CT Psych Now
Counseling Services in Cromwell, Connecticut
About
At CT Psych Now, we strive to provide high quality Counseling, that's easy to access, when you need it most.
CT Psych Now started because I wanted to help people. I wanted to help people in the moments they need it most. I wanted to be there for them when they had a bad day, when they felt sad, and when they were overwhelmed. So I started CT Psych Now to do just that- to help people when they truly need it. To provide Counseling within hours of their difficult time.
But, that wasn't it. I wanted to create a place where people could come and, with ease, be connected to a trusted Counselor. I wanted to make it simple and easy to access. I quickly found out, that my clients and other Counselors agreed. So it's a win-win. We feel privileged to help you when it really matters.
