At Journey, we’ve always been driven by a commitment to meet people where they are and make mental health care accessible, dignified, and real.
To be recognized again as Best Mental Health Services in Madison - for the third year in a row - is both meaningful and affirming. It tells us that our community sees the heart of our work: connecting people to care, one relationship at a time.
This award is more than a title. It reflects the trust our neighbors place in us - from the person reaching out for therapy in Madison for the first time, to the families supported by our crisis teams, to the schools and community partners who call on us to walk alongside them.
Every program, every staff member, every team at Journey who serves our community is part of that recognition. Our outpatient therapy team, culturally specific programs like Clinica Latina and Ujima, our 24/7 crisis line staff, and the many other teams that make up our continuum of care all share the same goal: to make quality mental health care accessible to everyone in Dane County.
We’re proud to be part of this city’s story - for over 75 years we’ve been providing mental health and substance use recovery programs for our community. As we celebrate this community recognition, we’re also looking ahead to:
Expanding access to outpatient therapy and psychiatry in Madison, so more people can find care that fits their life and insurance.
Strengthening partnerships with schools, clinics, and local organizations to uphold the social service safety net for folks in need.
Continuing our commitment to evidence-based, trauma-informed, culturally grounded care across every program we offer.
For us, “Best in Madison” isn’t a finish line - it’s a reminder of why we began.
To everyone who voted, partnered, or trusted us with their care: thank you for believing in our mission. Together, we’ll keep building a Dane County where mental health care is accessible, human, and here for everyone.
