Counseling Center – New Directions Psychotherapy and Counseling Center
Located at 412 Main Street in Danbury, Connecticut 06810, New Directions Psychotherapy and Counseling Center provides individual, couples, family, and marriage therapy alongside divorce counseling. The practice addresses a range of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, marital and family discord, sexual addiction, substance abuse, addiction interaction disorder, and eating disorders. Both in-person and telehealth session formats are offered, with video conferencing and telephone options available.
Seven licensed clinicians are listed on the practice website. Juel Reid holds credentials as an LMFT, CSAT, and CMAT. Jennifer Brennan-Sousa is credentialed as an LPC and PhD. Jeanne Bielawa holds an MA, LPC, and M.S. Ed designation. Jackie Dudas lists MS, NCC, and LPC credentials. Rachel Coombs holds an M.S., NCC, and LPC. Waleska Narvaez is credentialed as an LMSW, and Susan Janerico holds an LPCA designation. The multi-clinician structure supports client matching across a range of specializations, and the presence of CSAT and CMAT credentials reflects a focused capacity for sexual addiction and multiple addiction treatment work.
The practice describes its clinical philosophy as centering on “a warm, personal style, high ethical standards, total confidentiality, flexibility, a non-judgmental stance, and respect for clients’ dignity.” New clients are currently being accepted and former clients may reactivate care. New clients or those without an existing clinician preference are directed to text their contact information to 203-942-9194 for assignment to an appropriate provider. Where a prior clinician relationship exists, direct contact with that clinician is preferred.
The main office is reachable by phone at (203) 730-8775 or fax at (203) 730-8807. Insurance panel details, self-pay rates, specific therapeutic modalities, and year of establishment are not detailed on the available page. The practice website notes that therapy is “ultimately an investment in one’s self” and frames the clinical environment around respect for that investment. The seven-clinician team reflects a generalist group counseling model serving adults and families in the greater Danbury, Connecticut area.
