College Street Counseling Center in Middletown
College Street Counseling Center is an outpatient psychotherapy practice associated with 154 College Street in Middletown, Connecticut. The older facility website is no longer reliably accessible, so this listing has been rebuilt conservatively using current provider evidence rather than copying historical treatment-directory claims. The federal NPI Registry currently verifies licensed clinical social worker and licensed alcohol and drug counselor Kathleen Watanabe at 154 College Street, with the practice phone 860-347-8894. A current clinician profile also identifies College Street Counseling Center as an active practice specializing in addiction, depression, relationship issues, and individual, couples, and family therapy.
Outpatient Addiction Counseling
The verified scope supports describing College Street as an outpatient counseling option for people whose concerns include alcohol use, but not as a medical detox center, IOP, or residential alcohol rehab. A licensed alcohol and drug counselor can help clients examine substance use patterns, motivation for change, relationships, emotional stress, and the consequences of drinking. Current practice information also supports work with depression and family or relationship concerns, which can be important when alcohol misuse is connected with mood symptoms or conflict at home.
Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy
The current clinician profile states that services are available in person and online and include work with individuals, couples, and families. This gives clients different ways to address drinking-related problems depending on how drinking is affecting their lives. Individual therapy may focus on behavior change and recovery goals, while couples or family sessions can address communication, trust, boundaries, and support. Because this is a small private counseling practice, prospective clients should ask directly about clinician availability and whether alcohol treatment is appropriate for the severity of their substance use.
Limits of the Current Verification
Older SAMHSA-derived directories attribute a much broader menu of substance use services and medications to College Street Counseling Center. Those historical claims were not carried into this update because the current official website could not be reviewed and the center does not appear under its former name in Connecticut’s current state substance-abuse facility list. The listing therefore does not claim alcohol detox, medication-assisted treatment, IOP, drug testing, or residential services. Someone at risk for dangerous alcohol withdrawal should seek a medically appropriate assessment rather than relying on a standard psychotherapy appointment.
Current Contact and Payment Information
The current CMS-verified practice address is 154 College Street, Middletown, CT 06457, and the CMS-listed phone is 860-347-8894. Current clinician information indicates that insurance is accepted and that self-pay and sliding-scale arrangements may be available, so this record uses private health insurance and self-pay categories while avoiding unsupported payer specifics. The obsolete website field is intentionally left blank. People seeking alcohol counseling should call to confirm availability, fees, insurance participation, and whether the practice’s outpatient alcohol and addiction counseling is sufficient for their current clinical needs.
