Anxiety Therapy for Women
Milwaukee, WI | Online Across Wisconsin & Colorado
Helping you move from holding it all together to feeling calm, confident, and more like you.
Amanda Metropolus, LPC, ATR, founder of Fresh Therapy LLC, helps women reconnect with themselves after years of putting everyone else first—whether they're navigating anxiety, motherhood, or perimenopause.
LET’S BE HONEST:
You make it look easy—but it’s taking everything you’ve got.
You wake up already tired—your mind buzzing, your heart racing before you even get out of bed.
From down the hall, your toddler’s calling for you while your brain runs the list: get breakfast on the table, pack lunches, find the missing shoe, sign the school form. You’re slapping together sandwiches, filling water bottles, trying to get out the door—and before you know it, you’re yelling again. Then comes the guilt.
Or maybe your morning starts with a lukewarm cup of coffee and a wall of emails. What do you even focus on first? The notifications never stop—Slack, Teams, texts, meetings that could’ve been emails. Everyone needs something from you, all at once.
You keep it together because that’s what you do. You’re the one people count on—at work, at home, everywhere. But lately, it’s getting harder to hold it all. You snap, then feel awful. You lie awake replaying the day, wondering why you can’t just handle things better.
You love your family, your career, your life—but you miss yourself.
After years of putting everyone else first, you aren't even sure what you need anymore.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
Let's build a life that actually works for you.
hi, I’m Amanda.
I offer a calm, creative space to slow the rush and reconnect to yourself.
You've been running on empty for too long. You deserve a space that's just for you. As a mom of two, therapist, and business owner, I know how easy it is to lose yourself while taking care of everyone else. If you've made it this far down the page, you're probably looking for more than relief. You're looking for space to reconnect with yourself.
In our work together, I'll help you make sense of the whirlwind you're in and find your footing so you can move forward with intention. Not steering from the background, but fully present, with both hands on the wheel.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, I help women make sense of the anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt that often show up when life changes. Together, we'll recognize what's no longer working, hear what your anxiety is trying to tell you, and discover what you need now.
It's okay to make space for yourself, too.
Here’s how I can help:
-
Your mind won't slow down. You're constantly overthinking, carrying the weight of everything, and wondering why you can't just relax.
Together, we'll slow down, understand what your anxiety is trying to tell you, and help you reconnect with yourself so you can move through life with greater confidence and calm.
-
Motherhood changes you. Somewhere between caring for everyone else and trying to keep up with it all, it's easy to lose sight of yourself.
Together, we'll untangle the anxiety, overwhelm, and pressure to do it all so you can reconnect with yourself and become the parent—and person—you want to be.
-
Perimenopause can leave you wondering what happened to the version of yourself who used to handle it all. The anxiety, brain fog, and emotional ups and downs can make you question yourself in ways you never expected.
Together, we'll make sense of what's changing, understand what you need now, and help you navigate this season with greater confidence and self-trust.
-
Sometimes words aren't enough. Art therapy offers another way to slow down, process what you're experiencing, and reconnect with yourself—no artistic experience required.
Whether we're using color, imagery, or simple creative exercises, art can help you uncover insights that are difficult to reach through words alone.

Yes. I work with professional women and moms in the Milwaukee area and offer in-person sessions in Wauwatosa, as well as virtual therapy throughout Wisconsin and Colorado.
This makes it easier to get support without completely rearranging your schedule—especially if you’re already feeling overwhelmed and need something that fits into your life.
-
You don’t need to come in with the right words or a clear explanation of what’s going on—we’ll figure that out together.
Sessions are a space for you to slow down and begin to understand what your body is experiencing when it comes to anxiety.
We might start by noticing what you feel in your body, or use simple art-based exercises—like mapping where you hold anxiety—to help you build awareness in a way that goes beyond just talking.
From there, we’ll work on developing tools and practices you can use between sessions, so you feel more grounded and better able to move through anxiety in your daily life.
-
I use a combination of talk therapy and art-based approaches.
From talk therapy, I often draw from CBT to explore thought patterns, along with DBT techniques that help you connect with what you’re feeling—both emotionally and in your body.
Rather than only talking through what’s going on, we also focus on understanding how anxiety shows up in your body, using simple creative exercises to build awareness and connection.
This can be especially helpful if traditional talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough.
-
Not at all. You don’t need any art experience to benefit from this work.
Art therapy offers a more creative, flexible way to explore what you’re feeling and thinking—especially when it’s hard to put things into words.
As a creative therapist, I use a variety of approaches to help you see things from a new perspective and work through what might feel stuck.
This might include simple art-based exercises or incorporating other creative outlets you enjoy, like music, cooking, or hands-on activities.
I’ll guide you through the process, and you always get to choose what feels comfortable.
