FAQ

From Hopmeadow Street: Make a right or left (depending on what direction you are coming from) onto Phelps Lane. At the first stop sign, make a right onto Railroad Street. Then, make your first right onto Station Street. On the right side of the street are Welden Hardware and the Second Chance Shop.

Parking: You can park on either Station Street or a parking lot on your left.

Entering for an appointment: On the right side of Second Chance Shop, there is a white door with #14. Would you please enter through that door and go up the stairs? Connecticut Integrative Counseling is the second door on the right – Suite 206.

With all potential clients, I like to have a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit and answer any questions you have. Please reach out to me by phone, or the appointment scheduler to schedule a phone consultation.

If you don’t know where to start and how to find out if a therapist is a good fit, read this blog on what questions to ask and how to gain more insight into the process.

I work with ages 19 to 85.

No, I do not. I have worked in multiple clinical mental health settings (inpatient, outpatient, specialty clinics), where active suicidal ideation or attempts and self-injurious behavior were common mental health challenges that were treated. I have a lot of experience previous to private practice helping individuals who had active suicidal ideation or self-injurious behavior.  When I worked with individuals with these mental health challenges, in order for treatment and therapy to be highly effective, most individuals needed a lot of time and sometimes emergency intervention. My private practice schedule is not equipped to handle the extra attention or emergency intervention that is needed for these mental health challenges.
