We are so excited to announce that we have signed a lease on a beautiful space in Thomaston to open our SECOND LOCATION! Once again, we are opening in a rural area where there are very few existing supports for the queer community.
We will plan to begin seeing clients in this new location starting in late summer, and we are already accepting clients who are interested in joining our waiting list for the new location.
Interested clients can email our amazing admin, Devin, at devin@prismcounselingct.com
We cannot wait to expand our services to this new area of CT!

Group Counseling for Caregivers of LGBTQ+ Kids with JJ
This group will be a supportive and educational place for parents navigating the current social struggles and pressures of raising and loving their queer kids. In a world that works daily to erase them, parents are the most vital line of defense in keeping queer youth alive and well.
In this group, we will discuss challenges, share resources, and even learn about gender! Books and educational information will be provided to help parents reflect on their own relationship with Gender and their understandings. We will also share additional support resources.
Come as you are, and grow how you will! Starting January 13th at 6:15 pm, this group will run once monthly, meeting the second Tuesdays of each month.
$25/session private pay with sliding scale option, or use insurance if applicable.
Group Counseling for Gender Expansive Adults
This group is offered for adults who identify as gender expansive, or who may be questioning their gender identity, to connect twice a month and talk about whatever might be on their minds. Some sessions are open-structure and some are more structured with a focus on psychoeducation.
Our group meets on Fridays from 1-2pm at Prism, with an option to join via Zoom if needed. We meet twice per month, and schedule as we go. January meetings will be on January 9 and 23.
$25/session private pay with sliding scale option, or use insurance if applicable.
If this group seems like a good fit for you, we hope you will join us. Advanced registration is required.
