About CREC Polaris Center – East Hartford

Based in East Hartford, Connecticut, and formerly known as Credence Counseling and Therapy, this location became CREC Polaris Center in November 2024. Here, students and families can access high-quality, comprehensive and accessible mental health care and behavioral support services.

According to senior staff members, this new office represents a significant step toward more accessible mental health care within the local community. Their mission is to provide support in areas where families and individuals work and live to ease the burden on people who need to seek help. In this way, individuals can feel more empowered and in charge of their mental health.

With two other facilities based in Southington and West Hartford respectively, the center also provides in-school counseling services in local public schools. This focus on supporting young people and school-age children with their mental health has been particularly prevalent since the pandemic.

This new location shares a care park with the CREC John J. Allison Jr. Polaris Center, which supports students from kindergarten through to grade 12 struggling with mental health and emotional regulation. Here, kids and young people can benefit from a small, supportive community where their clinical and educational needs can be met. The convenience of these services is ideal for students and families struggling to manage their day-to-day and school schedules while also seeking the support they need.

Services provided here include medication management and counseling. Sessions are designed to strengthen familial and romantic relationships by improving communication and helping individuals navigate and resolve conflicts to build stronger connections. Individual sessions focus on personal growth, and participants receive space in which to address personal challenges. For individuals in need of more targeted services like addiction treatment, support and referrals to relevant local services may also be provided.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
