Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Appleton, WI

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach grounded in curiosity, compassion, and practical support. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood without judgment, and explore what matters most to you at a pace that feels manageable.

I believe meaningful change comes from combining insight with action. Together, we’ll look at the patterns, experiences, and pressures shaping your life while also building concrete tools you can use between sessions. I tailor my work to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process, drawing on your strengths, values, culture, and goals.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specializes in providing mental health and psychiatric care to patients and their families.

I have eight years of correctional experience that has equipped me with a broad understanding of different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin and enjoy many of the outdoor activities the area has to offer. I love to fish, hike, and spend time with my family. I am also a beekeeper and enjoy harvesting honey each fall.”

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with children (6+), teens, adults, and families facing anxiety, panic, OCD, body-focused behaviors like hair pulling/skin picking, eating disorders, ARFID, depression, and life transitions. I also offer parent coaching, family therapy, and couples counseling as it relates to navigating a loved one faced with some of these challenges. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build resilience. My approach is collaborative—together, we set meaningful goals, break them into manageable steps, and develop skills and tools for lasting change.

Howdy! My name is Rachel Davis. Sort and sweet about me, is I feel truly blessed to be able to chat with people for a living, and feel honored to be able to talk through life with them.

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.
