Professional Services Group – Outagamie County Office

Professional Services Group (PSG) is a behavioral health and social service agency operating across fourteen counties in Wisconsin including this location in Appleton. They offer cost-effective clinical services like outpatient mental health therapy, substance use recovery and psychiatry. They also provide job readiness and vocational skills development, in-home therapy and wellness programs. These services vary across counties but you can always link to a specific program within their network.

PSG serves adults, adolescents and children alongside their families in recovery. They accept various insurances including Medicare and Tricare. Income-based sliding fee scale discount is available for the uninsured and underinsured to ensure no one is denied care due to inability to pay.

Inclusive Therapy

A core appeal of PSG is their genuine commitment to providing a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for all regardless of age, gender and sexual orientation. They’re LGBTQ+ friendly and provide tailored therapy for members of these vulnerable communities.

The Outagamie County Office is situated at W Spencer St about five miles south of Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve in a commercial district within Appleton. This facility offers youth programs including community service and in-home safety initiatives.

Family Safety Support Services

PSG’s in-home safety program in Outagamie County supports families referred by the Department of Health and Human Services. They help maintain safety in homes where children or adolescents are at risk of removal or going through reunification.

This often stems from challenges like a parent’s or sibling’s struggle with substance use, which can put the child’s stability at risk. The program tackles varying issues impacting family stability and safety. Support may focus on improving parent-child relationships, parenting skills and household management including access to safe housing and nutrition.

They may also help families navigate substance use and mental healthcare, education and employment and primary medical care. Substance use recovery may involve intensive outpatient therapy provided by PSG.

Medication Assisted Treatment

This structured program combines therapy and psychoeducation to help clients understand the roots of their substance use and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Clients can also receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of their individualized care if necessary to achieve lasting recovery. PSG has Suboxone and Vivitrol available for their MAT program to help clients curb cravings and alleviate painful withdrawal symptoms.

Clients with primary psychiatric issues or dually diagnosed substance use and psychiatric conditions may receive medication management services as part of integrated care to ensure well-rounded recovery. They may also be able to access PSG’s wellness offerings including nutritional education, meditation and sound healing alongside reiki. This fosters the general wellness of mind, body and spirit. The broader services focus on helping the family build informal and formal support networks and tools necessary for stability.
