts at $80 per session.)

Individual therapy can help you reduce painful emotions, learn to recognize and change unhealthy behaviors, and improve your relationships. My name is Jaime Voss and I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Fortitude Psychology, LLC in Madison, WI. I provide psychotherapy services to individuals who are ready to make significant changes in their lives. I believe people are incredibly resilient in the face of adversity. My goal is to help you grow and thrive as you create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

My clients are individuals and relationships that are curious about what a different and more fulfilling future might look like.

Currently accepting new virtual clients! We all encounter challenges and setbacks in life. Therapy can support you in overcoming them while co-creating a life that you love. I approach therapy through a wellness lens to help you flourish, which means that instead of focusing solely on what's wrong, we pay attention to your strengths and ways that you can feel your best. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that healing happens within the context of felt safety and connection so I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can show up as your whole and unique self. It is an honor to be there as a witness and guide.

Often times throughout life we find ourselves feeling disconnected. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, untethered and lost without any sense of direction. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients as they navigate and discover the path to their most authentic self. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable in exploring their past, rewriting personal narratives, and forging an understanding of self that enables living presently. Together we'll discover your strengths, while exploring areas that crave nurturing and healing.

“Sensitivity isn't being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” This is a quote from a favorite musician of mine, Jeff Buckley. I see sensitivity as a strength, not a deficit. As a therapist, I work hard to help my clients understand that oftentimes the parts of themselves that they view as weak are really their greatest strengths. The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are very important. They are the lens through which we view everything- they color our world. The problem is that a lot of the time the narratives we have about ourselves are simply not true.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals, families and couples, struggling with past trauma, infidelity, trust, affected family members, suicidality, preparation of commitment, and next-step family planning.

"What brings you to therapy?" is a classic first question from therapists during an initial meeting. And while we as people share many commonalities, each person has their unique personal story, and we want our concerns to be addressed with respect, insight and understanding, and inviolate trust. I am guessing that you have questions you want answered about yourself, your relationships, your situation, and your history and the patterns of your life . And, you want relief, insight, and clarification of the choices and potential outcomes you face, with effective tools, skills, and strategies to make positive changes in your life.

I help women and college students who identify as emotionally sensitive. You may struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, losing yourself in others, setting boundaries, or trauma. This heightened compassion is your super power! It is the source of your creativity, your passion, and your intuition! But in our culture, it can often be met with criticism leading us to feel as though we don’t belong. We learn to push away our emotions to gain acceptance only to feel more isolated. My clients want to step out of conditioning based in shame, patriarchy, and trauma and learn to trust their gifts, emotions, and intuition!

Life can be really hard and oftentimes we need additional support. I love working with individuals through life's transitions and challenges. A belief and dedication to growth, resilience, and well-being, I prioritize trauma-informed care and social justice in my practice. I emphasize authenticity and genuine connections by integrating empathy, creativity, and humor into sessions using Gestalt Therapy. Whether guiding teens or adults through various life’s transitions or focusing on improving a client’s mental well-being, my approach remains culturally conscious and sensitive to individual experiences in the broader societal context
