Anesis Therapy stands as a premier sanctuary for mental wellness, thoughtfully designed for those seeking exceptional mental health care in a space where they can truly be themselves. We specialize in providing top-tier mental health services specifically attuned to the experiences and needs of people of color, while making quality care accessible to all. In our warm and welcoming environment, every individual's story, identity, and journey is honored and celebrated.

At Anesis Therapy, we believe everyone deserves to be seen and honored fully within their community. Each person who walks through our doors is welcomed as both an individual and as someone deeply connected to their cultures, faiths, and families. We understand that healing happens not just individually, but collectively—as we honor these vital connections and relationships that shape us. The recognition of our interconnectedness is at the heart of what we do at Anesis.

Many of us at Anesis have experienced first-hand the harms of racist and oppressive mental health systems, and we are on a mission to change this: we actively work to never pathologize or criminalize our clients or their mental health concerns. We seek to understand our clients within their social, economic and political contexts, never losing sight of each clients’ inherent worth. 

Founded in 2016 by Myra McNair, Anesis Therapy is bringing more culturally sensitive, visionary mental health care to Dane County. 

We are a state-certified DHS clinic that provides mental health, substance abuse and case management services. 

Our staff is racially, culturally, sexually and linguistically reflective of the communities we serve. We bring our lived insight, generational wisdom, community knowledge, and clinical experiences into all aspects of our work. We meet our clients where they are, and together chart a course for healing that is supportive, accessible, creative and joyous!

Services are provided in English, Spanish, and Hmong.
