Outpatient Therapy

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment in Connecticut

As the Founder & Owner of Inspire Recovery and Co-Owner & COO of Waterview Behavioral Health, Jill has intentionally built two distinct outpatient programs in Connecticut to ensure individuals receive the appropriate level of clinical support.

While Jill guides the vision, standards, and structure of both organizations, direct care and admissions are managed by each program’s clinical team. Jill’s role is to ensure that every client entering these systems experiences ethical, trauma-informed, and clinically rigorous treatment.

Below is an overview of the programs and how to access services.
