Christian Family Solutions – Appleton Counseling Clinic

Just off Highway 41, Christian Family Solutions provides specialized care for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related symptoms, and other emotional challenges. Their programs include Christian-integrated counseling for all ages, a DBT-based intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults, and an online day treatment (PHP) program for adolescents. With both in-person and virtual options, CFS helps individuals build emotional strength, stability, and purpose.Supporting Therapies and ApproachThe clinical team uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapies, supportive counseling, and faith-informed guidance to build emotional balance and practical coping skills. Evidence-based strategies blend with spiritual insight when desired, helping clients manage intense feelings and rebuild healthier thinking. Medication management and case coordination strengthen continuity of care, while structured sessions give people consistent guidance and motivation as they move forward.Distinct Programs and Daily StructureAdults in the IOP program attend morning DBT groups four days a week, with each session lasting three hours. Groups are led by licensed therapists and supported by access to a 24-hour crisis line. The program focuses on DBT core skills, including emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, and includes opportunities for individual therapy and medication support.Adolescents take part in a virtual day treatment (PHP) program that helps them manage strong emotions and risky behaviors like self-harm or outbursts. Each day, teens join group therapy sessions online. They also meet weekly for one-on-one counseling and family therapy. The program uses DBT, CBT, and art activities to teach healthy ways to cope. Since it’s fully online, teens can stay at home while still getting strong support.
