Who should seek services with us? Individuals, Couples, and Families
Jean and her associates are trained to work with people as individuals and as part of their relational systems. We carefully assess every client/client system for individual, interpersonal, and systemic factors to get a better understanding of the problem and more effectively work with you towards solutions. All ages
We have experience working with clients as young as 2 and as old as late 60’s! "How can you do therapy with a 2-year-old?" you might ask… Well each child receives a combination of individual and family treatment, depending on their age, development, and goals for therapy. Clients with a variety of issues and disorders
We treat individuals and families struggling with adoption, behavioral disturbances, parenting, domestic violence, grief, anger management, anxiety, phobias, AD/HD, autism spectrum disorders (ASD),family conflict, infertility, bipolar, depression, divorce, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), mental retardation and developmental delays, peer relationships, low self-esteem, trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sexual dysfunction, LGBTQ2 issues, traumatic brain injury (TBI), bullying, insomnia, personality disorders, stress, unemployment, as well as spirituality and cultural issues. Payment Options
We are in-network with MHN and a few other insurances, but are happy to bill your insurance for out-of network benefits. For those who don’t have or don’t want to use their insurance, we offer self-pay and sliding-scale fee options. We accept multiple payment forms including cash, checks, and credit cards (MC, Visa, and Discover). Some services, such as treatment outside of our offices, may incur additional fees. Our goal is to make therapy accessible and affordable for everyone, so please call Jean at (860) 861-1453 to discuss how we can fit your lifestyle and your budget!

Our longest tenured therapy dog, Lily, crossed the rainbow bridge. Making new friends at the office and bringing comfort to clients was one of her life's greatest joys!!

Mom here to share some very sad news...
Today would have been Lily's 15th birthday. Unfortunately, she had a sudden decline on the night of May 7th. She had a bunch of testing and ultimately an ultrasound found a mass on one of her adrenal glands (not operable) and a clot in the artery to that kidney. So we made the sad decision to let her go on Monday, May 8th.
To have met Lily was to love her sweet and gentle soul. Through her work as a therapy dog, she helped many people and some of them in profound ways. Lily even brought joy to other clients at the practice as she greeted everyone who came in the office (and begged for butt scratches or belly rubs) when she wasn't in a session with me. She was in semi-retirement when she passed, only coming in one day a week, but going to the office still brought her great joy.
I know it's cliché, but Lily truly was a one-of-a-kind dog and will be missed by many, including me, for the rest of my days.
