ADHD Therapists in Farmington, CT

Are you a teen or parent looking for someone who can help you or your child feel better about themselves at school or home? As a clinical psychologist and child and adolescent Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist (PMHCNS) with prescription privileges (for those up to 17 years of age), I specialize in treating children and adolescents. Medication may be indicated for depression, anxiety, ADHD, symptoms from autism. In a holistic approach, I interface with school, therapist, PCP and naturopath and use the lowest effective dose of medication, avoid multiple medications and help explore potential learning disabilities.

Helping people who seek healing and self-improvement has been the focus of my professional life. Much of my work has been with individuals trying to deal with challenges related to conditions such as anxiety, depression and ADHD. I also have considerable experience helping parents, especially those whose children have disabilities of all kinds. My approach is eclectic. It begins with learning about you (e.g., your feelings, thoughts/beliefs, actions, life experiences, stage of life & health). I also consider other factors that influence your well-being (e.g., family, relationships, work, societal pressures).

Life doesn’t always go as planned and we often need help and guidance navigating turbulent waters or unexpected bumps in the road. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with children, adolescents, and young adults since 1994. Having spent 25 years as a school counselor in Connecticut, I work with all genders, sexualities, races, and beliefs. I have experience working with many different presentations of anxiety and depression and have a particular interest and expertise in working with people with ADHD and the accompanying issues of executive functioning, anxiety, and depression.

As a marriage and family therapist, I am uniquely trained to identify, track and break patterns between couples & families in conflict. I work toward helping individuals,couples and families take an active role in creating the kind of change they desire. Marriages are not meant to merely SURVIVE, but rather to THRIVE. In couples counseling I help parties develop greater insight into their relationship and maintain a mindfulness toward its growth. Through focusing on action steps, I actively challenge individuals and couples to take accountability for their own thoughts and behavior as opposed to assessing their partner's.

My style is to be a supportive and collaborative partner with you using my more than 20 years of experience and training with your own desire to grow and heal. With sensitivity & compassion I will help you to do the deep transformative work that goes beyond just "talk therapy", and help you embody your emotions to work with the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your issues. My goal is for you to feel as safe, comfortable and accepted as possible, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
