Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Connecticut

My belief is that everyone has the knowledge of how to solve their problems somewhere inside of them. People come to therapy with a wide variety of issues. Some are as simple as "I would like to have better communication with my spouse, partner, children, or friends. Other issues are more far reaching such as "I feel sad all the time." Or "I can't seem to stop drinking

My clients are individuals of all ages on the autistic spectrum, who suspect they might be on th spectrum or have autistic traits: social difficulties, sensory issues, challenges with flexibility, handling relationships and jobs and anxiety. Many have no diagnosis, or have been given many different diagnoses. My goal is to understand, respect and help my client as an individual. I offer diagnosis for adults and treatment for all ages - women in particular can have a problem finding a clinician who "gets" them. I strongly recommend using meditation as an adjunct to therapy, since it’s proven to improve stress resilience..

As a parent, you've been worried about what you see your teen going through. The excessive anxiety about school, relationships, and the struggle to adjust to any change in routine. Their stress level is high and they isolate from friends and family. You watch them play video games, scroll through social media and binge on Netfilx, but they never tell you what's going on. That's the scariest part. You want to help them, but you can't break through. And on top of that, the pandemic. You know it can't continue like this any longer.

Currently not accepting new clients at this time. Hiiiii! I see you and commend you for reaching out and seeking therapy. It’s not easy but you made the first step which is the hardest. You are amazing! Many of our roots were established in childhood and life just grew on top of it. I’m here to help you see, acknowledge, and tend to those roots.

Understanding your child's strengths and weaknesses can help prepare your child for success. I perform psychoeducational testing in the form of neuropsychological evaluations, assessment of learning disorders (including ADHD), social/emotional evaluations, autism evaluations, and personality assessments to facilitate treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults. Assessments are individualized in order to develop a greater understanding of each person and how they can expand on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. I also provide therapy, utilizing cognitive behavioral techniques, while being mindful of how early attachment experiences influence later relationships.

Work. We all do it. I use career counseling and vocational evaluations to identify strengths and challenges. Invisible disabilities or chronic illness? Has your career path taken a detour without respecting the uniqueness of you? Looking for an effective, knowledgeable educational advocate for your child’s PPT/504 meeting? In college and worried about paying for that degree? Need a new gig in ‘retirement’? Career change takes effort. It’s hard WORK! Together we will develop a plan that identifies the steps needed to reach your goal. All services available through easy to use secure video counseling only.

As a licensed clinical therapist and masters level recreational specialist, my expertise in psychotherapy has been built over the course of two decades working with adolescents, adults, and families. Whether supporting adolescents as they undergo a difficult life transition or mediating conflict among adults and families, my services are designed to help individuals navigate the complexities that often come with an array of emotions and challenging life situations.

My "ideal" client is an individual, couple or family who needs changes in their lives. Anyone with signs of distress, anxiety, anger issues or substance abuse may benefit from psychotherapy. Major life events which bring about change in a person's life are reasons people seek therapy. You do not need to be married to see a marriage and family therapist. I treat anyone of any age or sexual orientation who is motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Hello, I’m Heather If you are seeking support from a therapist, you are in the right place. In my experience individuals can feel they have gotten stuck in the same routine trying the same thing over and over without gaining the outcome they were seeking. I value the importance of getting to know each individual I work with so that together we can develop an effective and achievable treatment plan. Together we can find new approaches to positively and directly impact the outcomes you seek.

Are you feeling depressed, lonely, anxious, or irritable? Are you and your partner having the same argument over and over again? I have been helping individuals create positive changes in their lives for over 20 years. I provide a relaxed, strength-based, and solution-focused atmosphere to empower individuals to meet and exceed their goals. As a licensed therapist and a certified school counselor, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with various concerns and issues. These include anxiety, depression, OCD, alcohol and drug abuse, infidelity, divorce, school problems, and relationship / family conflicts.

Everyone faces challenges during their life, and these struggles can be painful, daunting, and overwhelming. For children, these burdens can feel even more difficult to bear, as they're trying to explore their surroundings, and find their place in the world. Finding the right therapist for your child, teenager, family, or yourself, is essential to make sure your goals and need are addressed. If you're looking for support around managing mental health symptoms, problem solving, or coping with stressors, I provide a safe space for vulnerability, evidence based practices, and creativity.
