The Child Guidance Center of Southern Connecticut is dedicated to improving the mental and behavioral health of children and teens through treatment, education, and community support.
Founded in 1954, The Child Guidance Center of Southern Connecticut began with a staff of six, dedicated to providing previously unavailable mental health services to children from the greater Stamford, Connecticut community. CGC now has five offices and nearly 60 staff, including a multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and masters level mental health professionals with expertise in mental health assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and their families.
Although the reach and diversity of our programs has grown, we continue to uphold the guiding principle of our founders to ensure that services will be available to children and families regardless of their ability to pay.
CGC is licensed by the State of Connecticut, designated as an Enhanced Care Clinic since 2007, and accredited as a Children’s Advocacy Center by the National Children’s Alliance since 2004.
