Welcome. We're glad you're here.
A lot of people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to start. That's okay. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. We'll help you make sense of what's going on and find practical next steps that fit your life.
Capital City Psychology is a neuro-affirming mental health practice in Madison, Wisconsin. Our therapists work with teens, college students, young adults, and parents, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, autism, stress, and executive function. We also bring years of experience working inside schools, so we understand the pressures students and families deal with.
How therapy can help
We work with clients to:
Manage anxiety and stress at school, at work, and at home
Understand how your brain works, including ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent strengths and challenges
Build executive function skills like organization, planning, and time management
Set realistic goals and make plans that actually stick
Grow self-understanding, self-acceptance, and confidence
Understand school systems and advocate for what you need
Feel more confident parenting a child, teen, or young adult
What it's like to work with us
Starting therapy is a big step, and it's normal to wonder whether someone will really understand what you're dealing with. We listen first. Then we work together to understand what's happening and try strategies that make everyday life feel more manageable.
Our work is grounded in research, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and what we know about how people grow and learn. We don't see neurodivergence as something to fix. We help you understand yourself better and find approaches that work with your brain.

Not sure therapy is the right fit yet?
Dr. Liz also runs Empowered Focus, a separate education business offering workshops and group coaching on executive function. Topics include:
Understanding executive function challenges in your child or yourself
Helping your teen or young adult prepare for independence
Feeling more confident supporting a neurodivergent child
Many parents find a workshop is a helpful first step. Workshops are educational and aren’t a replacement for therapy. If you’re not sure which fits, we can talk it through during your free consultation.
