Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Appleton, WI

Are you constantly asking yourself “what if,” worrying about what other people think, or feeling triggered by situations and relationships that seem difficult to understand? Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, or relationship challenges and aren’t quite sure what is causing you to feel this way. I’m Holly Doughty, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR and DBT therapist who works with children, teens, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, relationships, depression, and chronic pain, and I have experience helping clients work through difficult patterns, emotional distress, and life experiences that can feel overwhelming. As a mother, I also understand that life can be complicated, and sometimes you need a place where you can be honest about what you’re carrying.

I’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.

You’ve built your career. You’ve earned the title. You’ve learned how to perform, make decisions, solve problems, and lead others. But what got you here... may not be what keeps you there and takes you to your next level. The next level of leadership isn’t always about learning another strategy or adding another skill. Sometimes, it’s about shifting what’s happening within you—the way you think, the way you respond under pressure, what you’ve carried, and the habits & patterns that influence how you lead.

I work with leaders to help them lead with calm, confident composure. Leading doesn’t have to be so hard. Call or email me today. I meet you where you're at and start by listening closely, nonjudgmentally to your story. This helps us build trust & rapport. My approach leans more toward coaching to support you holistically—emotionally, mentally, and professionally. I help you understand what holds you back & keeps you overwhelmed or stuck. I offer practical tools you can use in your daily life.

You get the benefit of my 25 years of experience working with high‐potential, high-achieving professionals & leaders navigating stress, burnout, conflict with team members or the pressure to “hold everything together".

We explore what’s happening, without judgment. At the same time, you will get clear guidance, insight, and strategies that help you build emotional resilience, strengthen communication, set boundaries, and make meaningful changes.

I draw from what research says works best and years of experience in healthcare leadership, leadership coaching, and organizational psychology/development. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people‐pleasing, or major transitions, I can help you find ways in which you hold can bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use? You don't have to navigate these heavy burdens alone. Whether you are dealing with painful memories from the past, managing daily stress, or trying to break painful cycles, healing is possible. I specialize in helping individuals regain control, process trauma, and build a fulfilling life grounded in strength and peace.

Welcome, and thank you for considering me as a partner in your wellness journey! My therapeutic style is warm, gentle, and supportive, while also being direct and accountability focused. I believe meaningful change happens when compassion and honesty work together. In our time together, we will explore what’s getting in the way of your well-being and identify practical, sustainable ways to improve your daily functioning and overall quality of life.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I bring a grounded, steady presence to the therapeutic space. I support clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and periods of feeling stuck, always meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. Therapy with me is collaborative, intentional, and centered on your goals, your values, and your lived experience. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, resilience, and growth at a pace that feels both supportive and empowering.

Hi! My name is Tim (he/him) and I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping people from diverse backgrounds heal, grow, and work towards a life they believe is worth living. I have training and experience in clinical mental health counseling, substance use counseling, and higher education, and earned masters degrees from Marquette University and Wheaton College. I enjoy specializing in helping folks move forward as they work through anxiety, depression, substance use patterns, life transitions, identity, and personal growth.

I am a nurturer by habit, and I listen closely to each person’s unique story. Together, we can make sense of what you have experienced and identify satisfying solutions, so you feel heard, held, and more confident moving forward. Acceptance and gratitude guide my therapeutic stance, while hope helps us keep moving ahead. I will meet you with compassion, respect, and genuine care throughout our work together.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.

I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.

I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story. I work with people across all stages of life who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to help you rebuild safety, rediscover connection, and move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self. Alongside traditional therapy, I also offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can provide a meaningful, body-centered way to explore healing and self-awareness.
