Therapy for Alverno students.
Alverno College sits in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Telehealth means you can keep your therapist when you go home for break, when you transfer, when you graduate and move across the state for the first real job. The free 15 minutes consult tells you whether we are a fit before you commit to anything.
Private universities run different pressures than the publics. At Alverno, the cost is a real factor; the financial weight sits in the background of every academic decision in a way that affects mood, sleep, and choices about future. Smaller class sizes mean more visibility from faculty and from peers, which cuts both ways.
I work with students at private universities across Wisconsin by telehealth. The sessions are private, the conversation is yours, and nothing routes back to the school. If the university counseling center has put you on a waitlist or capped you at a few sessions, an outside therapist is a reasonable next step.
What students typically bring.
- The weight of cost. Financial guilt around money the family spends, money loaned, the implicit promise of payback.
- Professional-program intensity in engineering, nursing, business. The grind of competitive cohorts.
- Identity work that does not fit cleanly into the school's stated tradition or expectations.
- Relationship issues in a small, observable community where everyone knows everyone else's situation.
- The pre-graduation question of what comes next and whether the chosen path was actually the right one.
How the work fits a college schedule.
Telehealth sessions are 50 minutes. Most students start weekly or every other week and adjust from there. You can sit in your dorm, your apartment, or the quiet corner of a library study room with headphones; the only requirement is somewhere you will not be interrupted for an hour. Sessions hold over breaks and over the summer if you want them to.
Free 15 minutes consult comes first. We talk about what brings you in and whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I tell you that, and where to look. No pressure to commit on that call.
Insurance and cost.
I accept BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance plans including those carried by student health plans. If you are on a parent's plan from outside Wisconsin, telehealth from a Wisconsin therapist may or may not be covered; we can check together on the consult call. Out-of-pocket session fee is $125 with sliding-scale consideration for students who need it.
Around Milwaukee more broadly.
If you live off-campus in Milwaukee or in the towns around it, the same telehealth applies. The Milwaukee therapy page lists the topics I cover for clients across the city, not just students.
