Sarah Heyn
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in Wisconsin. I have over four years of clinical counseling experience working in a community clinic and private Christian counseling office, in addition to two years of graduate internships at UW Hospital and VA Hospital in Madison. I have worked with adults experiencing many distressing symptoms including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, relationship issues, parenting concerns, life transition challenges, ADHD, LGBTQ specific concerns, and alcohol and drug use. I am a respectful, strengths-based, client centered therapist. I strongly believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives. It is my goal to be a guide during a time when they may be overwhelmed with stressors or challenging symptoms. Together we will combine your personal strengths with tools from various therapies (including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy) to create a treatment plan that is specific to your therapy goals. Before successful completion of therapy, you will have a positive action plan in place for responding to future stressors. Because a healthy work and family life balance is important for everyone, I "practice what I preach". I respond to messages left for me on this platform every Monday thru Friday business day until 2 p.m. Many of my clients have found it helpful to send a message in the evening or on Sunday, and I always respond to those messages first thing in the workday morning. I am also available to do live video or phone sessions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m each business day. Finally, because online counseling is still a somewhat newer technology for many people, I want to always be clear and transparent about limitations to the platform. I am unable to write letters for clients to the courts, lawyers, or medical professionals. I can, however, talk with you about ways to advocate for yourself through these systems from the perspective of a therapist. YOU have taken a positive, first step in creating positive change in your life. Together we can take the next steps toward helping your reach your goal. I look forward to working with you!

M Jo Yeske-Bishop
I am licensed in Wisconsin with 27 years of professional work experience. Guided by my belief in the inherent worth of each individual, I focus on helping clients live a more meaningful, satisfying, authentic life by developing a more flexible approach to solving problems or resolving issues. I work with adults as individuals and couples on issues such as personal growth, depression, anxiety/stress, anger management, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, grief/loss, and coping with changes that occur as one journeys through life. I strive to provide an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and processed without fear of judgment. When working with clients, I use an eclectic approach. Eclectic therapy is a very versatile psychotherapy that draws from multiple evidence-based therapy approaches in order to select the best treatment for each individual client. Instead of being stuck in one therapy modality, the therapist and client can switch between multiple approaches as appropriate. Some advantages of Eclectic therapy include: • The therapy is adapted to the client rather than the client having to fit into a set model • It is useful for multiple and complex problems • The techniques used are research-based and shown to be effective My availability varies. Although I have made Wednesday afternoons available, I am semi-retired and can schedule for other times, if needed. Please contact me via messages should you want to schedule a time other than Wednesday afternoons. I plan to check messages twice each day: once around noon and again in early evening. Signing up for therapy can take courage. I know because I’ve done it! Congratulations for taking this first step! I look forward to working with you.
