Mental Health Counseling
Our mental health counseling addresses anxiety, depression, and trauma through evidence-based approaches. Clients receive personalized treatment plans combining cognitive-behavioral techniques, family systems work, and mindfulness practices. With 31 licensed professionals, we offer individual, group, and family therapy sessions tailored to each client's needs and insurance coverage.
Substance Abuse Treatment
Comprehensive addiction treatment includes outpatient programs, MAT, and relapse prevention. Our certified specialists use motivational interviewing and 12-step integration to address chemical dependency. The program combines medication management with behavioral therapies to achieve long-term recovery outcomes for adults and teens.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation offers non-invasive depression treatment using magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions. FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression, sessions last 20-40 minutes with no anesthesia required. Most patients experience symptom improvement after 4-6 weeks of scheduled treatments.
Spravato Treatment
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray treats severe depression under medical supervision. This FDA-approved option works rapidly for treatment-resistant cases when combined with oral antidepressants. Patients receive two weekly doses in-clinic with post-treatment monitoring for optimal safety and efficacy.
Group Therapy
Structured group sessions address specific needs like DBT skills, trauma recovery, and adolescent challenges. Led by licensed therapists, these evidence-based programs foster peer support while maintaining clinical rigor. Groups meet weekly with options for teens, adults, and family members.

Very unprofessional and rude. Prescribers came and went over a few years so I experienced the behavior of not only a number of rotating prescribers, but also attended multiple groups. When I started asking what I imagine were "too many questions", I saw an ugly side by those with control over my medication. Dr. Kumar has been around for decades. He wasn't much help back then when he practiced out of the building that is now Kettle Moraine Counseling.
Even as a child that individual made me uncomfortable. I hope that this clinic goes under and that a better clinic replaces these "professionals". People deserve to be treated with respect regardless of their struggles. The people walking into Affiliated want help and are taking the steps to get it. Sadly, from my experience, our efforts within the walls of Affiliated are unacknowledged and discouraged. James Giese is the owner and seems receptive, however, he's talented at being two faced. When did people throw decency and honor out the door?!? I do not recommend Affiliated and will make it known.

Before my insurance changed I worked with Ryanne Wendt and Alyssa Sydalko. (not sure if their names are spelled correct) I have nothing but positive things to say about both of them. My life will be forever changed by them. Ryanne is an amazing counselor who makes difficult issues easy to talk about and helps you to see what you're doing right as well as areas to improve on. Wish I could still see her, if my insurance situation changes definitely going back to her.
Best counselor I've ever worked with! Alyssa changed my life forever too! She took me seriously when discussing symptoms and gave me a referral for a pulmonologist instead of messing with medication combinations that did nothing to relieve my symptoms. turns out I have narcolepsy! Alyssa was the one medical provider who went the extra mile for me. after 10+ years of misdiagnosed symptoms she is the person who sent me down the path for a proper diagnosis and symptom management. That process would have taken years to figure out on my own. These ladies are amazing providers who definitely care about their clients! If you get the chance to work with them, do it!

All they care about is money! DO NOT send someone you love here. They do not always keep their appointments with clients. They often send a "text alert" saying you have an appointment and when you come in they deny you access for help. Even though they are the ones who "confirmed" your appointment. They are rude and unprofessional.

Dr. Kumar was very good but the therapist I saw was horrible. Her name is Patricia/Patty. I saw her for years and not once did anything to help me or even point me in a good direction. I felt like I was talking to a wall. Nerver asked questions or lead me to a safe place. I felt like she didn't even listen and come to find out took even worse notes on what I said or didn't say. I gave permission for them to give my diagnosis but not my private session.
I wouldn't ever recommend going to her. I went to her for help for in an abusive relationship and he was also a drug addict. Never once asked me if I was safe. *She knew I wasn't. I didn't know the steps to leave without getting hurt in the process again. She didn't help. I'm not sure what good she is besides sitting in a chair for a paycheck.
