We are pleased to share the opening of Behavioral Health Clinic in Marshfield. Behavioral Health Clinic has an excellent reputation within the Wausau area. We are happy to have new mental health assessment and care providers in the area, and are even more happy that they are in our previous office space at 601 E 3rd! https://wibehavioralhealth.com/

We have officially moved out of our building. If you need to get in touch with us, our phone number will remain active for the next 3 months at least for providers and patients to contact us for coordination of care, billing questions, or to get information on having records sent. We also have a Marshfield PO Box 552 for mail, and our wisemindmhc @ gmail will also be operational for the foreseeable future. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have created a practice we were proud of, and to have worked with so many wonderful people, whether they were patients, colleagues, or community members. Thank you for your support of our business through the years.

This is very good news. Creating a system which is similar to 911 for crisis is brilliant and needed.

Interesting article on the science of breathing and hyperarousal.

Scientists may have uncovered for the first time why taking deep breaths can be so calming.

The past few weeks of the coronavirus crisis have been especially taxing on our mental health. Here's why, and some advice on coping.

This is an interesting perspective on pandemic fatigue by a neuroscientist. The mind tires of not having its normal routine.

The first step is to understand that it’s not just about exhaustion or tiredness or depleting a mental resource

We are getting a few questions about when we will return to in person visits. This article has a good deal of analysis and detail about relative risk for virus transmission in different environments. When you consider this info in light of each therapy hour in a closed environment, it's likely to be a while. Stay safe!

It seems many people are breathing some relief, and I’m not sure why. An epidemic curve has a relatively predictable upslope and once the peak is reached, the back slope can also be predicted. We have robust data from the outbreaks in China and Italy, that shows the backside of the mortality curve...

One of the consequences of only doing telehealth visits is that our waiting room magazines continue to arrive, but are for the most part unread. The April 27 TIME magazine's main theme is "Finding Hope." The initial shock of the quarantine has subsided some, and most of us are starting to settle into some sort of pattern. The magazine covers most of the standard self care strategies, try to get into a routine, stay connected, take care of your physical health. This is a time when we need some light, some hope. Try to find some small things that bring contentment or humor. Stay informed, but resist immersing yourself in every painful or conflict ridden news story. Find one thing a day that relieves the tension and gives hope to you or someone you care about.

More than 50 members of the TIME 100 community provided insights on navigating the new realities of the COVID-19 pandemic

This is a great opportunity to connect with one of the leading researchers and teachers in mindfulness. Note that you do need to register ahead of time, and the event will be on Wed, March 25 at 3 pm Central time. Good information for these trying times.

Join us for a unique online session with author, scientist, and mindfulness teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn.

We have been working hard to find alternative ways of meeting with people. We do have a platform set up for telehealth, and both of us have been able to have some sessions this week. Information about insurance companies who have adjusted telemedicine requirements has been trickling in, so we are calling patients to see what what we can figure out. It is not the same as in person meetings, but after about 10 minutes, it seems like we can settle in and get to the core concerns. And I've had the experience of meeting several pets (and a few ceiling fans). We'll try and post some more resources, but if you're a current patient, feel free to contact us about appointments if you don't already have one set up.
