Mental Health Counseling Program

Program Details

For Dentists

The WDA and the WDA Foundation care about your mental well-being – both as a person and as a WDA member dentist. As a free member benefit, the Foundation offers WDA dentists up to four free mental health counseling sessions per year. Here’s a quick overview of how the program works:

  • Choose your own Wisconsin fully licensed mental health professional.
  • Attend your four sessions either in person or virtually. No need to check in with the Foundation beforehand.
  • The WDA Foundation will pay your provider up to a total of $750 for the four sessions.

Ask your provider to send the invoice to:

  • WDA Foundation, Attn: Mark Spiegelhoff, Executive Director, 6737 W. Washington Street, Suite 2360, West Allis, WI  53214 or email at mspiegelhoff@wda.org (email must be encrypted).
  • The WDA Foundation will not pay for no-shows, late or cancelled sessions.
  • Your name will be kept confidential from all individuals inside and outside the WDA Foundation. 
  • If you wish to continue your mental health counseling sessions after the fourth visit, you can self-pay or use your private health insurance coverage to pay for future visits.
  • You are eligible to use up to four mental health counseling sessions each year.

For Providers

  • Your Wisconsin state license number must appear on the invoice for services rendered. Treatment must be provided by a fully licensed Wisconsin mental health professional.

WDA/ADA members and dental students have free access to the Well-Being Index, a validated self-assessment tool invented by Mayo Clinic that measures multiple dimensions of distress and well-being, including quality of life, fatigue and burnout to:

  • Anonymously measure well-being in less than one minute
  • Predict risk of distress over six dimensions
  • Provide immediate resources to participants
  • Track progress over time
