American Relaxation Counseling Services (ARCS)

Helping families navigate emotional challenges and strengthen relationships, American Relaxation Counseling Services (ARCS) provides outpatient counseling for children, teens, adults, and couples in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. They address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and alcohol and drug concerns through individual and group sessions. Their family-centered approach also helps parents manage behavioral challenges, resolve conflicts, and navigate blended-family relationships and life transitions.

Address Challenges with Care

Their strengths-based approach focuses on understanding individual concerns, identifying personal strengths, and developing practical coping skills. Couples and family counseling address communication difficulties, trust, and relationship strain, while trauma-informed counseling helps children and adolescents navigate challenges at home and school. ARCS also conducts assessments for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and personal strengths to better understand specific concerns.

Build Skills Beyond Counseling

Structured group counseling covers anger management, grief, parenting, emotional wellness, and substance use recovery. Recovery-focused sessions address emotional triggers, relapse prevention, healthier decision-making, and accountability through shared experiences and practical exercises. Beyond counseling, ARCS shares parenting guidance and family wellness resources through their Relax Therapy podcast, covering self-care, communication, blended families, and adjusting to life's changes.
