Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Appleton, WI

My name is Anna Banwell and I am a specialized professional counselor who is a registered art therapist in Janesville Wisconsin. I have a masters of science in art therapy and five years of experience working with adolescents and adults. Within my practice I specialize working with various challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation,ADHD and trauma.

I believe prioritizing mental health is an important part of creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and I know reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps to take. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I have worked primarily with adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward healing, self understanding, and meaningful growth.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in the power of a growth mindset to strengthen mental health and personal well-being. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families to help them navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. My areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I take a client-centered approach, emphasizing mindfulness, stress management, and self-acceptance. I also value incorporating humor when appropriate to create a supportive and comfortable environment for change.

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.
