AHM is proud to offer mental health clinical services to youth and their families. These services are designed to support families in transition, crisis, or normal developmental processes.

Family therapy is available to parents, couples and their family members to nurture change and development within the entire family system.  Family therapy is offered in conjunction with individual therapy.  Individual therapy is available for children & adolescents, to address emotional and/or behavioral problems. Sessions are offered once or multiple times per week based on the level or intensity required to stabilize and assist the person to improve their overall quality of life.

Our mental health assessments are the initial contacts with our clients. This sets the stage for continued services and determines recommended course of treatment. Each case is treated differently as no two individuals are the same.

Our skilled therapists specialize in the treatment of the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Reaching your potential
  • Using your strengths
  • Discipline strategies/parenting techniques
  • Family transition
  • General family support
  • School problems

School Resources for Parents

Questions about drugs and alcohol will inevitably come up during the school year as your son or daughter meets different friends, encounters unfamiliar social situations and is exposed to pop culture and media.

To help parents, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids has compiled a back to school survival guide to help equip children during this transition. Please take a look at this important resource.

We accept Connecticut Title XIX (HUSKY) and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Health Care, Cigna, United Behavioral Health, Optum Health, Oxford Insurance as a qualified method of payment for this service.

Please call the AHM office at 860-228-9488 to make an appointment with our clinical team.  If you have general questions about our clinical program, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If you are a new or returning patient, please download your intake packet and bring to your first visit.  You will also need to bring your insurance card and license with you.
