About Be the Change Health and Wellness
Set in Milwaukee’s Historic 3rd Ward, this outpatient mental health clinic for alcohol and other drug concerns supports adults and families. The clinicians focus on trauma treatment and process addictions, such as gambling and sexual behaviors. Clients can access outpatient counseling, telehealth sessions, and higher-intensity therapy programs delivered in one day, three day, or six day formats.
Care is provided through a combination of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), conventional psychotherapy, and neuroscience-informed approaches. Appointments may involve individual, group, or family counseling, along with mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and breath work. Additional therapies such as Reiki, somatic energy work, needleless acupuncture, massage, and sound meditation are used to promote nervous system regulation and support trauma processing, helping people strengthen coping strategies, ease symptoms, and feel more stable in daily life.
Key offerings include intensive healing for betrayal trauma and sex addiction, available for individuals and couples, as well as therapy groups addressing substance use, sexual addiction, betrayal healing, co-addiction, and codependency. The clinic also provides evaluations for trauma and dissociation, smoking cessation assistance, and family services, with coordinated treatment available both in person and via telehealth.
