No referral is needed to schedule with American Behavioral Clinics. You can call 414-877-4570 and book directly. Some insurance plans, especially HMOs, require a referral from your primary care provider for coverage, so it is worth confirming with your plan first. If your doctor or therapist did send a referral, bring it to your first appointment.

Same-day and next-day appointments are often available for new patients who complete their intake paperwork in advance. Both in-person and virtual openings are offered across our Southeast Wisconsin clinics. Call 414-877-4570 and our team will find the soonest opening with a provider who fits your needs.

American Behavioral Clinics accepts all major insurance plans. We verify your benefits and give you an estimate of your costs before your first visit, and payment for any copay, coinsurance, or deductible is due at the time of service. If you do not have coverage, self-pay pricing is available. See our accepted insurance list for details.

It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Sessions take under 20 minutes and run on weekdays over several weeks. TMS is available at select American Behavioral Clinics locations and is covered by most major insurers when criteria are met. See our TMS therapy page for current locations and what to expect.
