Jennifer Wickham, LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of ages and family constellations. She has provided direct care for new parents and infants, children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, and she brings experience from both an inpatient residential treatment center for adolescents and a community mental health clinic. She also serves as a consultant for the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH), reflecting her focus on early childhood and family well-being.

Jennifer earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1999 and completed specialized training through the University of Wisconsin Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. Her clinical training includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), and reflective practices that incorporate yoga and meditation. She also integrates approaches such as attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her practice addresses a broad set of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, disaster-related coping, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), divorce and separation, emptiness, and family of origin issues.

Jennifer emphasizes a whole-person approach that centers the individual rather than a diagnosis. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where people from diverse backgrounds can feel supported and encouraged to pursue meaningful, lasting change. Outside of clinical work she is a parent of a teenager and spends time training for RAGNAR road or trail races, practicing yoga, playing the viola, reading, crafting, and continuing professional learning. She views psychotherapy as a collaborative process that draws on a person’s strengths and sometimes reveals new capacities as healing and growth unfold.
