*Accepting new clients at expanded practice location* Do you want to live a life with greater freedom? What if I told you that you could be truly happy, live without anxiety, and have mastery over your body and mind?

Tides of Mind Counseling is among Connecticut's top counseling centers dedicated to providing excellence in mental health care. Our offices are located in Waterbury & Torrington where our licensed professionals work extensively with you to manage life's challenges, promote healthy relationships and encourage inner healing.

Sometimes it can feel as if our thoughts are overtaking us, sending us down a negative spiral. In these moments it can be difficult to think clearly, feel connected to our bodies, or even to take a deep breath. We start to panic, realizing that we are spiraling downwards, which often leads to more panic. This negative spiral does not just live in our minds, but also impacts our everyday lives; we can experience difficulty sleeping, managing stress, balancing work and leisure, changed eating habits and withdrawal from social activities, among other things. Escaping this cycle might feel impossible, but it does not need to be.

I'm so glad you're here! It takes courage to ask for help and share your struggles. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the stress in your life, have difficulty managing your emotions, are struggling with stress-related health problems, or notice that you blame yourself for your difficulties, I can help. Together, we will decide on a path to create and realize an increased sense of confidence and well-being in your life. Many times, our struggles today result from negative experiences in our past. Much of my training has been focused on abuse, and its effects on our bodies, minds, and emotions.

Are you experiencing imbalance, anxiety, depression, unwanted emotions or thoughts, or having difficulty adjusting to life changes, or taking control of your life? Are you concerned for a child or spouse and aren't sure how to help them? This can feel overwhelming and impossible to solve. This dwelling is not a permanent place and you can be relieved of this. With my expertise in combining talk therapy with art therapy, I can guide you in opening new doors to mindfulness, self-expression and healing. Art Therapists are trained extensively in the use of art materials so that you may use them in a safe and healing manner.

Synergy Advanced Healthcare LLC is a veteran-owned and operated, Primary Care, Medication Management, and Counseling office. Synergy was born of a vision to create a better way to do healthcare for patients by doing healthcare differently. Our goal was to eliminate long wait times and crowded waiting rooms; in turn, we have elevated the patient experience at our office. We don't double or even triple book appointment times. We are proud to offer a patient-centered, synergistic approach to healthcare, considering individual needs and a whole-body approach to health and wellness.

Starting therapy is a big step and may seem like a long shot, especially if you’ve tried it before and it didn’t help as you had hoped. It needs to be worth it.

I work with older children, adolescents, young adults, and their families who struggle with trauma, substance abuse, self-injury (cutting), peer relational skills, parent-child conflict, anxiety, and depression.

Welcome! I am so happy you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working with diverse populations throughout Connecticut. My expertise lies in working with individuals and families who are trying to improve their lives through a better self understanding and better communication with the important people in your life. If stress, negative thinking, worry, anxiety and anger tend to get in the way of you feeling at peace, I am here to help you navigate your way to a happier and healthier life.

Therapy can be an effective treatment for many of life's difficulties. But in order to reap its benefits it is important to choose the right therapist- someone you trust who makes you feel cared for and has the experience to help you make changes for the better in your life. The therapists at Tides of Mind Counseling are experienced in many treatment modalities, they are down-to-earth and easy to relate to. They have been trained to create a psychic space in which you feel safe, "held" and supported, a vital element to effective therapy.

As a Licensed Addiction Counselor, I am motivated to work with people struggling with Substance Use Disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders. I pride myself on being positive, non-judgmental and solution focused and will help explore and educate to help anyone achieve and sustain recovery. I believe that there is not one simple way for one to obtain sobriety or recovery and that treatment should be individually based focusing on one's strengths and motivation. I am also a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with individuals, couples and families that are having issues with relationships.

I am committed to creating a caring, accepting and non-judgmental environment in which clients feel understood, valued, and safe to open up, explore and express their thoughts and feelings. I work with symptoms of anxiety disorders including panic, OCD and phobias using the most effective evidence-based, shorter-term cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based therapies which help reduce acute symptoms within weeks. For people seeking to overcome longer term depression, anger, low self-esteem and self-defeating habits that keep them from living life more fully, I use longer term insight-oriented psychotherapy.
