Jake Winkler, Intern

Each of us is on our own path, learning at our own pace and in our own sequence. When we say therapy is non-judgmental, it’s because change is just lessons you haven’t learned yet. And there is no “correct” set of lessons–you decide which things you want to change. Therapy offers a travel companion, not a guide, because the path is never the same. Therapy can provide a second opinion, an informed perspective, and useful questions that reveal the answers, healing, and power you already have. Therapy is a collaborative alliance where we work on the things you want to work on.

I am a graduate student intern pursuing a Masters in Social Work and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker certificate at University of Kentucky. I use strengths-based and person-in-environment approaches. I’m interning under Alex Einsman. I’ve spent over 15 years in Madison in IT, consulting, and non-profit administration. My experiences in punk, counterculture, and non-conforming communities has taught me that many of our struggles are because the norms available to us don’t work for us. My experience as a performer and with table-top games has shown me the power of exploring possibilities. While it’s safer to be something that already is accepted, it’s more freeing to be what you want to be.

Jake has immediate openings available for office or virtual visits at a reduced rate.  Please contact Alex Einsman at alex@harmonia-madison.com if you are interested in scheduling a session with Jake.
