West Meadow Counseling

West Meadow Counseling, PC is a mental health private practice that was founded in 2010. We are dedicated to providing psychotherapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults in Ellington, Connecticut, and surrounding towns. Our main goal is to improve the lives of individuals, couples, and families who have been affected by life's challenges. We achieve this by using various treatment modalities and therapeutic techniques to help our clients learn more about themselves and develop coping skills to achieve their goals.

Our Services

At West Meadow Counseling, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. These include:

1. Individual Therapy: Our team of experienced therapists work with children, adolescents, and adults to address issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADD/ADHD, and more.

2. Couples Therapy: We provide counseling for couples to help them navigate relationship issues, improve communication, and strengthen their bond.

3. Family Therapy: Our family therapy services aim to help families resolve conflicts, improve communication, and foster a more supportive environment.

4. Group Therapy: We offer group therapy sessions for individuals who benefit from sharing experiences and learning from others in a similar situation.

5. Play Therapy: For younger clients, we use play therapy to help them express and process their emotions in a comfortable and non-threatening manner.

Insurance and Payment

West Meadow Counseling accepts Medicaid and most commercial insurances. However, we do not provide in-house insurance verification. We ask our clients to contact their insurance company to learn about their behavioral health benefits. Payment is expected at the time of service, and we accept cash, personal check, VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and HSA Cards. Please note that this practice collects contracted rates at the time of service where deductibles have not been met.

Cancellation Policy

We require 24 hours advance notice for cancellation of an appointment. This allows us to fill the session time with another client. Missed appointments and appointments not cancelled within the 24-hour notice will incur a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is waived if the missed session is due to an emergency.
