DROP-IN CLINICS

Mt. Zion Baptist Church Drop-in Clinics

Anesis works alongside Mt. Zion Baptist Church to provide weekly walk-in services. The primary goal is to provide free mental health care services for the Madison community. Each location has a mental health counselor, substance abuse counselor and a crisis stabilization case manager. Our drop-in clinics are open to anyone who lives in Dane County.


During the COVID-19 Pandemic numbers of people seeking mental health services increased. Anesis partnered with local churches in Madison and Dane County Human Services to create free drop-in services for the community. Right now there are two drop-in clinics in Madison at Mt. Zion Baptist Church and Anesis Therapy Center. You can find location details below.

Common Questions

  • No. These services are for anyone in the Dane County area.

  • No appointments are needed. Waiting for an appointment or a waitlist can be hard. Sometimes the problem changes or it can exacerbate before your first appointment. This drop-in clinic is made to get people into services as soon as possible. So when you’re ready you can come.

  • Currently, we have Spanish services available at our West Side drop-in clinic.

  • At each location we have a Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor, Crisis Stabilization Case Manager and a Licensed Therapist.

  • Sessions are 30 minutes long.

  • You can attend up to four to six therapy sessions at the drop in clinic. You and your therapist will collaborate to see if you need more services. If more services are needed a referral to our outpatient clinic will be made. You will be able to utilize the drop-in clinic until your first appointment.
