Welcome — I’m Shuntell Browne, a licensed therapist and proud United States Navy veteran. My background in military service deeply informs the way I show up in the therapy space: with structure, compassion, accountability, and a strong commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
I work with both children and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, grief, and family transitions such as divorce or changes in caregiving. I have extensive experience supporting children and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, peer relationships, school stress, and big emotions, as well as adults who are working through life stressors, past trauma, and relationship challenges.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered, while also learning practical coping skills they can apply outside of sessions. I believe therapy should be both healing and actionable, and I partner closely with clients to help them make meaningful, lasting changes.
Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to support growth, build emotional resilience, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My name is LaShana Vance, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a medical background. As a therapist, I believe in treating both the mind and the body together. I strive to understand my clients from a comprehensive perspective to help them in the most effective way possible. My approach is direct and straightforward, yet I am caring and kind. I find that this style is often necessary and helps my clients get to the core of their issues or problem areas.
Hi there! I'm glad you're here. I’m a therapist who values real connection and honest conversations. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools and meaningful growth. My goal is to help you navigate challenges and build a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
Hi! My name is Tim (he/him) and I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping people from diverse backgrounds heal, grow, and work towards a life they believe is worth living. I have training and experience in clinical mental health counseling, substance use counseling, and higher education, and earned masters degrees from Marquette University and Wheaton College. I enjoy specializing in helping folks move forward as they work through anxiety, depression, substance use patterns, life transitions, identity, and personal growth.
Through the unique lens of multiple international and domestic cultures Sara has learned to see the patterns of the human experience. Dr. J credits her amazing education, advisors, supervisors, colleagues and clients for supporting the concretization of her Open Space approach. Which highlights meeting each client where they are in their life as a sacred space, a space of possibility.
Hi! I’m Jamie and I’m really excited to be a part of your journey. I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in professional counseling. I have over four years of experience providing psychotherapy and about six years of experience working in corrections. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from so many different backgrounds and at very different points in their lives.
When it comes to therapy, I’m pretty down-to-earth. I’m supportive, empathetic, and I definitely believe there is room for humor in therapy too. I want our sessions to feel like a place where you can just be yourself. You don’t have to have the perfect words, know exactly what you’re feeling, or have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That’s what we’re here to work through together.
I believe one of the most important parts of counseling is meeting people where they are. Life gets messy, and sometimes we just need someone in our corner who will listen, support us, challenge us when we need it, and remind us of the strengths we may have forgotten we have.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you, hearing your story, celebrating your wins (even the little ones!), and helping you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

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.
