Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Appleton, WI

Clients working with Jenna Saul, MD can expect a clinician who sees the whole person in context. From her psychiatry career, she knows "nature vs. nurture" is one continuum—life events shape us from community to DNA. She focuses on strengths after adversity, helping clients act authentically, true to who they are, not emotions. Avoiding "resilience" (events change us permanently), she sees us as malleable: a chink in armor becomes strength. Dr. Saul tunes into language's power to free or trap us.

I offer a unique blend of traditional mental health therapy and holistic approaches, including energy healing and other complementary practices when they align with a client's goals and interests. I believe that beneath life's challenges, past experiences, self-criticism, and the many roles we carry is a deeper, authentic part of ourselves that often gets overlooked or disconnected. My work is centered on helping clients better understand themselves, heal emotional wounds, reconnect with their inner strengths and wisdom, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore both practical solutions and deeper personal growth.

When people aren't sleeping well, almost everything else becomes harder to manage.

Stress feels heavier. Emotions feel bigger. Relationships become more challenging. Even the coping skills that normally work can start to fall apart.

I'm Dr. Emanuel Sánchez-Santiago, a bilingual Clinical Psychologist providing therapy in both English and Spanish. I specialize in helping adults navigate insomnia and sleep difficulties, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, grief, major life transitions, and the emotional impact of chronic stress. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, LGBTQIA+ individuals, survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma, and people adjusting to significant changes in health, identity, or relationships.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted—physically, emotionally, or both. Together, we work to understand what's keeping them stuck and build a path toward greater stability, resilience, and well-being.

If you've been holding a lot together on the outside while struggling on the inside, you're in the right place! Our work is collaborative and forward focused. With over ten years of experience providing therapy in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and across the lifespan. I am here to help you explore your inner world and reclaim clarity and purpose. I take a strengths-based approach, incorporating tools like mindfulness, grounding, and the creative outlets that resonate with you, with a strong emphasis on whole-person self-care--mind, body, and spirit.

I strive to provide a place of safety and security for those seeking emotional and mental wellness by building meaningful relationships with my clients. I enjoy working with trauma survivors while they find a new way of living with their past. I like to look at a person from a system perspective. What system (family or otherwise) did you grow up with? What does that look like now? What changes can you make in your system to create healthier boundaries and more meaningful relationships?

I believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.

I am here to support you with a current problem, or one you have been dealing with for years.
