For referring professionals in Madison, WI
Trauma-informed care for the clients you most want to send to a specialist.
Blooming Haven Counseling is a private-pay trauma therapy practice serving women across Wisconsin. I work specifically with survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and trafficking, including clients who do not yet identify with those terms or who are still in the process of naming what happened to them.
If you are a clinician, attorney, advocate, medical provider, or other professional considering a referral, this page covers what you need to know to make the right call for your client.
Clinical approach
The practice is grounded in EMDR therapy and trauma-focused approaches, with a strong emphasis on phased treatment. Stabilization and resourcing in the early sessions, EMDR reprocessing as the client’s system is ready, and integration work throughout. The pacing is conservative and the work is structured to keep the client in their window of tolerance.
I am EMDR-trained and currently working toward full certification through EMDRIA. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). The work draws on attachment-informed and somatic frameworks alongside the EMDR protocol.
All sessions are virtual, conducted on a HIPAA-compliant video platform, with clients located anywhere in Wisconsin. Sessions are fifty or seventy-five minutes, typically weekly. EMDR intensives are available for clients whose schedules or clinical needs are better served by a longer-format approach.
Populations Served
Who this practice is the right fit for.Adult women, and adolescents (ages 13 and up), with histories of one or more of the following:
⟡ Sexual assault, including recent assault, historical assault, and assault by a known person
⟡ Intimate partner violence, including physical, sexual, emotional, and coercive control
⟡ Childhood abuse, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and exposure to family violence
⟡ Trafficking, including labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and complex coercive situations that may not have been formally identified as trafficking
⟡ Complex trauma involving categories of the above
Who This Practice is Not The Right Fit For.
Some referrals are better served by a different provider or level of care. I do not currently work with:
⟡ Clients who require active inpatient or residential care
⟡ Clients in active substance use crisis without concurrent stabilization treatment in place
⟡ Clients whose primary clinical need is psychiatric medication management (no prescribing in this practice)
⟡ Clients seeking forensic evaluations, custody evaluations, or expert witness services
If you are unsure whether a client is a fit, please reach out. I would rather have a brief conversation than have you guess.
What Your Client Can Expect
The handoff from referral to first session is designed to be as low-friction as possible. I know that the clients you are referring have often already had to tell their story too many times to too many people, and that the act of starting therapy can feel like more than they have in them.
Here is what your client will experience after you give them my information:-
1.
They reach out by email or by booking a free fifteen-minute discovery call directly.
-
2.
On the discovery call, they are not required to disclose specifics of what happened. We talk about what is going on in general terms and whether the work feels like a fit.
-
3.
If they decide to move forward, intake paperwork is brief and trauma-informed. No detailed trauma history is required at intake.
-
4.
The first three or four sessions focus on relationship, stabilization, and assessment, not trauma processing.
-
5.
EMDR work begins when the client and I agree they are ready, which may be in week four or week fourteen depending on the case.
Clients are not asked to retell what happened in detail at any point in the work. EMDR allows trauma processing without verbal narration of the events.
Legal & Forensic Involvement
I do not provide forensic evaluations, custody evaluations, or expert witness testimony as part of standard therapy. I am familiar with the demands legal proceedings place on survivors and can coordinate with a client’s attorney on scheduling, treatment pacing, and the intersection of disclosure with active legal cases.
If your client is in active proceedings (criminal, civil, family court, asylum, immigration relief), I can structure the therapy to support their stability through the process without compromising the case. If a different kind of clinical involvement is needed (forensic interviewing, court-ordered evaluation, a letter of treatment), please refer to a provider who specifically holds that role.
Rates and Insurance
Blooming Haven is a private-pay practice. Current rates:
⟡ Quick Check-in (25 minutes): $100
⟡ Individual therapy session (50 minutes): $200
⟡ Initial therapy session (75 minutes): $300
⟡ EMDR intensive (multi-hour format): See the EMDR Intensives page for package details
I provide superbills for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance. Many insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits that cover a portion of session fees, though the specifics vary by plan. Clients can check with their insurer directly using the standard out-of-network reimbursement questions.
For clients with significant cost concerns, I am happy to discuss whether a sliding-scale slot is available or whether another referral would be a better fit financially.
How To Refer
Three paths, depending on what works for your case.
i.
Send your client to the website
The simplest referral. Give your client the URL of the relevant specialty page (Therapy After Sexual Assault, Therapy After Domestic Violence, Therapy for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse, or Therapy for Survivors of Trafficking) or the homepage.
They can read at their own pace and reach out when they are ready. The pages are written specifically for the populations they describe and do not require the client to identify with any clinical or legal label before reaching out.
ii.
Send the client directly to the discovery call link
If your client is ready to talk, you can give them the direct booking link for the free fifteen-minute discovery call. They schedule themselves at a time that works for them, with no requirement to disclose specifics in advance.
iii.
Email me about the case
For cases with clinical, legal, or safety considerations that you would like to discuss before making the referral, please email me directly at jada@bloominghavencounseling.com. I respond to professional inquiries within two business days. There is no charge for these consultations, and they are particularly useful when the case involves active legal proceedings, ongoing safety concerns, or questions about whether the practice is the right fit.
