Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hello! I'm Grace, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively within hospital-based Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). This experience has given me a deep understanding of the profound sense of helplessness and struggle one feels when caught in the middle of an intense emotional storm.

Therapist

I believe that healing begins the moment you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a therapist, my heart is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure, just honesty and compassion. What sets me apart is my ability to listen beyond the words. I pay attention to your story, your emotions, your patterns, and even the things you don’t always know how to express.

I have over 24 years of experience working with a broad range of individuals and families of diverse cultural and economic populations. I've provided treatment to individuals with addictions, behavioral and mental health challenges. I don’t treat people with a one-size-fits-all approach. I honor your uniqueness. I take the time to understand your background, your experiences, and the goals that truly matter to you. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover the root of what you’re facing, not just the symptoms on the surface.

In our work together, I focus on helping you gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and discover healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. I’ll support you, encourage you, and at times gently challenge you—because your growth matters. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity issues, or simply feeling stuck, I will help you identify what’s holding you back and empower you to move toward the person you were created to be.

My passion is helping people heal, grow, and thrive. I believe change is possible, hope is real, and your life has value and purpose. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional freedom and wholeness, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

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

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
