Bintou Schoen, MD
My name is Bintou Schoen and I am a board certified general adult psychiatrist. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, psychosis, social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship problems, etc. I received my undergraduate degree in Microbiology from the University of Georgia. I then attended the Medical College of Georgia where I obtained my medical degree. After that, I received my psychiatric training at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida. I perform psychiatric evaluations and formulate treatment plans with input from my patients - no single approach is right for every individual. I very much like a positive and practical approach to mental health treatment including medication management and therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self care. I like a person centered approach meaning finding solutions that work for you based on your values and priorities.
Tralee Johnson, LMFT
Waking up in the morning doesn't have to be exhausting. I can show you how to feel more joy and satisfaction in your life by learning skills in: assertiveness, communication, decision-making, self-confidence, relationships, and how to reduce any anxiety or depression. Since 1991, I've successfully helped people enjoy their lives more. I accept insurance.
Jenna Overbaugh
I love working with people who are ready to learn and put in the work. Going through treatment for OCD, anxiety, or a related condition is definitely tough - but so is leaving these difficulties untreated. I want to help you gain your life back from OCD, anxiety, and worry, and realize how strong you truly are. There's so much freedom on the other side of fear, and it takes a lot of courage to get there. But I can help you realize all the tricks that OCD and anxiety play on you so you can KNOW better to DO better. I'm on your team now! We're in this together.

Everyone has a story, and I believe good mental health care starts by truly listening to it. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach each patient as a unique individual with their own experiences, strengths, and goals.

Christy Vachavake
Hello! My name is Christy Vachavake and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here in Wisconsin. I work with adults in individual psychotherapy, and offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I take a whole-person approach, considering how biological, psychological, and social factors all influence who we are and how we cope with life’s challenges. I bring a broad range of professional and life experience into my work, which allows me to approach therapy with steadiness and perspective. Before and throughout my work in mental health, I’ve supported people through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. That background has shaped a calm, steady approach to therapy and allows me to sit comfortably with difficult emotions, complex situations, and topics that can feel hard to name. In our work together, we focus primarily on the present — how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are showing up in your day-to-day life right now. While past experiences are important and may be explored, we focus on them mainly when they help us better understand what you’re dealing with today. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself so you can move through life with more confidence and balance. Our first session is primarily a space for us to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and what you want from the therapeutic process. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences and expectations, and you’ll have the opportunity to get a sense of my style and how I approach therapy. This initial session is not a full picture of what ongoing therapy feels like, but rather a foundation — my goal is for you to leave with a clearer sense of direction and whether working together feels like a good fit moving forward.
Zach Rehbein-Jones
I am a psychotherapist based in the Milwaukee area with extensive personal and professional experience in addiction and dual diagnosis treatment. I bring over 7 years of recovery experience into my practice and incorporate it when appropriate. I believe you already hold the answers to your challenges — my role is to help you uncover them, embrace them, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. Together, we’ll explore your goals, clarify your priorities, and develop a personalized plan that fits your journey. You’re the expert on your life, and I’m here to guide and support you with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity.

carissa weber
My name is Carissa Weber. I am an outdoor enthusiast dedicated to helping others return to enjoying their own lives. As a therapist, I use a blend of treatment modalities, neuroscience, and sarcasm to help clients build on their strengths to rediscover who they are. When we work together, you will have a safe place to share your experience in a judgment-free zone. Rather than "jump to conclusions'' and make uncomfortable treatment recommendations to you after the first session, I will take time to get to know who you are, understand what you are facing, and help you explore ways to relieve your anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. I’ve worked to create the kind of non-judgmental therapy space where I’d want to find myself as a client—where one can ugly cry & make dark-humored jokes within the same session.
Raquel Perez

My approach blends practical skill-building with genuine connection, creating a space where you grow.

Life Transitions NYC
“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it (or rather the first time it smacked me in the face, oh, so many years ago). It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of 'what do you want to be when you grow up'? How in the world do we answer that? If the question moves you like it does me then we're probably a good fit. Let's talk about the complexities of making life choices and finding fulfillment.

Kaite Olund
My name is Kaite (they/them), and I am a queer, neurodivergent, nonbinary therapist. I specialize in working with other queer and neurodiverse individuals to heal from trauma, manage depression and anxiety, and find ways to thrive in a world that was not designed with you in mind. I help by utilizing a variety of approaches in my practice, working with you to find strategies and techniques that align with your goals. I am trained in EMDR and CPT, but I also use DBT, MBCBT, ACT, IFS, somatic techniques, and artistic expression as modalities to help you reprocess and heal from trauma. In our first few sessions, you can expect a therapeutic space that is empowering, sensitive to your needs, and based on collaboration rather than looking at you as a problem to be fixed. My practice is unique because I approach healing from a holistic framework that takes all of your identities, experiences, and goals in mind rather than choosing a one size fits all approach. I am passionate about this work because I also know what it’s like to struggle after experiencing trauma, especially when trying to navigate complex medical systems where other providers do not look or experience the world like you do. I firmly stand with all marginalized groups and actively work within an antiracist, feminist, neurodiverse, and gender-affirming lens. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your continued journey towards mental wellbeing!
