Do you want to take ownership over your life and regain your power? Are you ready to learn how to be vulnerable and find your inner strength? You are brilliant and resilient, so your story does not have to end the way it began! As a clinician, I believe it is important to meet clients where they are in their lives and assist individuals who have a vision of where they see themselves going. I want to be your copilot as you construct a new path for your life. If anger, anxiety, fear, your past, or depression are weighing you down, I want to help you carry your weight.

I'm currently accepting new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of support? Together, we can address your mental health, challenges with work, school, or relationships. I help teens and adults make sense of their experiences, recognize their strengths, and develop coping strategies. Clients describe me as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. I offer a supportive space to share, reflect, and heal. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, listening to music, exercising, and watching sports.

Feel free to give me a call and we can set up a free consultation or schedule a session. I look forward to working with you!

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Oconomowoc, 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.

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.

Everyone gets stuck. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. My approach centers on identifying and building upon your existing strengths, values, and resilience rather than focusing solely on what feels broken or not working. You already carry the tools needed for growth—therapy helps bring those tools into clearer focus and teaches how to use them more effectively during challenging moments.

I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

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.
