Therapy Services for Trauma, Fertility, Boundaries, and Relationships

At Milwaukee Mental Health and Consulting, we offer online therapy for adults and couples navigating life’s most complex emotional experiences — from trauma and fertility challenges to relationship strain and identity shifts. Whether you're feeling disconnected from yourself, grieving the family you imagined, or stuck in painful patterns with others, we provide a safe, supportive space to explore, process, and heal at your own pace.

Our work is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, collaboration, and deep respect for your lived experience.

We are currently licensed to provide therapy in 9 U.S. states and offer coaching services nationwide.

Individual Therapy

Co-Dependency & Boundaries

You were taught to take care of everyone else first. Now you're ready to choose yourself, without guilt.
We’ll explore how early experiences may have shaped your current relationship patterns—and work toward more empowered, present, and authentic ways of connecting.

Focus areas:

  • Learning to say no and hold boundaries

  • Addressing self-worth wounds and emotional caretaking

  • Healing attachment-related trauma

  • Rebuilding your sense of identity outside of others’ needs

Couples Therapy (Inclusive & Non-Traditional)

Whether you're in a long-term monogamous relationship, exploring open dynamics, or part of a non-traditional partnership—your relationship deserves care, not judgment.

I help couples with:

  • Communication breakdowns and emotional disconnection

  • Navigating infertility, loss, or parenting grief

  • Polyamory, open relationships, or queer partnerships

  • Repairing trust after rupture

  • Planning transitions or navigating separation intentionally

I create a neutral, supportive space where each voice matters—and your relationship goals guide the work.

Specialty Service LCSW Benitez-Zandi: EMDR for Couples

Your story matters—even when the path to parenthood doesn’t go as planned. I offer support for individuals and couples facing infertility, IVF cycles, perinatal loss, medical trauma, and the grief that comes with unmet expectations.

My approach is informed by specialized training in fertility mental health and grief/loss processing. Whether you’re in the midst of treatment or years into healing, you’re welcome here.

Topics we might explore:

  • Navigating medical decisions and uncertainty

  • Coping with grief, loss, and isolation

  • Partner communication during fertility treatment

  • Processing identity shifts around family and body
