About Me

Mercy Maxan Greenwald is a therapist and clinical social worker at Lakeside Counseling Center in Madison, Wisconsin. She works with kids and adults from age 10+, couples and families.

Ms. Greenwald’s practice centers around helping people break free from complex trauma. She uses a narrative approach that encourages you to express yourself. She graduated from UW Madison with an MA in social work.

Navigate Life Transitions

Ms. Greenwald believes that everyone has the potential to live a life of joy, even when a lot is changing. She offers a safe place to work through life transitions and prioritize your mental wellness in spite of the season of change.

Her liberation-based therapy is often useful for people going through stress or even pregnancy or postpartum. She works with you to maintain your sense of self as you step into your new role as a parent. You can rest in her support as you deal with ever-changing hormones and a body that looks different because of pregnancy.

Couples Counseling for Non-Traditional Relationships

Lakeside Counseling also offers couples counseling for romantic partners of all iterations.

For couples exploring non-monogamy, Ms. Greenwald can help you outline boundaries and establish healthy communication channels so you’re able to respect each other and other parties you become involved with.
