Providing quality, specialized, and competent care while creating more access for all.
About Avenues Counseling, LLC
Avenues Counseling, LLC was established in January, 2017 by Megan Schilt, LPC. Seven months later, Angie Douglas, LPC joined Avenues Counseling, LLC as a partner and the collaboration began. We worked together to build a mental and behavioral health practice on the foundation of values including integrity, authenticity, collaboration, and balance. Working in community and clinic settings in the Dane, Rock, and Green County areas gave us the opportunity to witness many of the common challenges and barriers to quality mental and behavioral healthcare. We wanted to create more access for people in our rural community while providing quality, affordable, specialty care for mental and behavioral health issues for all ages and populations. We created a vision together and we started working with people and agencies within the community to make our vision a reality.
After about a year of working toward our vision, Avenues Counseling, LLC had outgrown its office space and began renovations for an office expansion. At the same time the physical space was expanding, the practice itself continued to grow with two employees, Dan Doden, LPC, and Emily Rufenacht, LMFT, coming on board in the fall of 2018 to create a strong team of therapists. As of March 1st, 2019, Emily Rufenacht, LMFT is stepping up as a partner at Avenues Counseling, LLC to join in the collaboration and continued expansion as Avenues brings on an office manager in the spring of 2019 and transitions two additional therapists into the practice over the course of the spring and summer of 2019. Meanwhile, community partnerships continue to blossom in the service of creating more access for individuals and families in the Green County and surrounding areas. We strongly believe in collaboration with the community as well as with the people whom we see in our practice.
At the present time, we are continuing to grow our practice and expand our services to accommodate the mental and behavioral health needs of our community. We offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy for ages 4 and older. Avenues Counseling, LLC has continued our commitment to creating more access for quality care by contracting with a number of insurance panels to provide in-network services for as many as possible. While we specialize in many areas and are able to work with a wide variety of presenting problems, we strongly believe in quality, ethical, and competent care. Therefore, we practice transparency in this regard, and if we are not able to meet specific needs, we work with people to get them connected with the appropriate care for their specific presenting issue(s).
It is an honor and a privilege to serve the Green County community. We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those who walk through our doors, as well as the greater community and all who live within it.
