About Be the Change Health and Wellness
Located in Milwaukee’s Historic 3rd Ward, this outpatient mental health and alcohol and other drug clinic serves adults and families. Clinicians specialize in trauma care and process addictions, including gambling and sexual behaviors. Services include standard outpatient counseling, telehealth, and intensive therapy options offered as one day, three day, or six day programs.
Neuroscience Informed Care with Holistic Services
The team blends eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with traditional psychotherapy and neuroscience-informed care. Sessions may include individual, group, and family counseling plus mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and breath work. Complementary services, including Reiki, somatic energy work, needleless acupuncture, massage, and sound meditation, support nervous system regulation and trauma processing, helping clients build coping skills, reduce symptoms, and feel more grounded day to day.
Be The Change Wellness also offers Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a neuroscience-based approach designed to address and resolve the earliest neurophysiological shock associated with trauma. In addition, the center provides concierge-style, customized support for individuals with complex trauma and those navigating addiction recovery who need added structure to maintain stability.
Coordinated Programs for Trauma and Family Care
Notable programs include intensive healing for betrayal trauma and sex addiction for individuals or couples, along with therapy groups for substance use, sexual addiction, betrayal healing, co-addiction, and codependency. The clinic also offers assessments for trauma and dissociation, smoking cessation support, and family services, with coordinated care provided in person and through telehealth.
