Residential Mental Health Programs and Services
In the heart of Litchfield County, Connecticut, Wellspring’s two scenic campuses transcend the idea of a typical residential mental health facility, offering spaces and services that inspire comfort, healing, and connection.
Two Beautiful Campuses Focused on Healing
Adolescent Residential Campus
Wellspring’s main campus provides a bucolic private school environment set on 15 acres with two comfortable residential homes tucked in among perennial and vegetable gardens, pastures, a working barn, a ropes course and multiple school buildings, including a gym, science lab and an art studio.
These programs provide:
- Two separate, exceptionally well-staffed residences for adolescent girls navigating mental health and co-occuring challenges. Our longer term residential program offers comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment integrated with academics provided by our on-campus, college preparatory, therapeutic school. Our adolescent intensive program offers a briefer stay with clinical care focused on more rapid stabilization and transition back to home.
- The Arch Bridge School is a highly respected, licensed, and accredited private therapeutic special education school serving residential and day students in grades 7–12. We offer a college preparatory academic program supported by master’s-level clinicians who provide integrated clinical care throughout the school day. All of our on-site teachers are certified in their respective subject areas, general education, or special education.
- Outpatient therapy, counseling services and medication management.
Adult Residential Campus
Set on 10 peaceful acres, Angelus House provides residential treatment for adult women navigating complex mental health and co-occurring conditions.
The program offers:
-
A multidisciplinary treatment team including psychiatrists, nurses, clinicians, art and experiential therapists, and milieu counselors.
-
Intensive, evidence-based clinical therapies seamlessly integrated with culinary arts, organic gardening, yoga, recreation, adventure, and animal-assisted programming.
-
Individualized planning and interpersonal support designed to ensure the most effective outcomes as participants transition beyond this phase of treatment.
“Before I came to Wellspring, I was so lost and confused. I was angry and unhappy with little respect for anything, especially myself. Wellspring allowed me to understand what a real relationship is; with other people and most importantly, myself.

Founded on a belief in the uniqueness and dignity of the individual.
We strive always to see, know, and reach the essential person in our care. What we seek in therapy, counseling and education is not external social adjustment alone, but to help the person access what is inherent in personality and giftedness — the “wellspring” of one’s own being — that is ultimately the basis for a stable and creative individual life.
