Grief counselors and therapists in Milwaukee, WI

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.

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 work to provide you a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to work. Each of us are unique and complex. I see my job as helping you to develop tools and skills to deal with your complex life. I am able to help you in the areas of anxiety, depression, motivation, substance use concerns, self-esteem and confidence, grief/loss, and adapting to life changes, to name a few. My goal is to be approachable, accepting, and act as a guide through the process. Much of our power to be happy or unhappy depends on our ability to put our experiences in perspective and find our own path to heal.

We will focus on the strengths you have and how I can help you grow through changing self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work together to identify your goals, what the barriers are to moving forward, and developing needed skills to navigate through or around barriers. We are all human and at times need the help from an objective party to get through our struggles and to grow stronger!

About Me

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of serving the Manitowoc and Sheboygan communities through Lakeshore Community Health, now Noble Community Clinics, providing comprehensive care in both primary care and behavioral health settings.

My clinical passion lies in helping individuals struggling with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the effects of trauma. I have extensive experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, and I am committed to supporting patients through recovery with a compassionate, structured, and evidence-based approach.

I believe healthcare should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses. Physical health, mental wellness, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors all play an important role in overall health. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their care.

As the founder of Mind & Body Renew, I combine traditional medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help identify and address the root causes of illness. I am passionate about partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans that promote healing, long-term wellness, and a better quality of life.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Wisconsin in 1999 after my marriage and have proudly called this community home ever since. My husband and I have raised four wonderful children and are blessed with nine grandchildren who bring tremendous joy to our lives. When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and spoiling our two beloved fur babies.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better health, healing, and renewal.

I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, addiction, and tough emotional seasons. As an APSW and SAC-IT in Wisconsin, I bring training in Youth-Oriented Substance Abuse and Trauma Counseling, as well as Brainspotting. In our work together, we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect—especially around substance use, trauma, and patterns that feel hard to change—so you can feel safer, more understood, and more in control of your life.

I am an older adult with a counseling degree based on several decades of life experiences. I understand you because I have probably 'been there' in my own life before. I accurately empathize with you and give you treatment pathways that worked for me. I accept all types of life's problems and because I have gone through divorce and the loss of a child, I specialize in grief counseling. I have a specialty in foster amd adoption therapy. I realize that counseling is hard work on the part of the client, and as your therapist I commit to helping you seek deliverance of the past and cheer you on to the future.
