Jennifer Wickham

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, trauma and related challenges. She supports people facing relationship strain, questions about identity, mood concerns such as depression or bipolar, and those coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disaster. Jennifer writes simply and listens. She aims to help people feel understood and take practical steps forward.

Jennifer trained at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, earning a master’s degree in mental health counseling, and has additional coursework through the University of Wisconsin Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. She has worked in inpatient residential treatment for adolescents and in community mental health settings. She also consults with the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH).

Her way of working blends several approaches. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when trauma, emotional regulation, or distressing memories are central concerns.

Sessions focus on the person, not a diagnosis. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Jennifer encourages small, intentional steps and practices such as mindfulness and reflective exercises. She aims to leave people feeling supported and able to try concrete changes between meetings.

Outside the office she is a parent, trains for road and trail relay races, does yoga, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafts. She brings those life interests into her work and models steady progress toward meaningful goals.
