Therapists in New Milford, CT

Personalized mental healthcare where HOPE is restored for individuals and families.

Starting therapy can feel very uncomfortable and stressful. It's a big step, but it's an important step. It means you're willing to look at the things that are causing you distress, and you're open to healing and support. My focus is relationships. With oneself as well as intimate relationships and family. I am a Solution Focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In sessions we will work together to solve problems, build communication and coping. I offer weekend availability as well as after hour appointments currently through teletherapy. Let's work together to find a resolution to the problem and repair your relationships.

My most recent endeavors have been learning how to heal without medication. Many don't know that 90% of our brain's serotonin is made in our gut.

Are you feeling like you need a change or are struggling with balance in your life? I am a caring professional who provides an affirming, wholistic, nurturing environment for you to express yourself and explore the patterns in your life that need improvement. I have been practicing clinical social work for over 20 years and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families with many different symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. I specialize in working with those struggling with anxiety, survivors of trauma, youth who have problematic sexualized behaviors and LGBT youth and families.

Most people who come in to see me usually wind up uttering a version of this in the first weeks: “This is not how I thought my life would turn out.” They seem unaware that many of us have felt this way at one time or another. People are hurting when they make a call to a therapist. They’re “stuck,” and yet anxious about the therapy process. They want change. But how to go about making it happen? Llfe is by definition unpredictable. No matter how we plan or adequately prepare for it, it comes down to sorting out the difficult from the more difficult when decisions have to be made.

When we saw mental health being unaffordable and incomplete, we took on this endeavor of launching our unique model of mental health wellness throughout many cities and states. Before we started, we saw a great demand for receiving affordable, comprehensive, and enjoyable mental healthcare. So, we started our company to provide counseling that is affordable on the base prices, but also extremely affordable through our unmatched sliding scale models. We also didn't sacrifice the quality of care delivered, but even increased it. We now offer in-person and virtual visits in CT, FL, NJ, NV, and PA.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live their best life. I apply my experience and knowledge to help those with a desire to grow, adjust, change, and evolve into their best self. I have a Master’s degree in Human Services Counseling and am a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I work with both adolescents and adults. I have significant experience working with those that suffer with substance misuse and addiction. I do not believe this disease is hopeless. I am dedicated to working with those who desire change and want to live a better life.

These are very stressful times, and life can be so very hard with different challenges that we face over the years. Adults deserve a place where they feel welcomed to sort through their feelings, whether it be related to past trauma or current challenges. Families need a place to work through their struggles and not feel that they are alone in dealing with problems that can arise while raising children, to create healthy communication, and healing in their family. Children and teens may feel like coming to therapy means they are different, so its important that everyone who comes to therapy feels welcome and heard.

If you are struggling with anxiety, sadness, hopelessness, trauma, learning disabilities, adjustment to another phrase of life or you are overwhelmed with life’s changes? Look no more, you found the right path by believing therapy can help you.

When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free. Whether it's poor relationships, anxiety, depression, substance or process addictions, trauma, or a desire to deepen their connection with others, I help my clients find strength, flexibility, and compassion, returning themselves to the feeling of being whole.

Everyone hits a bump in the road from time to time. Maybe you're going through a difficult transition, such as the loss of a job or loved one. Maybe you worry too much...but can't seem to stop. Maybe you struggle with difficult relationships--or spend so much time caring for others that you've neglected yourself. Sometimes we just get stuck, and we aren't sure why. Sharing our concerns with a caring professional can help us find solutions, improve our sense of self and our relationships, provide safety and warmth, and help us find more meaning in our lives.
