Mend Counseling offers telehealth therapy for people living anywhere in Wisconsin. You'll be heard, your feelings validated, and your values honored — from the comfort of your own home.
Sessions run on SimplePractice — encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video, with your records stored securely. No commute, no waiting room.

Home, office, or cabin up north — anywhere in Wisconsin.
Getting support should feel simple — and human
We aim to remove the stigma around mental health through open, nonjudgmental conversation. Throughout your time with us, you can trust three things:
You will be heard
Your feelings validated, your values honored — at your pace, without judgment.
New perspectives & coping skills
Offered and built with you, session by session — practical tools for real life.
Goals set by you
Actionable goals generated by you — we help you foster a sense of purpose in your community.
Starting is easier than you think
Three steps between you and your first session — no referral, no office visit.
Book a free consultation
Start with a free 15-minute consultation with Jonathon Jacobs. We’ll talk through what you’re looking for and how we can help — no commitment, no pressure.
We check your coverage
Before your first session, we verify your insurance benefits for you — including checking HMO plans — so there are no surprises about cost.
Get connected with your clinician
Based on your consultation, we’ll connect you with in-network clinicians who are best suited to your needs, and give you options to choose from — so you can pick the clinician who feels right.
Care for individuals, couples & families
Traditional talk therapy by secure video, plus medication management — all from home. Each service has its own page, so you can read about exactly what you’re looking for.

Insurance & rates, in the open
No surprises: here are the plans we work with and exactly what self-pay costs.
Don’t see your plan? Many insurers reimburse for mental health services — ask yours whether you’re entitled to reimbursement. We’ll gladly provide invoices you can submit; we just can’t guarantee they’ll be accepted in full or in part.
Self-pay rates
Posted plainly, so you can plan before you book.
Talk therapy
Medication management
“Helping individuals foster a sense of purpose within their community.”
That’s the heart of Mend — and because every session is by secure video, that community can be anywhere in Wisconsin — like this quiet lake at sunrise, above.
Questions, answered
Do I have to live near an office?
No. Mend is a telehealth practice — if you reside anywhere in the state of Wisconsin, you can meet with our clinicians from home. There’s no office to drive to.
Is video therapy private and secure?
Yes. We use SimplePractice for storing protected health information and for encrypted video sessions that meet HIPAA privacy requirements for digital health care.
What does it cost if I don’t use insurance?
Our self-pay rates are posted above: individual sessions are $135, couples $145, and family sessions $165, with medication management priced separately. No hidden fees.
When are clinicians available?
Our general office hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm. Most clinicians see clients during those hours, and some also offer evening and weekend appointments. To check a clinician’s availability, start with a free 15-minute consultation and we’ll connect you with clinicians who fit your needs and have openings — or call us at 920-234-6842.
What if I’m in crisis right now?
Mend Counseling is not an emergency mental health service. If you need immediate crisis care, please call 911 or the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 — help is available 24/7.
You don’t have to be at your worst to ask for support.
If you’re feeling stuck, that’s enough. Browse our clinicians and take the first step today — from wherever in Wisconsin you call home.
