Family therapy and counseling in Appleton, WI

Hi, I’m Tia Sanders, a Milwaukee native, with 10+ years of experience focusing on maternal health, depression, anxiety, life transitions and substance abuse. I work with adults and young adults from diverse and undeserved communities - if you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for support, I invite you to take that first step. Together, we can explore where you are, where you want to go, and the strengths and resources you already have to help you move forward.

I graduated with my MSW from Aurora University in 2017, and I’ve continued to deepen my clinical training ever since. I’m trained in a variety of evidence‐based therapeutic approaches—including Gottman, EMDR, ACT, Motivational interviewing, and harm reduction—which allows me to tailor therapy to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, collaborative style. I value getting to know who you are, understanding what matters most to you, and creating a space where you can explore challenges without judgment. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that people grow best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.

I'm so happy your here!

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a better you. I believe that working towards good mental health is an investment in yourself. I want to help you feel like a million bucks! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a school psychologist with over 20 years of experience.

Hi, I'm Remi!

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist. This does not mean I just work with couples and family units, I work with individuals as well! Also, it means that I'm a systems thinker. Meaning, I've been trained to consider the many system dynamics ( family, friendships, employment, etc.) people participate in daily, and how these dynamics can present in one's mental health symptoms and concerns.

I have worked in the field of social services and therapy for 20 years, servicing adults and children. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Social Worker for several years, servicing clients who ranged in age from 102 to 5 years old. Currently, my clientele consists of adults and teens.

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 am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can feel safe exploring difficult experiences while building great self- awareness and lasting change. My approach is grounded in relational and experiential therapy, while also integrating evidence- based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. I value authenticity, curiosity, and helping clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful and empowering ways.

I am an older adult with a counseling degree based on several decades of life experiences. I understand you because I have probably 'been there' in my own life before. I accurately empathize with you and give you treatment pathways that worked for me. I accept all types of life's problems and because I have gone through divorce and the loss of a child, I specialize in grief counseling. I have a specialty in foster amd adoption therapy. I realize that counseling is hard work on the part of the client, and as your therapist I commit to helping you seek deliverance of the past and cheer you on to the future.

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.

I serve a broad population of clients coping with crisis, trauma, faith-based issues, relationship and marital issues, substance use and addictions, anger management and emotional dysregulation, career decisions, self-esteem and self-efficacy skill development, and other challenges clients are facing.

My philosophy is meeting clients where they are, without bias or judgment. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to walk beside, providing the tools and techniques to support finding solutions and healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach to tailor services to meet the clients' needs. I work with clients from a holistic approach.

I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision, a Master's in Professional Counseling, a Masters in Health Care Administration, and a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Nurse.

Hi, I’m Kylie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families, with a special passion for supporting children, adolescents, and the people who care about them.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. My goal is to meet clients where they are, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and create a space where healing and growth feel possible. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, we’ll work together to ensure your care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My approach is collaborative and I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, autism, or life changes.

When working with children and families, I believe lasting change happens when the whole family feels supported. I enjoy helping families strengthen communication, better understand one another, and build on the strengths they already have.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Iowa and my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. My experience includes both private practice and nonprofit settings, working primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, listening to music, watching anime, playing video games, and being outdoors. These interests often help me connect with the children, teens, and young adults I work with and remind me that genuine connection is at the heart of meaningful therapy.

Hello! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving individuals of all ages throughout Wisconsin. I believe mental health care should feel approachable, supportive, and free from judgment. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or returning to care, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what's on your mind.
