Hi! My name is Bria Servoss (she/her). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) in Madison, WI who hails from the Wisconsin north woods, with much of my adulthood formed in Chicago, IL - singing my way through its bars, music venues & burlesque clubs while working as a hairstylist.

During that time of general mayhem, I traveled, fell in love with the existential writings of Camus, de Beauvoir, & Sartre, and also earned my undergrad degree with honors, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women & Gender Studies. I’ve gained invaluable insights and wisdom from not only my formal education, but also through living a complex, unexpected, adventurous life, speckled with mistakes & triumphs.

Eventually, I had a baby and moved back to Wisconsin, where I studied poetry and eventually attended grad school at UW-Whitewater to get my counseling masters degree, a little dream I’d had since my high school senior year, sitting in AP Psych class.

These days, I live near a marshy woodland with my blended family of humans & animals. I love gardening, going to see live music, traveling to strange lands, hiking, a good novel, fiddling with my houseplants, my dad’s old guitar, singing, writing, and having good conversations while eating excellent food.

You can hear a bit of me here during a chat I was invited to have with Jeremy Schumacher, fellow therapist and host of Your Therapist Needs Therapy (September 2024).
