Introducing New Staff!
Amy Hieleman is a clinician with Cornerstone Counseling Center who loves working with Middle and High school kids. She has been working with adolescents for the last four years, as an advocate, an in-home clinician and in an intensive outpatient setting. She looks forward to supporting the AIS community.
Families should encourage students to reach out to their child’s school counselor or a school social worker to get enrolled. Services can occur during the summer, they do accept all major insurance’s, services can provided in person at school, in their office’s in West Hartford/Southington, or telehealth.
The group envisions a "Connecticut where differences are respected, conflicts are resolved peacefully and violence is not tolerated." They are working with some of our AIS students to create a peaceful environment. Stay tuned for updates!
