Therapists in 06101

Hi, my name is Natalie Greenfield. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, specializing in individual, couples, and family therapy. I have experience working in a variety of settings with many populations including severe mental health, women's issues, and trauma. In my private practice, I enjoy working with clients presenting with issues of anger management, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, harm-reduction, relationship issues, stress management, and trauma. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, patient-centered, problem solving, and trauma informed care.

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.

As a leading expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety, mood, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, I use evidence-based practice for conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding, trichotillomania (hairpulling), panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I am board certified in clinical psychology, and have two decades of experience treating clients. I am the recipient of the Award for Distinguished Lifetime Contribution to Psychology from the Connecticut Psychological Association.

Is anxiety holding you back from things that you want in your life? Are you having trouble with your child? Parenting concerns? Stress at work or in your relationship? Feeling depressed or battling high levels of anxiety? Did you lose someone important recently in your life? Are you suspecting your child could have attentional issues? Life can be challenging at times and we all go through periods of needing some extra support as we navigate our way through. Therapy is a structured setting to simply get that support as you determine where you want your next steps to lead you.

When you're the dependable one- the one everyone looks to, where are you supposed to go? While you certainly know the right answers, even for yourself, putting them into action is much harder. Even more, when you're the balanced one, it can be hard to admit or even realize that you're struggling. That voice you're so used to hearing: the one that says that you're behind, tells you what you "should" be doing, says you're not doing enough- it doesn't have to be there. What would life be like without that pressure?

Congratulations!, first for identifying a problem and secondly for taking the difficult but important first step to connect with services. If we ignore what impacts our emotional well-being all other areas of our life can be affected. Having an attentive and supportive therapist to help you make sense of your experience and discover your unique strengths can make all the difference in moving past these obstacles.

I believe in creating an open, safe, non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment in order to help you make the changes necessary to build the life you desire. I also believe in an equally kind and direct stylistic approach, coupled with a strong emphasis on collaboration. In order to work together, I will provide you with the tools you need to move forward in life.

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.

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.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have been in outpatient private practice for 20 years. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and their families on both psychiatric and non psychiatric difficulties. I work with adults on relationship counseling, as well as adults that are going through divorce. 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.

Now offering Divorce Recovery Support Group - one group offered at noon and another in the evening. Also forming support group for Adults dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder. I am a psychologist with over 25 years of experience providing individual, couples, family and group therapy. I enjoy connecting with people, getting to know them and their concerns. I provide a warm, caring and safe environment to explore issues, identify areas where you feel stuck and develop new ways of coping. I offer a goal focused approach in a down to earth manner.

It pays to talk to someone you can trust and who would not use what you say against you. Life has many challenges in store for everyone. Some, we can prevent, and others we can only manage them. This is particularly so with parents who are going through immense struggles as a result of parenting, work, and relationship with their spouses and other family members. You may be doing the right thing but not sure. That feeling of "lost control" suggest that you need to have a deeper view of the problem to regain control. Come talk to me.

A top priority when you are looking for a therapist is to find someone who is caring, concerned and competent. I invite you to just that kind of safe relationship. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, anger and sexual addiction. Mostly though, I work with couples. Why is it often so hard to get beyond the head butting, and build the satisfying, connected marital friendship you have always wanted? Let's discover together how you can exchange the exhausting conflict for renewed companionship.

When my husband and I were having marital issues, we tried three therapists, none of whom helped us very much. In fact, over all, they made things worse. It occurred to me that I might be able to do this better. I wanted a therapist who wouldn’t take sides--someone who would work to understand my point of view as well as my husband’s point of view--someone who would be empathetic and compassionate. I wanted someone who would care about both of us, and, give us hope. These are among the reasons that I became a therapist.

Let's partner together to achieve resolution and relief of the challenges you face. Even just after a few sessions many of my client's are surprised to discover strengths they didn't even know they had.

The Next Right Thing, LLC offers community-based substance abuse and mental health treatment for adolescents (ages 16-23) and their families. Substance abuse and mental health problems are symptoms of a dis-ease in an adolescent's life. Treatment in the community with families and peers is the solution. We offer a "continuity of care" model from identification of a substance abuse, emotional or behavior problem through recovery. The Next Right Thing's clinical program is structured to avoid the need for extended inpatient or residential treatment.

I enjoy finding ways to help my clients learn to support themselves and heal issues that have impacted their ability to feel happy and grounded. Teaching clients to find their own inner strength enables them to cope with many issues that have prevented them from growing and realizing their full potential. Depression, anxiety, alcoholism/drug addiction, and post traumatic stress disorder are just a few of the issues that can be managed, allowing clients to feel unburdened and free to live their lives.

I specialize in treating those teenagers, young adults, and adults whose lives have been negatively impacted by mental illness and/or significant life stressors. In my practice I help individuals treat the symptoms that are causing the most distress so they can begin to overcome the obstacles to health, fulfillment, and contentedness. When appropriate I provide psychoeducation to the family members and advise them in how they can best support the individual's recovery.

I encourage everyone to find a therapist who is a good fit, who listens and understands you, and also helps you to make the changes you want to make in your life. A therapist might be right for one person, but not for the next. I have had over 20 years experience working with children, teens, and adults and my approach varies depending on each person's individual needs. I am genuinely committed to helping people get what they want from life.

Within my experience, whether it is individual, couples or family therapy I am confident to provide a superior level of care and treatment to a wide range of mental health issues. I strongly believe in treating each individual as a whole rather than focusing on specific diagnosis. When working with children and their families, the focus is geared towards establishing a positive dynamic along with healthy communication between both parent and child. I specialize in LGBTQ issues, Anxiety, Trauma and Life transitions. I primarily use CBT and maintain a rational and humanistic approach towards treatment.
