About me
I’m a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with 16 years of experience working with teens and young people and 10 years providing professional counseling. My background includes outpatient counseling, crisis intervention, group work, and residential treatment. I use evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and crisis intervention. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, respecting the identities, backgrounds, and experiences that make you who you are.
But enough about the professional stuff—therapy is about you.
Being a teenager can be a lot. School, friendships, family, relationships, your future, and figuring out who you are can feel overwhelming—especially when it seems like the adults around you don't always understand. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, stress, trauma, relationship problems, substance use, life changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed without knowing exactly why. You don't need to have it all figured out before coming to therapy.
I believe teens are often misunderstood. Sometimes adults focus on what you're doing without taking the time to understand what you're feeling, what you've experienced, or what's happening underneath it.
Therapy can be a neutral space where you can talk about what's actually going on without feeling judged, lectured, or pressured to say the “right” thing. You can be yourself here—even if you're still figuring out who that is.
My style is supportive, open, and practical. We might work on managing overwhelming emotions, anxiety, confidence, relationships, communication, or those thoughts that just won't shut off. Together, we'll find skills and strategies that actually make sense for you.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My job isn't to tell you who to be or make decisions for you. I'm here to listen, help you better understand yourself, teach you useful skills, challenge you when it might help, and support you in working toward what matters to you.
Starting therapy can feel awkward or intimidating, especially if you've never done it before. You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to start, I will support and lead you. I look forward to meeting you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tiffany Wilhelm. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I been working with Tiffany for a few months now. It first started with relationship and anger management and addiction. Now she is helping me cope with another issue that we didn’t even start with. She is an active listener and doesn’t judge. She helps you see things in a different light. Would recommend to anyone that thinks logically and rationally.
Tiffany is a compassionate yet grounded therapist who has helped me through many difficult times. She’s given me mental tools to work through challenges and checks in regularly to make sure I’m doing okay. I highly recommend her and couldn’t be happier with her professionalism and expertise.
I met Tiffany at my lowest in life, 6 months later I’m finally living the life I want. From day I she made me feel heard and with her help I have improved in all aspects of my life.
Tiffany has a wonderful gift for listening without judgment. In a safe, comfortable environment, she helped my husband and me see things from each other's perspectives. By breaking down how we uniquely express ourselves, we’ve shifted from tearing our relationship down to actively building a deeper connection.
Felt very heard with in the first appointment.
Despite completely info dumping on Tiffany, she is very good at asking me questions to gather more information about me and really seems to understand and care about my situation, as well as look at it objectively
We have been seeing Tiffany for only a few weeks and things have gotten so much better! We really appreciate her and her knowledge!
She’s been amazing in keeping in touch and helping me work on me !
Tiffany is wonderful. She does a great job listening to the needs of her clients. Very fortunate to have her!
Phenomenal therapist
Tiffany made my first session so easy and was so kind. I look forward to working with her more to better myself.
Ive been seeing Tiffany since May of 2023 she's a great therapist and really cares about me and I know she wants what's best for me . She is a great support and she's helped me through some really rough times . I don't know what I would of done without her support .
Tiffany was patient and understanding.
Tiffany is exactly what my wife and I were looking for in a therapist.
Tiffany is great and very flexible. I really appreciate that she hears up both during marriage counseling and can stay neutral while giving us better way to work on our marriage. She has been excellent to work with knowing when to keep a topic going or when we need to shift focus to something else. I've also seen her personally and she's allowed me the space to work though my own problems without making me feel she was on either side.
Tiffany is a very helpful person. I'm happy to have her. Even if I don't respond she reaches out. It's really nice.
Tiffany is very responsive with all communication. She gave us good insight without forcing either persons views or agenda and improved communication in the relationship.
She's given me a lot of help on this short period of time. I already feel so much better. The worksheets she's given me have also been very helpful. Her responses and questions are always helpful.
I have been working with Tiffany Wilhelm for a while now. She is an amazingly talented therapist. She is knowledgeable, kind, wise and has really helped me. She stays completely focused on the client, listens carefully and 'gets' things. I highly recommend her
Tiffany's got a gentle touch, yet a guiding hand to her style, and there is a good balance between how she gives feedback, and allows the space to voice the topics and needs to be gone over.
Tiffany understands me more than I understand myself. She has helped me grow and become more mentally strong. I am thankful for her time and commitment to helping me get my mental health in a more positive light.
Tiffany is amazing. I dont know how to word it but she is easy to click with. I never feel uncomfortable. She is very reassuring and helpful
Tiffany has been incredibly thoughtful, caring, and helpful throughout the entire process. Her check-ins remind us this is a process and every day we have to put in a little work to get where we want to be.
Tiffany is kind and reliable. She supports me and gave me hope in becoming a better person. She was just like a bestfriend and I could talk to her about anything, she always made sure I was comfortable. I am so grateful that I got her as my therapist.
Super easy to talk to, very nice, and so so helpful! So glad I was matched to her
She is very helpful
I chose to subscribe to teen counseling because I need to see a therapist and did not want to wait 8 to 12 weeks which was the typical wait time to see a therapist locally. I was matched with Tiffany. I believe it is a great match. She has helped me work through feelings of mine and has chosen a specific type of therapy to help me manage my emotions. I’m confident in her abilities to help me through a thought time and to learn skills to help me.
I’ve only had so much time since I just started but she is wonderful! I feel very comfortable talking to her about anything. She is very easy to talk to. I don’t really think of her as my therapist but more so an add on of support or as a friend. Our conversations are very natural and I’ve only had 2 session so far and I’m already feeling better. She always checks in and sends me helpful things to keep me motivated. I highly recommend her as a therapist if you are looking for one. :)
