My name is Anna Banwell and I am a specialized professional counselor who is a registered art therapist in Janesville Wisconsin. I have a masters of science in art therapy and five years of experience working with adolescents and adults. Within my practice I specialize working with various challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation,ADHD and trauma.
I believe prioritizing mental health is an important part of creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and I know reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps to take. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I have worked primarily with adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward healing, self understanding, and meaningful growth.
If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move
forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent
over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who
are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and
depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with
individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and
community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.
I serve a broad population of clients coping with crisis, trauma, faith-based issues, relationship and marital issues, substance use and addictions, anger management and emotional dysregulation, career decisions, self-esteem and self-efficacy skill development, and other challenges clients are facing.
My philosophy is meeting clients where they are, without bias or judgment. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to walk beside, providing the tools and techniques to support finding solutions and healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach to tailor services to meet the clients' needs. I work with clients from a holistic approach.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision, a Master's in Professional Counseling, a Masters in Health Care Administration, and a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Nurse.

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.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Appleton starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of need. Common license types in Wisconsin include LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist — and if you're interested in medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Appleton and the surrounding Fox Cities area have a range of mental health providers, which can make narrowing your search feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you beyond credentials — things like whether a provider offers virtual or in-person sessions, their therapeutic approach, and whether their schedule works with yours. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you get a sense of their style and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in the Appleton area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and out-of-pocket costs may vary based on your plan and location. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
