Bridge Elmwood Opens in West Hartford
The Bridge Family Center has opened Bridge Elmwood, a mental health clinic, at 100 Shield Street in the Elmwood section of West Hartford. A significant increase in both counseling appointments and clients served during the past year prompted the move from the former space on Farmington Avenue. The clinic offers nine counseling offices allowing for additional therapists and enabling the organization to better meet the growing demand for counseling services.
Located on the borders of West Hartford and Hartford and in close proximity to Newington, the new location provides easier access to mental health care for children and families living in Elmwood and the surrounding neighborhoods. The counseling programs offered in the clinic provide crisis counseling, stabilization, and individual, couple, and family therapy. They promote mental health, improve functioning, and effectively decrease the prevalence and incidence of mental illness, emotional disturbances, and social dysfunction. The services are available to every individual and family regardless of their ability to pay.
The Bridge serves more than 1,200 people annually through its counseling services and related support groups. It is estimated that 600 clients will be seen during this fiscal year at Bridge Elmwood. One-on-one therapeutic sessions are conducted in the clinic, although the option for clients to meet using Telehealth is still available.
While we have broadened our footprint in Elmwood, we still maintain a presence in the Center of West Hartford. We recently purchased 1021 Farmington Avenue to house a new and larger Counseling Center. Extensive renovations are underway and we plan to open this facility in the spring of 2021.
