One team. One plan. You never start over.
Therapy and psychiatry, working together under one roof.
At CMHS, your care is always coordinated and your team is aligned — when your psychiatrist adjusts a medication, they already know what your therapist is seeing. No referral gaps, no repeating your story.
Most insurance accepted. Usually seen within a week.
What integrated care means
Your therapist and your prescriber, working from one plan.
Most mental health care in this country is fragmented by default: a therapist in one office, a prescriber in another, connected by fax machines and your own memory of what each one said. Integrated care is the opposite: at CMHS, therapy and psychiatry live in one practice, on one chart, as one team.
In practice that means your psychiatric clinician knows what came up in therapy last week before adjusting a medication, and your therapist knows a dose changed before your next session. Nobody works blind, and nothing depends on you being the messenger between your own providers.
Why it matters
What one team changes
- Faster course-correction. When something isn’t working, the whole team knows within days, not months.
- No conflicting advice. One plan instead of two professionals guessing at each other’s reasoning.
- Less repeating your story. Your history lives in one place, told once.
- Smoother steps up and down. Adding medication support, or tapering off it, is a team decision inside one practice.
Who it helps most
When coordination stops being a luxury.
Integrated care matters most when more than one thing is true at once: depression plus a medication question, anxiety plus ADHD, trauma work that needs pharmacological steadying, a teen whose therapist and prescriber genuinely need to compare notes. That describes a lot of real-world mental health — which is why we built the practice this way.
With 18 clinicians, including two psychiatrists and a psychiatric nurse practitioner, we can match you to the right combination and change that combination as your needs change, without ever sending you somewhere else.
What to expect
The practical details.
Start with the intake form; our team reads it and matches you to the right starting point: therapy, psychiatry, or both. Most new patients are seen within a week, in person in Milford or by video anywhere in Connecticut.
We’re in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, ConnectiCare, Optum, and UnitedHealthcare. One practice also means one billing relationship — intake verifies everything up front.
