Julie A. Fisher, LPC, NCC, MSE, Licensed Professional Counselor, Full Circle Counseling Services

Specialized LGBTQ Professional Counseling in the Appleton, WI area (or anywhere in Wisconsin via telehealth appointments) that supports, empowers, advocates and heals.

You need to live life as the person you were meant to be. But dealing with the challenges of being a part of a dis-empowered group, in a society that still has so much to learn about diversity and equality, is not easy. You may experience high anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria or issues with family, friends and employers. You may feel alone, frightened or even hopeless.  But you shouldn’t have to “go it alone”.

Full Circle Counseling Services is your “soft place to land”.  As a feminist, I advocate for all dis-empowered groups; women, LGBTQ, children, people of color, low income individuals, and animals (as a vegan).

• The core belief in feminism is equality for ALL, so every day in big and small ways, I work to extinguish the abuse of power in all its forms. My feminism makes me a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ community.
•  As a lifelong advocate, I am informed about and understand your unique challenges inherent in being part of the LGBTQ community.
  I know the prejudice and discrimination you face, just for daring to be who you are.
• Having worked with hundreds of clients within the LGBTQ community, I realize the impact of coming out or transitioning.
• And I’ve seen the negative impact and the struggle of not being ready or able to come out or to fully transition.
• I help educate and support family and friends, so they can better support you.
• I create a safe place for you to be; no need to explain or worry about a counselor who isn’t familiar with your unique needs and experiences within the LGBTQ community.
• I focus on supporting you via psycho-education and the very best mental health tools and resources available.
• I ensure your voice is heard, your wisdom honored and that you are always regarded as the “expert” on yourself.
• I am always on your side; empowering and advocating for social justice in and out of session.
