Wellhouse Mind and Body Center is a first-of-its-kind integrative mental health and wellness practice coming to Oakdale, California — a rural community in the heart of the Central Valley where residents have long driven an hour or more simply to access basic mental health care, if they could access it at all.

The problem Wellhouse exists to address is both urgent and deeply personal. Rural communities like ours face a compounding mental health crisis — limited providers, no integrative care options, underserved veterans, families in crisis, and individuals struggling with substance use who are too often turned away before they even begin. Wellhouse was built to change that.

Founded by Katelyn Wells, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, mother of three, and partner to a U.S. Army veteran, Wellhouse offers individual, couples, family, and group therapy alongside EMDR, somatic therapy, dance movement therapy, yoga, and massage — bringing evidence-based mental health treatment and holistic wellness under one roof for the very first time in our region.

Wellhouse is woman-owned and veteran-affiliated. We will never turn away a veteran. We will never turn away someone in recovery. And we will never turn away anyone who simply wants to better themselves — because that desire alone is reason enough to walk through our doors.

The name Wellhouse is a reflection of our deepest belief — that our bodies are our forever homes, and we must keep them well. We are building that home for our community, one client at a time.

We believe healing happens when people feel safe, supported, and seen as whole human beings.
