Welcome to Comprehensive Psychiatric Care of Connecticut

Part of what distinguishes CPC from other outpatient mental health facilities is the multitude of treatment options clients can access. Below is a list of the various services CPC offers its clients.  If you have any further questions about the services that CPC offers, please contact the office at 860.886.1508. We welcome all clients from all backgrounds at CPC.

Psychiatric Evaluation

Sometimes patients are unsure as to if they need medication or therapy as a form of treatment. In these cases, we offer initial diagnostic assessment. Assessments are usually conducted in 1-2 sessions, after which the provider can give feedback.

Usually patients will want to know if they meet the criteria for a specific diagnosis, and if so, there is interest in hearing recommendations for treatment. CPC is able to offer diagnostic assessments, and we have provided documentation for patients upon request. 

Adult Psychotherapy

Individual therapy is used to treat mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), Mood Disorder, PTSD, and spectrum disorders. It can also be very helpful for people undergoing major life transitions, grief/loss, or family/relationship issues.

Common therapies are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Exposure Based Therapy.  Our clinicians are trained in a variety of these treatment modalities.

Child Psychotherapy

A child’s age determines the developmental challenges he/she is faced with. Working through and mastering these challenges forms the basis for development. Children strive to progress through each stage, but often face unseen disruptions.  

Delayed progress leads to frustration between parents and children. The goal is to get children on track and to return them to normal development. We succeed by working with the child in individual therapy, but also maintaining close contact with the parents.

Psychopharmacology

Proper medication management can significantly reduce mental health symptoms and improve quality of life. Medication is used to treat a wide range of mental health issues including: anxiety, depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia, and insomnia.

Medical director Dr. M. Okasha, MD has been practicing for over 35 years, and has experience successfully treating a wide range of mental health issues. Megan Klein, CS, APRN are also a part of our medical team, both with a great deal of experience and expertise in the treatment of mental health.

Couples Counseling

Being in a relationship, whether new or with a good deal of history, comes with challenges. Couples counseling can help relationships heal. Very often, there are difficulties in communication between individuals in the relationship. This can leave partners feeling isolated, or resentful. Another common issue is that of equality and balance. These issues are complex, and couple’s often find themselves stuck in patterns of behavior which can drive them further apart. Couple’s counseling can help improve communication, especially with regards to important emotional experiences, in efforts to bridge the divide. CPC welcomes all couples to our practice, and we are LGBTQ friendly. 

Family Therapy

Being a part of a family means being in close and oftentimes complicated relationships with family members. Family bonds can be incredible sources of strength, love, and resilience. At the same time, family relationships are complicated, and intense.

Family therapy offers a safe forum for members to come together and openly discuss issues that arise in the course of family life. Issues can range from substance abuse, divorce, loss, trauma, or sibling/parent conflict. Having an experienced therapist to guide family members throughout the process can be a valuable asset to strengthening family relationships.

Parental Consultation

Sometimes helping children means helping parents first. Even under the most stable of conditions, parenting can be an enormously challenging task. This challenge only becomes greater when families confront challenges due to unforeseen life events, physical or mental health issues, loss of family members or shifts in family structure.  While working with children through individual or family therapy can be beneficial, there are times where parental consultation can also prove highly effective.  At CPC, we offer parental consultation as either an addition to individual or family therapy, or as a stand alone service for those interested.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a rich platform for positive change and emotional healing. Very often, groups are organized around a particular theme or population (i.e., substance use, trauma recovery). Groups are structured in order to allow for patients with similar experiences to become connected. Individuals with mental health issues often feel isolated with their problems. Groups allow for patients to experience first hand that they are not alone with their struggles. For many, this can be an incredibly supportive and eye opening experience.

At CPC, we believe in innovative, evidence-based treatment and delivering a thoughtful approach to care. One of the ways we do this is by using a practice called Measurement-based Care (MBC). With MBC, our clients take questionnaires before their first intake, and then between visits. Your provider gets a feedback report before each session detailing changes to your symptoms and progress on your treatment goals. Together, you and your provider use those results to tailor the your treatment, emphasizing what works and eliminating what doesn’t.

Research shows that MBC improves therapy outcomes. By helping clients contribute to their own therapeutic goals, it also increases treatment engagement and retention. MBC is a proven research-backed practice and our providers use this approach because they are committed to best practices for care.

Our platform for MBC is called Mirah – a personalized assessment tool. Clients can access Mirah’s web-based platform from anywhere at any time for assessments. Most importantly, patient privacy is central to all we do and Mirah conforms to the highest security standards as a HIPPA Compliant and Security Certified organization.

The Mirah platform also includes 65+ assessments in Spanish across various clinical dimensions.
