Some healing happens best in good company. Mend clinicians lead small therapy groups throughout the year — a place to learn skills, feel less alone in what you're carrying, and practice new patterns with people who get it. Groups meet by secure video from anywhere in Wisconsin, and some meet in person in Appleton.
How to join: groups start when enough members enroll, and most begin with a short conversation first so we can make sure the group is a good fit. Book a free 15-minute consultation or call 920-234-6842 to ask what's forming now.
