About Guest House Counseling Clinic

Nestled between Juneau and McKinley Avenues in Milwaukee’s King Park area, this rehabilitation center assists adults dealing with homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges. Residents receive safe lodging, regular meals, and a range of support services. Its setting makes it convenient to reach key routes such as I-43 and I-94, and nearby MCTS bus lines help guests get around the city.

The program uses a trauma-informed, person-centered model aimed at helping individuals regain confidence, stability, and independence. Evidence-based counseling methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) are used to address substance use and support mental wellness. Staff provide both individual sessions and group programs to offer personalized guidance, strengthen relationships, and encourage sustainable progress.

In addition to counseling, guests can access permanent supportive housing options, financial assistance, nutritious meals, and case management. The center also operates a licensed counseling clinic and delivers targeted treatment for people with co-occurring conditions. Dedicated space for veterans, laundry access, and periodic group activities help ensure that support extends beyond day-to-day needs and supports lasting recovery.
