Bringing Better Family Mental Health to Wisconsin: A Model Proven to Reduce Anxiety and Depression Symptoms by at least 50% 

Compass Health Center offers specialized PHP and IOP programs across Wisconsin, with measurable outcomes and care that meets you where you are. 

A New Option for Individuals and Families in Wisconsin 

Across Wisconsin, families are navigating serious mental health challenges, often with too few options for effective treatment. Long waitlists, limited access to specialty care, and a patchwork of disconnected services make it hard to get help when it’s needed most. Whether it’s a teen missing school due to anxiety, a young adult struggling with depression, or a parent overwhelmed by their own mental health, getting the right support shouldn’t be so difficult. 

Compass Health Center’s goal is simple: to provide immediate access to the individualized, specialty mental health care people in Wisconsin need when they need it most. 

Opening in Brookfield in September 2025, Compass brings its evidence-based, psychiatrist-led PHP (Partial Hospitalization) and IOP (Intensive Outpatient) programs to Wisconsin. With both in-person and virtual options, families across the state now have access to comprehensive care that’s designed to be immediate, flexible, and effective. 

Compass programs are backed by data and shaped by the experiences of the people we serve. On average, patients see a 50 percent reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms during treatment. They also say they feel heard, supported, and better equipped to manage daily life. This model has already helped thousands of families across Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and it’s now available in Wisconsin. 

A Model That Meets You Where You Are, Helping to Move You Forward 

Mental health isn’t linear, and care shouldn’t be either. Compass was built to support people through it all, whether they’re facing an unexpected mental health crisis, navigating new or worsening symptoms, or exploring medication changes and more integrated support. 

Programs are tailored by age and designed to respond to each person’s needs, for example: 

• Teens (12–18) receive developmentally appropriate therapy, academic support, and structured family involvement. 

• Young adults (18–23) get support around transitions, identity, and independence, with guidance for families, too. 

• Adults (23+) access specialized care for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and other concerns, all while managing work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities. 

Our care model is integrated and responsive. That means patients get more support when they need it, and can step down to less intensive care when they’re ready, all within one connected team. It’s care that adapts to you, not the other way around. 

Immediate Access When It Matters Most 

When someone in your family is struggling, waiting months for an appointment can feel impossible. At Compass, we remove those barriers. 

Here’s what families can expect: 

• Same-day or next-day assessments 

• Psychiatric evaluation within 24 hours of starting treatment 

• Weekly check-ins with a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner 

• Specialized care for complex diagnoses 

• Fully in-person or virtual program options 

• Programs designed to fit into your real life 

• In-network access with most major insurance plans 

• Ongoing support after discharge, including aftercare planning and referrals 

Whether you live in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, or anywhere else in Wisconsin, our virtual care model makes PHP and IOP accessible statewide. 

Care That Goes Beyond Talk Therapy 

Compass’s PHP and IOP programs are levels of care that are more than once-a-week therapy, but less intensive than a hospital inpatient stay. Patients are supported by a full multidisciplinary team, including: 

• Psychiatry 

• Medication management 

• Individual therapy 

• Group therapy 

• Family therapy and education 

• Evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, and mindfulness 

We also offer specialized programs and services for: 

• Mood and anxiety disorders 

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) 

• Trauma and PTSD 

• School anxiety and refusal 

Family Involvement, Built In 

We believe family is an integral part of the healing process. Whether you’re a parent, sibling, partner, or caregiver, your voice matters and your support makes a difference. 

That’s why family involvement is a core part of every program. We offer: 

• Weekly family therapy and education sessions 

• Consistent updates from your loved one’s care team 

• Guidance around school reentry, IEPs/504s, and outside providers 

• Tools to help your family feel more confident and connected 

We don’t just treat individuals. We support the systems around them, helping families build understanding, improve communication, and move forward together.
