As a board certified trauma clinician, my primary goal is to help clients navigate their healing journey from anxiety, depression, trauma, and uncertainties in life. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can express their thoughts and emotions without judgment.

Using evidence-based therapies and techniques, I help clients explore the root causes of their challenges and develop effective coping strategies. I employ a person-centered approach and top priority is to ensure my clients feel safe and heard.

A few years ago, I moved from upstate New York to Appleton, Wisconsin. I'm loving life in the Midwest! I am happy to be licensed in both Wisconsin and New York. At this time, I am ONLY seeing clients virtually using a HIPAA-compliant app called Spruce for video-based telehealth sessions. As of January 2023, I’ve recently had a few client spaces open up. These openings are mostly during the work week hours, but I’d love to see if we’re a fit. I’m not accepting insurance directly, but many of my clients are able to receive reimbursement by submitting my superbill to their insurance.

Greetings! My name is Jennifer Brau and I am a licensed clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor in Wisconsin. I received my undergraduate degree in social work from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and graduate degree in social work from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. I chose coursework focused on direct practice with children and families and clinical practice for mental wellness and substance use. My professional experience includes work in child welfare, treatment foster care, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other adjustment or life transition concerns.

I enjoy working with adult clients who are interested in learning about their past and how it affects their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, these negatively impact and affect interpersonal relationships. I provide skills to my clients, which allow them to learn effective coping strategies. I assess what individuals would like to gain out of coming to therapy and customize their treatment to help them succeed in meeting their needs and goals. Please contact me by email to set up your first appointment.

Life can often feel overwhelming and sometimes we find ourselves feeling depressed, anxious, and stuck. Although it can be hard making that first call, therapy can help. By sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences it can lead to a new perspective. This new perspective can improve our relationships with ourselves, others, and provide the balance that we may have been lacking. My specialty is helping individuals and couples struggling with: trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, hoarding, stress management, life transitions, co-dependency, and relationship concerns.

I bring to the table over 20 years of experience and research in one single disorder, ADHD. My previous role as an ADHD Coach helping individuals, couples, and families has now transitioned into a new role in psychotherapy as a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in ADHD. I also offer formal ADHD diagnostic testing for children and adults. My ADHD treatment emphasizes education on ADHD and strategies designed to manage symptoms. Challenges within relationships are also a focus, especially to strengthen relationships affected by ADHD.
