Here at Arete we are dedicated to providing high-quality professional psychological services to adolescents, young adults and families. Whether in the context of our offices, schools, or the community at large, we have had consistent success helping families throughout Connecticut. We are geographically central to Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, Woodbridge, the Shoreline communities, and all of New Haven County.

"Arete" is the ancient Greek word for well-rounded excellence in all aspects of personhood. In the spirit of this idea, Arete clinicians are deeply committed to assisting young people with capitalizing on what is healthy and resourceful in their nature, enabling them to use their existing abilities more effectively, learn new life skills, and channel their development in positive directions.

To this end we aim to provide effective, confidential, and client centered interventions - as well as practical solutions - while actively facilitating communication and cooperation between Arete staff and our clients, their families, and their larger support networks.

It is our goal and our privilege to help adolescents and young adults regain control over their lives, define and pursue their genuine ambitions, and reconnect with the families that love and support them.
