Being addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs is stressful mentally, physically and emotionally. If you’ve been able to establish some level of sobriety, you have a lot to be proud of, and yet, it’s highly possible that you still have some work ahead of you. Maybe you are still experiencing cravings and are afraid of a return to using,  or perhaps you want to gain insight into how you can repair broken relationships, or you may be visiting an unavoidable environment where substances are often used and you want to know how to cope. No matter what you’re dealing with, participating in counseling for addiction can help you sustain long-term recovery.  Iris Health Clinic offers individual counseling for addiction, as well as couples and family counseling so families and loved ones can heal together.

We combine modern research, evidence-based practices, and our experience and training to provide individualized planning and services to all of our clients, their spouses and their family members.

While the prevalence of PTSD can vary, it has been estimated that approximately 7.8% of people at any given point in their lifetimes experience PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each person’s experience of PTSD is unique, and while you may have experienced a similar type of trauma to someone else, you can be affected in different ways. Individuals who suffer from PTSD may be experiencing painful flashbacks, intrusive thoughts or images, nightmares, intense distress, pain, sweating, nausea, or an overall sense of panic. Our trauma-focused counseling services will help you process your traumatic experience, set goals and develop new coping skills. Our PTSD counseling services are also available for couples, families and other loved ones.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness marked by extreme shifts in mood. Symptoms can include an extremely elevated mood causing individuals to feel manic at times.

Through therapy, you can learn to cope better and develop a more positive self-image. At IHC, we offer talk therapy, behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy for bipolar disorders. We also offer couples and individual counseling so your loved ones can gain a better understanding of your illness, share their concerns, and learn how to best support you.

Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression.

If you have been arrested for drunk or impaired driving in Wisconsin, you may be required to attend court-ordered DUI counseling in order to get your license back. Typically, Wisconsin courts will mandate DUI counseling for first-time offenders rather than imposing stricter penalties. If the required DUI counseling is not completed, a harsher sentence is often forced. So, while it may seem like a hassle to have to attend DUI counseling, it’s a much better option if you consider the alternatives. Iris Health Clinic’s DUI counseling services are designed to meet Wisconsin’s court-mandated DUI case regulations set forth by judges to keep high-risk, intoxicated drivers off the roads.
