Who We Are
Founded in 1971, Positive Directions – The Center for Prevention & Counseling – has been a cornerstone of mental health and addiction recovery in Fairfield County for over 50 years. As a nonprofit based in Westport, CT, we are dedicated to empowering individuals, strengthening families, and building resilient communities through prevention programs and compassionate clinical services.
Our work spans far beyond therapy. From partnering with local governments on youth substance prevention to providing telehealth services for individuals and families, Positive Directions is where care meets community.
Why Join Us?
At Positive Directions, you'll work with a team that’s as compassionate as it is capable, in a culture rooted in inclusion, equity, and growth. And you'll have the opportunity to lead an organization respected not only locally, but across the State of Connecticut.
