Our story and approach to therapy.

West Hartford Behavioral Health was founded in 2021 by Dr. Cara Wallace with a vision to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive space for children, adolescents, and families seeking mental health care in the West Hartford community. Driven by a passion for helping young people thrive, we are committed to providing evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual's unique needs.

Our story

Our philosophy

At West Hartford Behavioral Health, we believe in a collaborative and strengths-based approach to therapy. We work closely with children, adolescents, and families to identify their unique strengths and build upon them to overcome challenges. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all clients, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. Our practice is grounded in evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.
