Positive Psychology Therapists in 06019

Accepting New Clients. I specialize in individual therapy primarily with adults, working with the individuals impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, & life changes. Many of us are looking for supports during this time, and that is ok. As a first responder, I found it so difficult to find professionals that had first-hand experience and understood the high-stress environments that an individual is responding to. The main goal is create a connection where the individual is able to work through issues and concerns that they are impacted by and create concrete skills to develop healthy outcomes.

Disconnection between you and what you want for yourself, or between you and someone you love, can be sad, lonely, frightening, incredibly frustrating - and even paralyzing at times. You don’t have to face this alone.

I provide support, education, and assistance to individuals who are struggling with substance abuse, gaming and Internet addiction to name a few. I also work with families and loved ones to offer education about addiction and recovery, how to create healthy boundaries, establishing effective communication, and how to take care of yourself during this process of healing. It's important to meet my clients where they are in their journey and create a nonjudgmental and positive environment to promote empowerment within each individual. Areas of focus may include relapse prevention, shame and guilt, codependency issues and goal setting.

Life is challenging. Directly confronting those challenges in a supportive space is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. I have 10+ years experience guiding clients as they examine the factors contributing to the anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and stress in their lives. In that process we work together to focus on the coping skills and solutions that lead to greater life satisfaction. I am passionate about helping clients achieve greater confidence, self-awareness and balance through authentic and connected living.

I aim to work with clients navigating the perinatal phase or childhood challenges, seeking understanding and healing. They aim for balance, effective coping mechanisms, and resilience to thrive in their roles and relationships. They desire a therapeutic alliance that offers empathy, empowerment, and strategies for a fulfilling life. As a therapist committed to the person-centered approach, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors at your own pace.

I help children, adolescents and adults cope with symptoms of anxiety and depression stemming from trauma, conflict, grief or other life transitions. I am a wife of over 20 years and mother of 2, ages 22 and 19. I’ve been a school counselor in Waterbury for 15 years and a licensed clinician for 2. I'm a seasoned professional both in life and as a therapist and I intend to use my knowledge and experience to help my clients understand their needs and make change in order to feel better. I see you and honor you as a person and invite you to walk with me on your journey of healing at my private practice, Instillness Therapy LLC.

I help struggling teens and adults, distant couples, and hurting families. I provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for people to explore their pain and challenges without fear of judgment. Building a strong relationship where my clients know they are cared for and are free to laugh or cry (we do a lot of both) is extremely important to me. As a social worker at heart, I try to help those I work with recognize the strengths they have as well as to recognize where one's lifestyle may be out of balance with one's personal values.

Do you ever notice that your mind is worrying about something in the future, or maybe stuck in the past, all the while missing out on the present moment? Mindfulness-based techniques can help and I would love to support you in learning and practicing these skills. I am an over thinker myself, and this is why I enjoy working with young adults and adults on managing their anxiety. Mindfulness practices can also help us get in touch with or rediscover the small joys in life, and there are many!

Play, expressive and animal assisted therapies utilize various forms of creative expression: art, music, movement, story-telling, role play, puppetry, sand, and animal energy, to help clients explore, feel, express and transform difficult emotions both for youth and their families. Together we will work to creatively resolve issues and teach coping strategies to alleviate unsettling feelings. I have worked with youth and families for over 35 years in various settings and capacities - teacher, counselor, coach, mentor and mom.

Life is full of uncertainties and sometimes we can get "stuck" in patterns that no longer serve us or our relationships. If you are struggling to see your potential or your path to healing, let me help you find the key. There is hope. You've done the first step by recognizing that something is no longer working for you. Now, you are seeking help and it does not have to be done alone.
