Behavioral health

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.

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.

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.

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.

Offered in our New Britain Family Health & Wellness Center, this is a flexible, person-centered level of care designed to support individuals who may have traditionally qualified for Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) but who may benefit from a more individualized and customized approach.

Recovery Plus blends weekly individual therapy, family therapy, structured group support, and integrated medical/psychiatric services which are all coordinated at intake. This improves engagement, reduces barriers to care, and allows for tailored treatment planning while still maintaining clinical intensity.

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.

BSFT is an evidence-based family treatment for youth with intrafamilial discord, substance use, and clinical, social, and behavioral problems. BSFT emphasizes behavioral change through the family ecology and uses interventions to promote family cohesion and the capacity to intervene positively with the youth.
