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 three years ago 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 a group 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 treating 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 six 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). These partnerships help with therapist access and the minimization of missed school or work. After 4-5 individual appointments with your child, we schedule a family session to keep you informed.
