Therapists in 06101

Updated 5/20/2022: We have CURRENT telehealth (video) openings for clients located anywhere in CT! I believe that change is hard, for both adults and children alike, and aim to work with you to not only applaud your choice, but support and push you to make the changes you seek in your life. I believe everyone has their own definition of success and want to help you strive to reach your goals. I am an empathic listener and help you work towards identifying areas of focus, obtaining your individual goals, striving, working and pushing yourself to be better in your own way.

Are you struggling with getting through the day? Do you crash face-first into the couch when you get home? Do you feel like 5 years just went by within the blink of an eye? You may be struggling with wanting to make changes but feel uncertain. You may feel like you are the only one. Starting the process of therapy can be scary and uncertain. I have a relatable perspective, and have a solid understanding of what it's like to be a young adult or a teenager and trying to navigate life in all it's messy and unpredictable glory.

Many of my clients are children who struggle with:* Attention and Learning Issues *Anxiety, Sadness or Mood Swings * A hyper sensitivity to people and the environment. Traditional therapies include medication or "cognitive" approaches. But these approaches do not directly address the fact that often the brain is stuck in an unsuccessful pattern that the conscious mind may not be able to change. My program integrates psychotherapy and coaching with Brain Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) to change these brain patterns and increase calmness, balance, and self regulation. To learn more about the Inner Act program and Neurofeedback, please visit: www.inner-act.com.

I promote self-evaluation and personal accountability in program development and service delivery. Services are provided in a safe and confidential environment

Congratulations on taking the first steps toward seeking help! I recognize that this is often very challenging and requires a great deal of courage. I work with children, families, and adults experiencing a wide variety of challenges, such as difficulty managing strong feelings, relationship conflicts, or significant stress related to the pressures of daily life. I also specialize in working with those who are overweight or obese. I work collaboratively to accomplish each individual's unique goals. Let's work together!

Have you wandered off of your true path? Confused, frustrated or stuck? Do you believe you may be headed down a road to addiction? Therapy can be the means to reclaim and refocus your life. It has made a critical difference in the lives of many. Come take the journey. There is much to gain and little to lose. I am an established therapist offering compassionate talk therapy. I am trained in treating addictions (Sexual Addiction Certified) and the resolution of emotional trauma (EMDR Certified). I have counseled returning combat veterans and offer a spiritual path for those desiring it.

Sometimes when life throws us a curve ball, or when we are dealing with a more chronic, ongoing challenge, talking to a therapist can help us see our inner strengths and abilities which can help us successfully navigate through these challenging times. A good therapeutic relationship, one that allows us to be fully ourselves while recognizing our unique potential, creates the optimal conditions for healing. I provide a place where you can feel safe to explore your most difficult feelings, to resolve grief and loss, heal childhood wounds, improve communication, increase self-esteem and develop more satisfying relationships.

I specialize in working with at-risk youth who have experienced childhood adversity and/or trauma. Young people who are having difficulty navigating developmental tasks including setting boundaries, establishing healthy peer relationships, and setting future goals. I utilize EMDR and Ego State Therapy to support clients in healing from past experiences, improving self-esteem and launching into adulthood.

Hello and congratulations on taking this step to look for a therapist. It can be very difficult to make the decision to seek therapy and then share your emotions and issues with a complete stranger. I consider it a privilege to be trusted enough to have someone work with me and if you do choose to see me for therapy, you will be treated with respect, dignity, and kindness. You will also have the opportunity at every session to provide formal feedback about your progress and the helpfulness of each session so that I can help you most effectively.

*Not currently accepting new clients* Generalizations about therapy are difficult; experiences are as unique as the individuals involved and are unlike any that encountered in family, work, or personal life. Therapy requires involvement of and trust between clinician and client during and between sessions and asks questions or presents issues that may be difficult to discuss. Uncomfortable or unfamiliar emotions may arise, and exploration can lead to reduction in distressing feelings and greater understanding of one's experience, which many people experience as highly rewarding.

The people that I work with often do not understand why they are feeling depressed, anxious, angry, disappointed and so forth, let alone where it stems from or how to change it. I work using multiple therapy models tailored to an individual's needs and personality. We will work collaboratively to uncover the root of distress and develop the tools needed to overcome the challenges that are problematic.

For the past 4 years I have begun tele-therapy/ coaching, called Dorm Room Coaching and Counseling with college aged students. I have seen young adults all over the US for coaching regarding their struggles while in college.

When you finding yourself stuck, it can be challenging to see all the possibilities we have in our lives. And its all the more difficult if you've experienced trauma or wounding in attachment. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationships, parenting, excessive stress, or regulating emotions, we can work together to find greater balance and healing. I have a special focus working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe that we are happiest and most fulfilled when we are living in line with our beliefs, are able to manage conflict and stressors, and feel connected to the people we care about.

With an engaging, dynamic & empathetic approach, I can help you more effectively manage anxiety, depression, trauma issues, or relationship/family conflicts that effect daily functioning.

Together, we can work toward healing, thriving, and achieving a higher quality of life. Working toward a healthy life balance is challenging, yet rewarding for my clients with an accepting & interactive approach. If you'd like, my certified emotional support dog, Colby, is available to help too!

You find yourself overwhelmed with self-doubt and stress. You feel down, anxious, disconnected, and completely drained. Most people don't even know how much you are suffering. While you take care of everyone else, you try to hold it all together with an underlying sense of guilt, shame, sadness, and frustration. You wonder, am I good enough? Do I do enough? Am I enough? If you experience any of these feelings, or you find yourself lost in thoughts of criticism, it's time to take care of you.You don't have to be stuck in self-blame.
