Our Vision
“Meeting you where you are, and assisting you in getting to where you want to be.”
At The Bridges Wellness Group (BWG), we believe that wellness is more than the absence of illness. It is the ability to live with purpose, resilience, and hope. Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based behavioral healthcare while supporting individuals, families, organizations, and communities in achieving lasting wellness.
Founded on the belief that healing is most effective when the whole person is considered, we integrate traditional psychotherapy with a holistic approach that recognizes the connection between mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being. We strive to create an environment where every client feels valued, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.
As our organization has grown, so has our commitment to serving our communities in new and innovative ways. Today, The Bridges Wellness Group is more than a behavioral health practice. We are a provider of mental health services, a government contracting and consulting partner, a workforce development organization, and the home of the Grounded and Free methodology. Through each of these areas, we remain committed to our vision of meeting people where they are and assisting them in getting to where they want to be.
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Services
The Bridges Wellness Group provides comprehensive behavioral health services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, veterans, and organizations. Our experienced clinicians develop individualized treatment plans that are tailored to each client's unique needs, goals, and life experiences.
We offer evidence-based counseling services designed to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, and a variety of other behavioral health needs. Whether services are provided in person or through secure telehealth appointments, our focus remains the same: delivering compassionate, high-quality care that promotes healing, personal growth, and long-term wellness.
Recognizing that many individuals benefit from both therapy and psychiatric care, The Bridges Wellness Group partners with Amber Health Care and Healthwell NP to provide access to psychiatric evaluations and medication management. This integrated approach allows our clients to receive coordinated behavioral healthcare through a collaborative team of licensed therapists and psychiatric providers, ensuring continuity of care and comprehensive treatment when medication is appropriate.

Grounded and Free
The Bridges Wellness Group is proud to introduce Grounded and Free: A Practical Guide to Sobriety and Building a Life You Can Stay In.
Grounded and Free was developed by Dr. M. Nickleson Battle, Jr. and Dr. Latonia Laffitte to help individuals better understand behavioral patterns, strengthen decision-making, and build sustainable sobriety.
Grounded and Free is more than a book. It is a structured methodology that includes educational resources, facilitator training, professional certification, workshops, video-based learning, and organizational implementation.
The methodology is designed for individuals working toward sobriety, as well as facilitators, peer counselors, clinicians, mental health professionals, recovery professionals, and organizations that support people experiencing substance use and behavioral health challenges.
