Who Are We? Gals Institute is a collaborative group of licensed clinicians providing therapy services, resiliency building workshops, one day events, and support groups in the Lake Country Area. Owner and founder, Deanna Marincic MSW LCSW, opened the doors over 3 years ago with a goal to provide prevention programs and research-based therapy, by caring providers that specialize in working with the family system. We have grown our team to having today a team of 13 providers. Our team consists of clinical and in-training licensed therapists who bring an incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise in their care for families. Additional clinical team members include a registered licensed dietician and all of our clients have access to our Mental Health Prescriber (NP). Our Therapists
Therapy Services As licensed therapists, we specialize in the treatment of a wide variety of challenges and growth opportunities, and are proud to collaborate with other businesses that support our mission. Gals Institute is the proud mental health provider to 6 contracted school districts in Waukesha County, including: Oconomowoc Area School District, Kettle Moraine School District, Pewaukee School District, North Lake School District, Richmond School District and Swallow Elementary School. After an initial assessment in our office, we can see your child at school if you wish (contact us for details and availability). This helps with access and the minimization of missed school or work. After 4-5 individual appointments with your child, we schedule a family session with the intention of keeping you informed. Therapy Services
Events & Workshops We create a fun, hands-on learning environment while planting positive seeds of encouragement, confidence and healthy self-esteem in girls and boys. We invite you to take a closer look to see if any of our upcoming workshops or groups interest your child or family. Every workshop is different so be sure to consider each separate event! We have a variety of materials and activities that will provide continued positivity in your child’s life.
Gals on the Go Project Gals Institute is continually growing to meet the needs of the community, and now has a sister foundation, Gals on the Go Project (GOTGP). GOTGP provides the above mentioned resiliency based workshops/events into local schools and organizations. We raise money to provide individual scholarships and grants to schools, in order to meet the demand of socio-emotional needed support to all. If you wish to sponsor a child and support our mission, you can make a tax deductible donation to Gals on the Go Project.
