About Us
MMBHS was founded by Gretchen & Jason Martinez in April of 2019 after seeing a deficit in
service providers for their own children in Kenosha County. Gretchen & Jason have more than
30 years of combined personal, educational, and professional experience in the mental health
field, making the transition to business owners and mental health providers an easy decision.
MMBHS has expanded over the years to include several service arrays in multiple counties
(Waukesha, Kenosha, Racine, & Walworth Counties in Wisconsin).
