LifeStance primarily provides substance abuse addiction programs through their Lifeclinic Addictions category of service.

LifeStance also offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well another proven and effective treatment for a variety of mental health disorders.

Psychiatrists often work collaboratively with their partners or clients to achieve the ultimate goal of providing comprehensive care not just for mental health issues but also considering all other mind-body components.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting, and is often the first step in addiction recovery. Quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects once you have become physically dependent. In medically assisted detox, a team of on-site healthcare professionals will work to keep you safe and comfortable during this process. Additionally, they may administer medications when needed to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy gives you the opportunity to understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Working with an experienced and trained therapist, you can process the events of the trauma and develop healthier coping strategies to reduce your symptoms.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Addiction treatment in Wisconsin emphasizes life skills training to help you relearn critical capabilities for day to day life. This training helps you build healthy, positive strategies for everything from self care, to career, to interpersonal relationships.

It is very sad that this is the 6th different center I go to and each one of them are the same, they only care for the money they earn and not for the people receiving treatment to improve.

I highly recommend Carol to everyone who wants to step outside of themselves, face their fears, process traumas, and heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I have always felt safe to express myself and I highly value her feedback immensely. Working with Carol has given me confidence, perspective, and has helped me increase my value and sense of self-worth. She has been the catalyst to help me move from survival mode into thrive mode. Her intelligent approach and skills with EMDR have been so valuable to me. I am thankful for her presence in my life!

It's taken me a few months to write this review- which reflects the amount of time it has and continues to take to process the negative and abusive experience I encountered while initiating therapy with Carol Seydewitz. I only saw her two times, but it was enough for me to know that what I was experiencing was not even close to being a therapeutic relationship.... and that I was, in fact, dealing with an incredibly judgmental, ill-assuming, pretentious narcissist. And I do say this with a strong medical background, as I am an Advanced Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in women's health and obstetrics and also pursuing a second board certification in psychiatric mental health. I am training in multiple psychotherapy modalities and can't imagine treating any of my patients the way I was treated... ever!! I had a bad feeling after the first phone call, but true to my personality, like to give people the benefit of the doubt. With each visit, her insidious, abusive nature became more apparent. I have now found an amazing therapist, and this new therapist offers a compassionate, non-judgemental sounding board, activities/practices that help me work through my struggles and inspires me in my future private practice in psych/mental health. I hope that by writing this... I save someone from the terrible experience of therapist trauma and feeling like there is no one out there to help you. There are therapists that practice what they preach, are compassionate, value you as a person (because you ARE important and amazing, no matter what you have going on), that are non-judgemental and will help you. You should NOT be afraid or uncomfortable around your therapist... that is a fear tactic to gain control. Hard pass on Carol Seydewitz and try others until you find the right person for you (because no matter who you are, I can tell you that she is not the right one). May you find peace, acceptance and love, dear friend.

For years I ve been trying to work up the courage to go to therapy. The fear of divulging your most personal life stories to a stranger is daunting. Finding the right person seems impossible, so I decided to make an appointment with Carol. Right when i walked in she asked how i felt. I said that i felt a little nervous and wasn t sure what to expect. She looked at me and her reply was Good. If you feel comfortable with your therapist then they aren t doing their job right . Again, i didn t have any set expectations going into the appointment since it was my first time, but what I experienced reinforced the terror of the idea that is therapy. It s taken me some time to reflect on how I feel that my session went. What I felt after the session was deep regret. I regretted opening up to someone who I should ve been able to trust. I felt judged, invalidated, and ashamed. If not for the encouragement of my support network I would not have given another therapist a chance.

They seemed very good until they stopped returning calls and would not schedule any more appointments. I'm sure getting ghosted by your therapist is healthy.

We were patients of Carol. We missed an appointment and although we are 100% sure it was her scheduling mistake the situation was not handled well. You could tell for sure that it was driven by money and that broke the trust immediately. She instantly turned rude and condescending. A year later I got a bill stating I owed money still which was quite a shock to me. After contacting them, I was informed that they had a new billing person because the last one did not do a very good job of keeping things straight. Turned out I did still owe and it wasn't what the statement showed. I was able to clear it up and paid my last bill. I will never return, but the silver lining was that the new billing lady was super nice and provided good customer service as she understood my frustration. That's the only reason for 2 stars. So in conclusion, 0/5 stars for Carol, 5/5 for the niceness of the new billing lady, 2/5 stars over all because I am still bitter. Mental health services should not be a money game but I guess that is the world we live in.
