Mental Health Assessment, Referral & Counseling
The Greenwoods Assessment, Referral & Counseling Program provides comprehensive mental healthcare to all patients in need, regardless of ability to pay. Greenwoods’ primary programs have been in operation since 1992 and are continuous throughout the calendar year. Seven Greenwoods staff are dedicated to direct service. Clinical Administrative Assistant Livia Fiordelisi schedules each intake assessment within 48 hours of first contact. Patients participate in an intake assessment with and receive provider referrals from one of 5 in-house clinicians. Patients then attend counseling sessions with right-fit in-house clinicians; professionals within the Greenwoods Private Practice Group; or clinicians within the larger Greenwoods network. If a patient cannot pay a clinician’s fees, Ms. Fiordelisi and Billing Specialist Breanna Armento shepherd clients and providers through the Greenwoods financial aid process.
Youth Mental Health
In the 2022-2023 school year Greenwoods will provide school-based mental health services to 180 students and faculty of Litchfield Public Schools, Region 6 Schools, The Marvelwood School, and South Kent School. Within this Youth Mental Health Program, Greenwoods clinicians provide mental health assessment and counseling services to students and faculty within their schools. If a client cannot afford the cost of care, Greenwoods provides financial aid to make therapy sustainable and effective.
Greenwoods will also provide school-based mental health services to other local schools throughout the year on a contracted, as-needed basis.
Community Outreach & Recovery Navigation
In 2019 Greenwoods was chosen by CT DMHAS to hire the first community outreach and recovery navigator (CORN) to serve not just Torrington, but all of Litchfield County. Greenwoods' first year of community outreach connected individuals to right-fit mental health and addiction treatment; increased the community’s understanding of substance use disorder (SUD), their capacity to interact with and treat those suffering the effects of SUD, and their knowledge of available mental health and human services; and initiated collaboration among service providers that were once siloed.
In 3 years Greenwoods’ CORN team has proven its effectiveness, thereby securing funding to support 3 recovery navigators and 1 licensed clinician. These women have connected over 150 individuals and families to addiction treatment services; disbursed Narcan to hundreds of community members; conducted 14 weekly harm reduction stations; and presented Greenwoods’ CORN model to the CT Alcohol & Drug Policy Council.
Financial Aid to Support Mental Healthcare
Greenwoods’ services are rare and vital in Litchfield County. Though there are organizations and healthcare providers that offer mental healthcare or referral services, Greenwoods' comprehensive menu of on-site services is unique in the region. This is especially true with regard to the financial aid portion of the program; there is no other organization or program that helps clients pay for mental healthcare if they are underinsured or uninsured. At Greenwoods, no client is turned away. By connecting uninsured and underinsured patients with services that would otherwise be inaccessible, Greenwoods’ programs actualize a vision of Northwest Connecticut in which anyone who needs mental healthcare can access it.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Sep 01 - Aug 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
