Conveniently located on West Capitol Drive near Interstate 41 in Milwaukee, this nonprofit outpatient clinic supports children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. The community-based center treats depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, self-harm, and identity concerns. Offering both in-person and virtual appointments, Wellpoint Care Network gives the wider community easier access to support. This center offers flexible hours, clinical assessments, and consultation services that address a wide range of needs, including life transitions such as divorce or loss, challenges within the school setting, and stressors faced by LGBTQ+ youth and adults seeking affirming care. Navigate Trauma Toward Healing Therapists ground work in trauma-informed practices, offering trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy, family counseling, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. The Wellpoint Care Network has been at the forefront of the Trauma Informed Care movement, developing its own framework known as the Seven Essential Ingredients. This model guides all services by recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma, adopting a perspective that asks what has happened rather than what is wrong, and prioritizing regulation, relationships, and connection to family, community, and culture. Individual, family, and group services use evidence-based and expressive methods that build coping skills, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships. Extend Support Beyond the Clinic Beyond outpatient care, Wellpoint Care Network also partners with schools to provide on-site mental health services, allowing students to meet with therapists during the school day. Additional programs support youth transitioning from foster care with guidance in education, employment, housing, and health, focusing on stability and long-term growth

The people that work there, are super nice and friendly and they have a great attitude. They have helped me get to my appointment in the building on time. If I could, I would rate you guys 100 out of 100 stars.

Cases with the children become sedentary, and children fall thru the cracks through this awful organization. It has been 2 years with no changes, if anything it has got worse. There is no real guidance or help for the families.

Wow, I've seen so many negative reviews, I was honestly suprised when I had such a pleasant experience. I wasn't "assigned" here for anything however. So I am sure the experiences are different depending on the situation. For me I was looking to get my son into some talk therapy since our health provider had NOTHING available for over 6 months! And this place got us in the next week and we're really helpful. The counselor or therapist assigned to my son was extremely kind and caring, she gave good information and helped get us connected with places to get assistance with some other things. I've recently gone through my own traumatic event and have reached out to them to get my own therapy as again my regular healthy care provider company has zero ability for any mental healthy appointments unless it is drug or alcohol related-which for me is not, I have gotten in for the psychiatric doctor to get my diagnosis of PTSD and medication management, but when they tried to get me set uo with someone for "talk therapy" it was HORRIBLE! They had nothing available for 3 months, so when that 3 month wait was over I had an online "assessment" with an extremely rude women who then dumped me into a group therapy thing-which had over 150 people in it, and was an "online" group for 3 hours a day- for 6 weeks until she had something available! I was seriously disgusted with them for the therapy part of the memtal health care. I absolutely LOVE my actual doctor, but the talk therapy or counseling part of it-horrible, worst thing in the world. So, I reached out to Wellpoint instead to see if I could get therapy with them even if I was an adult and surprisingly I was able to. I thought it was only for children and families and things like that, but compared to the horrible experience I had with probably the largest health care provider company in Milwaukee, my experience with Wellpoint was SO much nicer. I havnt had my own personal therapy yet with them, but do soon, and I know the experience I had while my son went there was very good, he also liked his therapist very much. To be clear, my negative experiences was NOT with Wellpoint, it was the therapy part of the mental health system in the large milwaukee health care group- I've only ever had positive experiences with Wellpoint as of now.

Kristina Krstic

I’ve been dealing with this horrific absolutely horrific place for a year now the accusation and the rudeness the social worker I’m assigned too should be embarrassed on how she approaches ppl and needs to be fired…they claim they want family reunited but all she does is absolutely lie and gives information out of her behind and makes threats I’ve never been more disgusted with a place until I met these people!! STAY AWAY

I like going to Wellpoint because it has been helping me. The staff is very good and the front desk is very easy to talk to.

I’ve been dealing with this place for over three years now and they did not help me and their still not they have took my children away from me over lies and have not help to get them back they have dug a hole in my family and all they care about is themselves and money they don’t care about helping families coming back together they only care about helping the foster people they don’t care about the children feelings or the parents/parent they don’t care how many times you did all they asked or require to do they don’t care about moving anything forward in getting your children back and I’ve been feeling like I’ve been in this alone when they have everyone against you in this battlefield they want to see you give up and they don’t care if your doing better in life they become close friends with the foster people and treat you as an enemy they leave you stuck and wondering and they don’t respond to anything but make it seem like your mental and targeting them when your not but trying to figure out why etc I have so much to say about them but little gets spoken because if you speak up for yourself they use it against you for their own good because they get paid for literally acting like they doing something but their not and then they act like that haven’t gotten anything from you or anyone helping you and they don’t update anything you have done to do better and get better as a human being they treat you like some type of animal and not as a human
