Gals Institute, LLC offers more than you know for the community. They empower and help parents raise confident kiddos. AND NO! They are not just for girls. Gals Institute, LLC is for men, women, children, boys and girls! Let us discuss below. 

The Gals Institute, LLC
“We focus on PREVENTION... because we know that small problems can become BIG problems
(and it's always easier to solve small problems.)

We focus on HEALING...
because we know that life is hard, and everyone has challenges, and none of us does it alone.”

What is the Gals Institute, LLC?

I was wondering, too. So I met with Deanna Marincic, who is the founder and owner, back in December 2016. We sat down together at her office in Delafield (right next to Target – how handy!). Let me tell you – this woman is passionate about her clinic and our families that make up our community. Upon entering the lower level office that day, I immediately felt relaxed due to her welcoming personality and to the office’s relaxing teal hues and comfy, inviting couch. She then explained to me that the Gals Institute, LLC is a thriving clinic where families go for prevention programs and building of healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Fast forward to June 2018, and I again had the privilege to sit down with Deanna. She has taken her passion and made amazing action and positive changes in our communities. Plus, she’s moved offices. You’ll still find Gals by Target in Delafield, but she has expanded into a new space with a group room.

Fast forward to April 2019 when my daughter and I attended Gals’ first annual Mother/Daughter luncheon at the Oconomowoc Lake Club. Hearing from Toya Washington and speaking with her afterwards coupled with the passion that Deanna has for our families, made me pause and check my parenting. What’s going on with the “youth of today” starts with what’s going on inside your home; inside my home. I encourage you to check out the services and workshops that Gals offers and if nothing else, just take a moment to reflect on your parenting and relationship with your children, with your significant other, with your children’s relationship with each other. Much love to you all, because this parenting gig, ain’t no joke! Community and support is here for you and me.

Fast forward to February 2020 when ‘mental health’ was added to Lake Country Family Fun’s Top Healthcare Provider vote. Deanna and then therapist Becca Rosecky took second and third most voted mental health professional. Then in March 2020, my meeting with Deanna was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, GALS Institute pivoted. You can read Dee’s perspective from April 2020 HERE.
