About Forward Choices LLC

Located close to the walking trails of Washington Park and reached through three county bus routes, this mental health clinic provides care for children, teens, adults, and families throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha. The center offers outpatient support for conditions such as anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, and related concerns, including same-day emergency appointments and a response for new clients within 48 hours.

They use a strength-based model that starts with an individualized evaluation to identify client-driven goals. Therapists then use proven, research-backed practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and marriage and family counseling. Sessions emphasize supported guidance and shared decision-making so that the plan fits each person’s unique needs and preferences.

Clients also have access to caring, expressive options like art therapy and animal-assisted therapy, including certified therapy dogs, to help reduce stress and encourage communication. Forward Choices additionally provides HIPAA-compliant telehealth for individuals facing transportation issues or health limitations, and it coordinates closely with local physicians and psychiatrists to support well-rounded care.
