The Guest House Counseling Clinic

Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Tucked between Juneau and McKinley Avenues in Milwaukee’s King Park neighborhood, this center helps adults facing homelessness, addiction, and mental health struggles. Guests are provided with shelter, meals, and support services. The location offers quick access to major highways like I-43 and I-94, with MCTS bus routes nearby for easy travel across the city. The center follows a trauma-informed, client-first approach focused on restoring purpose and independence. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) help guests overcome addiction and manage mental health. One-on-one counseling and group support provide tailored care that builds trust, supports recovery, and promotes long-term stability. Guests also benefit from services like permanent supportive housing, financial help, healthy meals, and case management. The center includes a licensed counseling clinic and offers specialized care for co-occurring disorders. With dedicated veteran dorms, access to laundry, and occasional group activities, they go beyond basic needs to rebuild lives.
