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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or past trauma? Do you want to sharpen your mindset, improve relationships, find emotional peace, strengthen habits or deepen your spiritual life?

Hi, I’m Jacob Templeton. I bring experience from 15 years in mental health, including 9+ years of clinical counseling. I've worked with diverse clients, including many first responders. Whether you’re navigating a tough season or pursuing growth, I’d be honored to help you create lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling, with a double-emphasis in both Community Counseling and Higher Education Counseling. I work with the adult population experiencing: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship/family issues, coping, grief, substance use, adjustment, educational challenges, and occupational concerns. I am honored to support others, and truly enjoy seeing people become more aware, resilient, and positive on their journeys toward self-discovery.

When drinking, using, or a pattern you can't seem to break has started running the show, or anxiety, grief, or depression has piled on top of everything else, it can feel like no one sees the whole picture. Seeing the whole picture is what I've spent thirty years doing. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor in Wisconsin with more than 10 years as a therapist, and before that, more than 20 years as a case manager for adults with mental health conditions and disabilities. I've sat beside people on their hardest days. That's where I learned to be an advocate.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic health concerns using a lifestyle medicine–informed approach. Many clients feel overwhelmed managing both mental health symptoms and physical conditions, while balancing work, relationships, and caregiving demands. Often high-functioning yet exhausted, they carry a significant mental and physical load and feel disconnected from their needs or direction. This work focuses on restoring stability by addressing the behavioral and lifestyle factors that influence overall health.

I am licensed in both mental health and substance use treatment in the state of Wisconsin, and have spent over 20 years working with a wide range of people and concerns in many different settings. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to offer a grounded, respectful space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported at your own pace.

Dignity. Honoring the inherent dignity of each individual. Celebrating the uniqueness of those with whom I work, my patients and their families alike.

Excellence in practice. Valuing life-long learning and continual practice improvement. Highly skilled at managing complex medication regimens, and working with clients in developing both prescribing and de-prescribing plans.
