Taveras, LPC
Founder and lead counselor Eric Anthony Taveras brings a grounded counseling presence to New Milford Community Wellness Center — helping the center feel personal, steady, and connected to real community needs from the first conversation onward.
Grounded in care, focused on understanding
Eric Anthony Taveras is a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in New Milford, Connecticut. He describes his path into counseling as rooted in a long-standing vocation for service and a desire to help others, especially people and families navigating emotional pain, recovery, stress, and difficult transitions.
His role helps give New Milford Community Wellness Center a clear counseling foundation while keeping the center itself visible as the place people are reaching toward. His approach pays attention to a person’s experiences, goals, emotional pain, family context, and practical next steps — not just a diagnosis or single problem.
Respectful, grounded, and human
Counseling works best when people do not feel judged, rushed, or expected to have the right words immediately. Eric’s background includes years of community-facing service and work with people navigating addiction, rehabilitation, family stress, and difficult transitions. That experience helps shape a practical style that respects both personal struggle and the support systems people need around them.
The counseling approach emphasizes a calm space to talk honestly about what you are facing and begin taking practical steps toward change.
