Care across every part of Connecticut
One Practice, the Whole State
Wherever you are in Connecticut, the care is the same: a full evaluation, 60 to 90 minutes, that looks at how your brain and body are working together, and a plan you help design. Appointments run 6:00 PM – midnight ET. You need to be physically in Connecticut at the time of each session; anywhere in the state works.
For College Students
Connecticut is full of college towns, from New Haven, Middletown and New London to Storrs, Willimantic and Hartford. Evening visits fit around classes, and care can focus on focus, sleep, exam stress and the adjustment to life away from home. If you are covered on a parent's plan from another state, Blue Cross Blue Shield plans from other states are accepted.
