History
EmployAbility was established in 2014 by Andrea Mitchell, originally focusing on providing vocational services to individuals with various types of disabilities. As the organization evolved, we recognized the need for specialized support and made it a priority to become a leader in services for those with mental health diagnoses. While vocational rehabilitation remains our primary service, we have expanded our offerings to include the EmpowerAbility program, which integrates mental health counseling. This program reflects our commitment to addressing the holistic needs of our clients and enhancing their overall well-being.
Mission Statements
The primary mission of EmployAbility: Employment and Housing Solutions is to continually embrace individual rights to self-determination by facilitating access to resource-leveling methods of empowerment and provide a holistic approach to employment support services. To also strive towards social justice and equality for disenfranchised members of Dane County with the expectation that all people deserve access to basic needs such as sustainable income and safe, affordable housing.
At EmpowerAbility: Counseling and Psychoeducation, our mission is to empower people to unlock their inherent strengths and resources through solution-focused counseling. We are dedicated to creating a compassionate and collaborative environment where clients can set clear goals, explore challenges, and discover actionable strategies for meaningful change. We believe in the power of positive psychology and the importance of focusing on solutions rather than problems, facilitating a transformative journey toward resilience and growth. Our commitment is to support each client in achieving their desired outcomes, fostering hope, and enriching their quality of life. Together, we will navigate the path to a brighter future.
