About

Petrovnia McIntosh is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with nine years of clinical experience. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist for Individuals.


She specializes in supporting adults who experienced long-term trauma in childhood. Her clinical work is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which means she looks for recurring patterns of thought and behavior that were shaped by early life experiences.


Petrovnia approaches behavior as serving a purpose developed to adapt and survive difficult environments. In sessions she helps clients explore the needs those behaviors met, consider alternative responses, and develop practical plans to try new behaviors. She emphasizes a non-judgmental process and will work with clients to process how new actions help or hinder their progress.


Her practice focuses on people with multiple intersections, especially People of Color, members of the LGBTQ community including those planning gender-affirming transition or surgery, and people living with HIV. She also attends to how systemic oppression, internalized oppression, and historical or generational trauma play a role in present-day life.


Petrovnia looks forward to working with clients and supporting them as they pursue their goals.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical experience indicate that these types of issues often respond well to remote sessions.


One of the main benefits is flexibility - you can choose the communication method that works best for your schedule and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability helps make consistent care easier to maintain when life is busy or travel is difficult.


Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective way to access ongoing mental health support.
