Services are grounded in choice, collaboration, and recovery values—and always led by your goals. Through CCS, participants can access a network of support that may include peer specialists, case management, skill-building, and support with housing, employment, or education.

Specialized offerings include:

  • Service Facilitation: Provided through the Dane County CCS program .
  • Prescribing: Integrated psychiatric services designed to work alongside your strengths and honor your unique recovery path.
  • Skill Development: Individual Skill Development & Enhancement (ISDE) services focus on life skills, organization, budgeting, and wellness planning.
  • Peer Support: Voluntary, person-centered support led by Certified Peer Specialists with their own lived experiences of mental health and substance use recovery.

Collaborative Psychiatry

Our outpatient psychiatric clinic offers trauma-informed, client-centered care to adults in Dane County living with complex mental health challenges. With over two decades of experience, our team collaborates with individuals to co-create treatment plans that center on your goals, voice, and autonomy.

We are one of the few clinics in the region that still accepts new patients with Medicaid, offering vital access to people who are often excluded from care. Services may include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing clinical support.
