Golden Vibes Counseling Center - Madison, Wisconsin

I have worked with Josh for 4 years and would definitely not be where I am today without him. I have been in and out of therapy for 15 or so years and Josh is by far the best therapist I have ever had. He is funny, thoughtful, kind, and honest. He prods when you need prodding but is also open to any suggestions or feedback you have. Sessions are not lectures but a sort of collaboration, where you are the driver and Josh will offer navigation suggestions, but you ultimately decide where you would like to go.

Cheryl, the therapist I worked with was unhelpful and rude. I did a “group” therapy with her and my biological sister but unfortunately felt she was biased. When we talked individually, I felt heard but once we were together, I could not finish my initial sentence. Ultimately, she made me feel lesser than. Maybe because she felt bad for our traumatic past. After 4 months, we all agreed to stop therapy. The final hour was not used up before she ended the session. Please don’t make anyone feel like this moving forward. I found myself crying due to the things she said.

I also had a difficult time contacting the Golden Vibes office phone. I called atleast 3 times and not once was it picked up. Contacting by email was the fastest way to get a response. Thankfully Taylor, the client care coordinator, was very kind and helpful. She always responded quickly.

I worked with Josh for about a year and a half, and doing so really helped me get to a place where I could move forward with my dissertation and my life. His style made me feel comfortable and supported, and I left sessions feeling better. I also appreciated that the administrative side of Golden Vibes worked smoothly. It was easy to manage appointments and I never had issues with payment or other communications with the office.

They aren’t taking new patients and simply collecting your data. Please post this on your website to be more transparent with potential clients. This comes off scammy. Auto email upon submission: At Golden Vibes, we carefully consider each new client inquiry. However, please note that due to our limited availability, we are only able to accept new clients when there are openings and we can match them with a suitable provider. While we strive to respond to all inquiries promptly, we want to inform you that we will only reach out to you if we have available openings and can match you with an appropriate provider. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Currently working with Josh and it has been an amazingly helpful experience that has offered guidance and very clear progress on the main issues I came with and then some others on the side. There are definitely sessions where more is accomplished but it feels like there's never a session where I feel like I leave with nothing resolved and Josh often circles back to details we spoke about weeks ago when they're relevant.

I feel like you need to find a therapist who works for you specifically and I would highly recommend Golden Vibes as a place to look.

I had a great experience with Laura and Golden Vibes in general. She was really smart and insightful. She was able to provide both insight into why I was dealing with certain issues and also give practical tools for getting through it. I also really appreciated that she was up front when something came up that was outside of her expertise. All in all, she was an amazing therapist.

Every staff member I’ve interacted with has been exceptional. Taylor is prompt and personal at intake and both Elizabeth and Dana are outstanding. I’m treated as a human, not just a case. I’ve never felt more heard and understood. Would recommend to anyone, especially first time therapy-goers. Thank you for all you do, Golden Vibes! My experience has been life changing!

I have been working with Jodie for 1-2 years now and have had such an incredible experience with her. She has helped me work through issues I have been dealing with since childhood. She has always made me feel incredibly comfortable and never judged.
