Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.

With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.

My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.

I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.

Remi Ereku

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


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.

Maxwell Mount

Maxwell Mount

Therapist

Virtual • Kenosha, WI


I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Appleton

Searching for therapists in Appleton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations they work with. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy can help you understand how a therapist may structure sessions.

In a smaller city like Appleton, local in-person openings may be more limited than in larger Wisconsin markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Wisconsin. As you narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what a first session may involve.

Therapy in Appleton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for Appleton counseling options by insurance, availability, specialty, and virtual or in-person format. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you find a therapist in Appleton, WI who fits your needs.
