Support that fits your needs
Individual treatment gives you one-on-one time with a counselor to focus on your personal challenges and goals, helping you to improve your mental health and well-being.
We also help families work through problems together in a way that supports both children and adults. Our team gives you tools to feel better and handle life’s challenges using your family's own strengths.
Find support for healing
We offer many treatment groups to help you work on your mental health, relationships, and recovery. Some groups focus on topics like grief, managing emotions, trauma, and substance use, and there are groups for children and adolescents, adults, men, women, mixed genders, and all gender identities. No matter where you are in your healing journey, there’s a group ready to support you.
An integrated approach to care
If groups or individual behavioral health treatments aren't right for you, at Wheeler, you can receive behavioral health and addiction treatment right in your medical appointments, through specialized staff that work side-by-side with our medical providers to help address your overall health and wellness.
More support, keeping you at home
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) offer more help than regular counseling but let you keep living at home instead of an inpatient setting. You come several times a week for therapy, education, and support. IOPs help children and adults manage serious mental health or addiction problems while staying connected to family, school, or work.
Care for health and growth
Extended Day Treatment (EDT) helps young people who need extra support for mental health or behavioral challenges. It provides therapy, skill-building, and group activities after school in a safe, caring place. The program helps youth feel better, build confidence, and succeed at home, in school, and in the community.
New hope for tough symptoms
Esketamine is a nasal spray medicine used to treat severe depression that hasn’t improved with other treatments. It works differently than typical antidepressants and is given under medical supervision. Esketamine can help reduce symptoms and bring hope to people who have struggled for a long time.
A safe, drug-free option
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to help the brain work better. It can improve depression symptoms when other treatments haven’t worked. TMS is noninvasive, safe, and done in a doctor’s office without medicine or surgery.

For court-referred parents with active divorce, separation or custody cases
Wheeler's Parenting Education Program (PEP), funded by the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch Court Support Services Division, is designed for court-referred parents with active divorce, separation or custody cases in the Family Division of the Connecticut court system. The program educates parents about the many issues children face when the structure of the family changes. Wheeler has provided PEP services since the courts launched the program in 1995, serving more than 5,000 individuals.
Help for employees and employers
Wheeler’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps employees and their family members with personal challenges like stress or mental health needs. The program also provides advice and training to managers to improve workplaces. If your employer offers this program, you and your family can use these services to feel healthier, more supported, and ready to do your best at work.
Support at home and nearby
Wheeler offers dozens of community-based behavioral health programs funded by the Department of Children and Families, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and other public funders.
