Meet our therapists
Jesse Heer (He/Him), LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My clinical interests include working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, grief, and suicidal thoughts.
I believe everybody can benefit from going to therapy and it is a gift we give ourselves. As a social worker, I utilize a person-centered therapy approach to empower clients to make meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives. Person-centered therapy is an empathetic and non-judgmental approach to counseling.
In my work with clients, I utilize methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment, and Solution Focused Therapy to help clients refine and develop coping skills for life stressors while also providing trauma informed care.
Karma Tsedon (She/Her), LCSW
Karma is a dynamic psychotherapist who brings a rich cultural background and a diverse range of expertise to our team. Born and raised in a Tibetan Refugee camp in Nepal, Karma’s personal journey as a first-generation immigrant heavily influenced her dedication to mental health and her commitment to becoming a clinician.
Karma obtained her Master’s in Social Work from UW-Madison. Over the past four years, she has built an impressive professional portfolio, working across a multitude of behavioral health settings. These experiences range from primary care and group homes to intensive outpatient programs, inpatient hospitalizations, community care coordination and services, and correctional environments.
Not only does Karma possess the practical knowledge and hands-on experience necessary for the job, but she also demonstrates a profound understanding of the mind and body connection, affirming that one’s emotional health is inextricably linked to physical well-being. She employs a range of therapeutic modalities, including ACT, Self-compassion, CBT, SFT, Mindfulness, and DBT, customizing her approach to align with each client’s individual needs.
Karma has a specific interest in serving clients aged 10 and above, focusing on a variety of mental health concerns. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, neurodivergent populations, body image concerns, and insomnia.
Off duty, Karma leads an adventurous life. Her love for travel, hiking, and spending time with her dog Peanut, reflects her explorative nature. She also cherishes her Tibetan culture and values the wisdom imparted by figures like His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. Her favorite quote is, “We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”.
Karma is not only bilingual, speaking English and Tibetan, but she also holds certifications in CBT-E and CBT-I, allowing her to serve a diverse range of clients.
