Meet Our Counselors

Kim Charniak MSW, LCSW Clinical Director

Hello and welcome! It would be my pleasure to join you in your personal mental
health journey. I specialize in treating those with ADHD, depression, anxiety, low
self-esteem, OCD, selective mutism, tics, Tourette's, mood disorders and LGBTQ+
issues, as well as helping clients of all ages with life transitions, career planning,
social skills and strengthening family relationships. I see clients ages 12 years old
and up.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Wisconsin-
Oshkosh and my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Wisconsin-
Milwaukee.
I enjoy helping clients acknowledge their thoughts, feelings and behavior, and
helping them make the choices they want to make rather than having it feel like
their anxiety or depression is calling the shots.
My treatment philosophy focuses on client centered treatment as I believe you are
the expert in your own life experience. I use evidence based treatment such as
CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy),
Motivational Interviewing and ERP (exposure with response prevention) to guide
us through treatment. I am passionate about helping clients identify their goals for
treatment and then finding a path forward to attain those goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the North Woods, boating, kayaking,
going to equestrian events, spending time with my (sometimes sassy, but always
adorable) dogs, cooking and spending time with friends and family.

Kim can be seen in our Appleton and Oshkosh offices, as well as via Telehealth.

Connie Norby MSE, LPC, NCC

My name is Connie Norby and I am pleased to provide telehealth counseling at Integrity
Counseling LLC. I specialize in treating people with LGBTQ+ issues including Transgender
care, and also people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues,
intimate partner violence, trauma and PTSD.

I believe the foundation for effective, therapeutic counseling is based on mutual respect and
collaboration between client and counselor. Together, we can work to explore barriers, strengths,
and opportunities for change. We are all faced with an array of challenges throughout life, and
the counseling process can help to offer guidance and bring about a healthier balance. In addition
to offering guidance, we will collaborate to identify strategies that can be used to facilitate
positive change.

During the counseling process, I strive to embrace the diversity that makes each of us unique. I
have a passion for working with people in the LGBTQ community and am an advocate of
LGBTQ rights. I am interested in working with individuals of all ages and abilities, including
children, adolescents and older adults, people with neurodiversity, and people who have physical
challenges. If you are unsure of where to turn for acceptance and support, I will offer you
therapeutic acceptance, support and guidance, and will work with you to help you achieve a
higher level of life satisfaction.

Personally, I enjoy reading, taking long walks, and spending time with family and friends. I am
the mother of four grown children, whose life experiences have helped me to grow as a mother
and an advocate.

Candace Debban-Anderson, LCSW

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinician and received my Undergraduate Degree from Carroll College, and my Master's from The University of Chicago. I have been practicing clinical counseling for over 35 years and have a wealth of experience working with adults, adolescents and children. I am comfortable working with all ages, but over the years I have become known for my connection with children.

I have been fortunate to have specialized training in various evidence-based treatments. Although I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Behavior Modification, I also provide EMDR treatment, and am working on specializing in this with children. In addition, I am trained and certified in DBT. I have received specialized training with a select team in pediatric anxiety disorders from a professor and doctor from The University of Madison.

I have provided many talks and conferences to professionals and parents on anxiety, adoption and parenting techniques. I am comfortable providing spiritual counseling for those who ask. I have a 2-year degree in Lay Ministry through the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

My approach is to welcome all, treat everyone no matter their beliefs, age, gender, sexual identity with respect, kindness and the least invasive therapeutic approach. I value each of my clients' journeys and feel honored they feel safe to share their experiences with me.

In my spare time I enjoy being with animals. I have been trained and certified in equine therapy, and believe animals have a purpose in this world and can help us in our healing. I also enjoy spending time with my adult children and husband and doing art that includes painting, drawing and crafting.

Marissa Sauer MPC, LPC

My name is Marissa, and I look forward to working with you. I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance will be essential to the growth process. When we are struggling in life, feeling stuck, hurt, confused, or alone we all deserve a safe space to talk with someone who will not judge us but instead walk alongside us to foster change and growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process and that you will get out of therapy what you put into therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides mental health treatment for those 18+. I earned my bachelor’s degree in human services leadership from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and my master’s degree in professional counseling from Mount Mary University. I take a goal-oriented therapeutic approach to counseling that focuses on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. I have experience helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, women’s issues, communication skills, and relationship concerns.

I am here to provide a safe space and help identify the tools you need to reach your full potential. As a developing counselor, I value supervision and consultation to help guide my work with clients. My goal is to provide the most effective, ethical, and empathic counseling services to those in need.

I can be seen in the Appleton Location or via Telehealth.

Kaitlyn Bork MSW, APSW

My name is Kaitlyn Bork and my passion for mental health is what led me to become an Advanced Practice Social Worker (APSW). My professional education includes a Bachelor of Arts from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a Masters in Social Work from Concordia University.

The thing that I enjoy most about working with clients is that everyone has their own unique story that makes them who they are. No one has the same experience as you and that requires your counseling sessions to be tailored to your needs. I also believe that the counselor-client relationship is a collaborative one where we work together to meet your goals and help you to feel heard and safe.

Currently, I am meeting with clients 13 and older. Areas of specialty that I have are in: anxiety, depression, women’s issues, LGBTQ+, military personnel and veterans, PTSD and trauma, communication skills, conflict resolution skills, life transitions, and self-esteem.

I can be seen in Oshkosh, Appleton, or via Telehealth. I look forward to working with you!

Megan Rios, MSW, APSW

Hello! My name is Megan Rios, and I am looking forward to working with you. I am an Advanced Practice Social Worker (APSW), and I hold a Bachelor of Science from Boston University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston College. I work with clients of all ages, with a particular focus on children and families. I treat concerns such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and adoption issues. I am particularly passionate about supporting families, so involving parents and other caregivers in their children’s treatment is a priority to me. I believe everyone has the right to feel heard and valued, and I will strive to create a positive environment for you while we work toward your goals.

My favorite part of my job is getting to know amazing people. I believe that every person has inner goodness and strength, and I take true joy in helping people discover and embrace the qualities that will lead them to healing and growth. I would be honored to accompany you through whatever you are facing in life.

Outside work, you will most likely find me outdoors soaking in a beautiful day with my family (no matter the season) or singing and playing my guitar or piano. I can’t wait to get to know you!
