FAQs

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Modern Wellness provides personalized, practical mental health counseling for teens and adults throughout Wisconsin.

Whether you're looking for support with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, addiction and recovery, burnout, relationships, parenting, or a major life transition, therapy is designed around you—not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.

Services are available virtually, allowing clients throughout Wisconsin to access therapy from home.

Online & Virtual Therapy

  • Yes. Modern Wellness provides virtual therapy to clients located throughout Wisconsin. Because sessions are conducted through a secure telehealth platform, you do not need to live near Muskego or southeastern Wisconsin to work with Modern Wellness.

    As long as you are physically located in Wisconsin at the time of your appointment and the service is appropriate for telehealth, you can receive counseling from home, work, college, or another private location.

  • No. Modern Wellness serves clients throughout Wisconsin through virtual counseling. You can live in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Eau Claire, La Crosse, or a rural Wisconsin community and still inquire about services.

  • Online therapy is similar to an in-person counseling appointment, except you meet with your therapist through a secure video platform.

    Before your appointment, you will receive information explaining how to access your session. You'll need a reliable internet connection, a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, and a private place where you feel comfortable talking.

  • For many mental health concerns and clients, telehealth can be an effective way to receive psychotherapy. Whether virtual therapy is appropriate depends on your individual needs, symptoms, safety considerations, preferences, and treatment goals.

    Modern Wellness can help determine whether telehealth is an appropriate fit for you.

Areas of Specialization

  • Modern Wellness works with clients experiencing ADHD, anxiety, overthinking, trauma, PTSD, depression, addiction and recovery concerns, grief, relationship difficulties, burnout, parenting challenges, school-related difficulties, and major life transitions.

    Many clients seek counseling because they are exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck, experiencing relationship difficulties, carrying too many responsibilities, or realizing that the way they have been functioning is no longer sustainable.

    Therapy can provide a place to identify what needs to change and develop realistic strategies for moving forward.

Appointments, Insurance & Cost

  • Modern Wellness works with a number of insurance plans. Coverage varies by insurance company, specific plan, and service.

    Before beginning treatment, you should verify your behavioral health benefits directly with your insurance company. Modern Wellness can also provide information to help you understand the billing process.

  • The amount you pay depends on whether you are using insurance, your individual insurance benefits, and the type of service provided.

    Depending on your plan, you may be responsible for a copay, coinsurance, deductible, or another patient responsibility amount. Self-pay options may also be available.

    Contact Modern Wellness for current fee and insurance information.

  • How do I schedule an appointment?

    The easiest way to get started is to contact Modern Wellness or use the online appointment/request system.

    You'll provide some basic information about what you're looking for, your availability, and whether you plan to use insurance. This helps determine whether Modern Wellness is an appropriate fit before scheduling your first appointment.

  • What happens during the first therapy appointment?

    The first appointment is an opportunity to understand what has been happening, what brought you to therapy, what you have already tried, and what you would like to change.

    You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what your goals are or how to explain everything perfectly. Part of the therapist's job is helping you organize what is happening and determine where treatment should begin.

  • Modern Wellness uses an individualized and integrative approach rather than forcing every client into the same treatment model.

    Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate evidence-based approaches and practical strategies focused on thoughts, behaviors, emotional regulation, relationships, problem-solving, acceptance, values, coping skills, and sustainable behavioral change.

  • How do I know if Modern Wellness is the right fit for me?

    A good therapeutic relationship matters. You should feel that your therapist understands what you're trying to accomplish, communicates in a way that works for you, and can help you translate insight into meaningful change.

    If you're unsure whether Modern Wellness is appropriate for what you're experiencing, reach out and briefly describe what you're looking for. If your needs fall outside the practice's scope, you may be encouraged to pursue a different level or type of care.
