Welcome,

I’m Jessica Shaw — therapist, photographer, single mom of three, dog lover, cat lover (depending on the day), and the founder of Modern Wellness.

I created Modern Wellness to provide a space where people feel emotionally safe, understood, and genuinely supported through healing, growth, and self-expression. As a Wisconsin Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide compassionate virtual therapy for teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, addiction, burnout, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and Polyvagal Theory. I believe therapy should feel human — not cold or clinical. Sessions focus on building emotional safety, practical coping skills, self-awareness, healthier communication, and lasting change at a pace that feels manageable and realistic.

I especially enjoy working with high-functioning individuals who appear to be holding everything together on the outside while quietly struggling underneath. Whether you are dealing with chronic stress, panic, grief, family conflict, identity concerns, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

In addition to counseling, I also offer photography services focused on seniors, athletes, and families throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Photography allows me to capture resilience, confidence, connection, and the meaningful moments that tell a story beyond words.

At the heart of everything I do is one simple belief:

You deserve to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re seeking online therapy in Wisconsin, support through a difficult season of life, or meaningful photography that captures who you are, I’m honored to be part of your journey.
