The mission of Prism Counseling and Support LLC is to help LGBTQ+ individuals navigate the coming out or gender transition process in order to fully realize and celebrate their authentic selves, and to help their families and loved ones learn how to best support and affirm them in this process.​
We offer individual counseling for LGBTQ+ youth and adults, family counseling for families of LGBTQ+ individuals and support groups for LGBTQ+ youth and adults and parents of LGBTQ+ youth. We also provide professional development training for school staff and professional organizations in order to educate them about the issues facing LGBTQ+ individuals and how to create safe working and learning environments for all.

Chocolate tasting for trans kids and teens!
Join Jillian and friends on Sept. 14 for a super fun field trip to Fascia's Chocolates in Waterbury!
​
The Chocolate Experience: Tours take place in our own private Presentation Room where,
through a multi-media and interactive session, we learn about the origins of chocolate and how it
gets from Bean to Bar and then from Bar to Box. Tastings and demonstrations, including a
behind-the-scenes look into the factory via remote controlled camera, complete the experience.
You will have the opportunity to make your own chocolate bar with toppings of your choice!
