Meet Your Trauma Therapist in Madison, Wisconsin

Oh, hey there!

It’s me, Jada LaBounty

If you’re here, you might be carrying something heavy — maybe invisible to others. You may feel on edge, shut down when things get close, or wonder why it’s so hard to just be okay. Maybe you’ve endured something no one should — and you’re tired of it controlling your life.

You want to feel safe in your body again. To breathe deeply, trust yourself, and stop flinching at connection.

I’m Jada, a Licensed Professional Counselor-In-Training (LPC-IT), specializing in trauma therapy for survivors of sexual assault and complex trauma. I help people gently reconnect with their bodies, stories, and sense of safety.

My own healing journey brought me here. I know the power of sitting with someone who truly listens without rushing or expecting you to be “fine.” I believe healing happens in spaces of patience, presence, and permission to show up as you are.

Together, we’ll notice the subtle ways trauma still lives in your body—through tension, avoidance, or exhaustion—and honor those parts as they begin to soften.

Outside of sessions, I love playing pickleball, walking outdoors, and crafting with my Cricut or cross-stitch. I’m originally from Vermont but now call Wisconsin home, where I live with my two cats, Nala and Kora.

I Understand What’s Holding You Back

Before starting therapy, many clients share concerns like:

  • Feeling afraid that starting therapy might unravel everything they’ve worked so hard to keep together

  • Worrying that talking about trauma might make things feel more real or overwhelming

  • Feeling like their struggles aren’t “bad enough” to deserve therapy

You’re not alone in these feelings, and therapy can be a safe place to explore them.
