About Alternatives in Psychological

Just off West Washington Street near South 70th Street in West Allis, Alternatives in Psychological Consultation (APC) provides mental health and substance use support for children, adolescents, adults, and families. The center delivers outpatient counseling, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and community-based assistance. With a strong focus on trauma-informed practices, APC partners with initiatives such as Wraparound Milwaukee and CCS to support recovery and long-term progress.

APC uses a person-centered, strengths-first model supported by evidence-based treatment methods. These may include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Each client works with clinicians on a tailored plan aimed at emotional wellbeing, personal goals, and making healthier choices. Support is also available for co-occurring concerns, family conflicts, trauma, and grief. Therapists emphasize creating a secure, supportive environment, offering flexible services suitable for people of all ages.

In addition, APC provides mentoring, parenting guidance, academic tutoring, and help with housing. These programs are designed to strengthen stability both at home and in the community. Through services such as Targeted Case Management and Integrative Support Services, clients build practical daily living skills, receive crisis-related support, and connect with wraparound resources matched to the needs of youth and adults. The team includes licensed therapists, peer specialists, and dedicated care coordinators who focus on wellness that lasts a lifetime.
