✨ We’re excited to welcome a new therapist to our practice! ✨ Meet Mari Hogan, LCSW!
With 19 years of clinical experience and a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University (Class of 2007), she brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and real-world expertise to our team. Here’s her bio:

“I will work with you to develop personal growth, which will lead to a greater sense of well-being, whether your goal is to achieve more balance in your life, or need support through significant life events. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, in which the client and therapist work together to formulate the best treatment approach to suit each individual. I help adults, parents, couples, and college students overcome life’s most challenging dilemmas. We work through trauma, communication struggles, people-pleasing behaviors, and mental health concerns. I believe that we all have the internal resources and resiliency to get through tough times, and I will help you find that within yourself. I value humor, warmth, and create a friendly, client-centered approach. I enjoy building a positive rapport with my clients.”
Now accepting new clients:
Tuesdays: 10am–7pm
Fridays: 10am–5pm
(Additional availability coming soon on Wednesdays & Thursdays!).

Life doesn’t ask if we’re ready before the splash hits.
But something powerful happens when we face uncertainty together,
fear turns into laughter faster when we aren’t alone.
Connection helps us survive the waves.

Connecticut Counseling Center is here to help you survive your waves.

She walks slowly toward them.
Curious. Gentle.
And still, they fly away.
Not because she’s bad.
Not because she did something wrong.
But because closeness requires safety.
Relationships are like that too.
If we move too fast, too loud, too intense
people scatter.
Connection isn’t forced.
It’s built through safety, pacing, and attunement.
Slow is secure.

You think you know what’s coming.
Then joy surprises you.
Some of the best moments in childhood and adulthood arrive unplanned, unscheduled, and completely unexpected.
Play reminds us life isn’t only meant to be managed.
It’s meant to surprise us too.

Parents often look like they’re just doing chores.
But in the background, they’re building childhood.
The work adults do quietly creates the spaces where joy happens.
Love sometimes looks like preparation
making the soft place before the leap.

She falls a little.
He’s already there.
Security isn’t never falling,
it’s knowing someone will steady you when you do.
This is how confidence is built:
not through perfection, but through reliable support.
We learn bravery when someone consistently has us.

When people feel consistently supported, confidence grows naturally.
That’s the power of secure relationships.

We couldn’t tell you the last time Joel had openings! 😂 Joel has been part of the CCC community for years, starting with us as an intern and growing into the thoughtful, grounded clinician many of our clients know today.
Joel earned his Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University of New England and brings a multicultural perspective to his work. He integrates approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and Gottman-informed couples work to support both individuals and couples.
He works with clients ages 14 and up and has a particular passion for supporting men’s mental health. Joel has a natural ability to build genuine rapport with his clients, helping people feel comfortable, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
We’re grateful to have Joel on the team and proud to have watched him grow into the clinician he is today. 💙.
