Psychiatry and Medication Management

Connected Care Means Better Outcomes

We all know mental health concerns deserve the same urgency as physical ones, but they’re often treated as two completely separate issues. This can lead to miscommunication, misunderstandings — and poorer health overall.

That’s why Wellpoint Care Network now provides Psychiatry and Medication Management services as part of a comprehensive approach to wellness, ensuring that a child’s medication decisions are informed by their full therapeutic journey. Our goal is always to work collaboratively with families to determine the most appropriate, effective approach to care. 

Working Collaboratively to Heal

Wellpoint Care Network’s Psychiatry and Medication Management services are part of a holistic, trauma-informed approach that supports the emotional, behavioral and developmental needs of children and youth. They may be recommended as part of a broader treatment plan to help address conditions such as:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma-related symptoms
  • Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Other mental health concerns

Schedule an Appointment

Our Medication Management services are led by Dr. Gary Schnell, who works with us closely to take a comprehensive approach to care, ensuring that medication decisions are informed by a child’s full therapeutic journey. Families interested in learning more about these services or scheduling an appointment with Dr. Schnell can contact our Clinic team using their preferred contact method.

Gary Schnell M.D.

Medical Director and Psychiatrist

Gary Schnell is a married father of three. He attended the Medical College of Wisconsin and obtained his medical degree in 1983. He subsequently completed a residency in psychiatry and a fellowship in child psychiatry through the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. Gary is board certified as both an adult and a child and adolescent psychiatrist. He subsequently worked in a successful private practice for 33 years before pursuing semi-retirement in 2021. He has since worked at two County facilities on a part-time basis.

Family is very important to Gary. His family experiences has shaped his pursuit and practice of psychiatry and child psychiatry. He has been married for 49 years. It was his three young children who inspired him to become a child psychiatrist. He loved watching them develop and grow. He now loves watching his four grandchildren develop and grow.

Gary’s spiritual life is also very important to him. He pursues a meditative lifestyle and is involved in the Milwaukee Mindfulness Center, while attending an interdenominational church. He has written two books in an effort to understand the unification of science and spirituality and the interconnectedness of all people. His most recent book is entitled, “Science and Spirituality: Two Sides of the Same Coin.”
