Hello, my name is Shayna Provencher, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I'm a firm believer that we all deserve the opportunity to engage in self care to increase our mental wellness. It's hard sometimes to make ourselves a priority especially when it comes to tending to our emotional needs and mental health. However taking time for yourself and prioritizing your needs is what the therapeutic process is all about. The journey to self discovery and self empowerment often begins with having an open conversation about the internal struggles we may face and how they impact our daily lives.

I truly enjoy the opportunity to work with children, youth, and families. I have a particular interest in working with people on the autism spectrum and their families. I also have extensive experience working with anxiety and depression in youth and adults. Those who are struggling with LGBTQ+ issues will find an accepting and validating relationship with me.

Relying on the help and support of others can be uncomfortable. You may be at the point in your life where you are in desperate need to talk to someone. Maybe you are struggling internally, pushing your feelings determined not to show them, afraid of backlash from friends and family, or dealing with this constant idea of being "normal." It is always the right time to explore where you are now, where you want to be, and how you can get to where you want to be. The great thing about this journey is that you don't have to do it alone.

I am very passionate about helping Women on their journey of self-empowerment and change. I have over 10 years of experience helping adolescents, women, and families with their goals by helping teach the tools needed for success. I have worked with a wide range of individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, abandonment, low self-esteem, and helplessness. I work with couples as well as families to build a bridge and achieve conflict and communication goals. A person working with me should expect a nonjudgmental supportive approach. I love to highlight personal strengths and meet a person where they are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut. I focus on trauma, and how it current day impacts areas such as attachment, relationships, self esteem and family dynamics, through EMDR: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. By utilizing EMDR, I believe that positive change is possible.

My practice is about solving problems, from relatively simple ones like smoking, weight control, or sleep issues, to deeper ones like fears and phobias, and, complex, chronic illnesses that almost invariably have multi-faceted emotional roots. Of course, chronic illnesses can rarely be dealt with as easily and quickly as, say, insomnia, smoking cessation, teeth grinding, or TMJ problems. Habits and simple fears and phobias mostly respond very well to the application of skilled Direct-Suggestion hypnosis. However, Healing Hypnosis, my specialty, is a more intensive and deeper process. That aims to get to the root of problems.

I help those interested gain clarity to feel satisfied in their lives and gain skills to make healthy connections with themselves, others, and the world around them. Together we identify and unpack patterns so that you can take control of your emotions and regain excitement for a life lived more clearly. Mental Health is one piece of total wellness and a journey. All the tools you need to live the life you desire exist in you and around you; my role is to help you reach back and within to uncover them one step at a time.

Welcome. Choosing a therapist is an important and positive step toward healing and growth. I provide therapy for individual clients and couples to help reduce distress and to assist them in moving from where they are to where they want to be. This is done in the safe, understanding, and non-judgmental environment that is essential for success.

I specialize in working with trauma (especially C-PTSD) using EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and DBT. Issues addressed include self esteem and body image issues, relationship difficulties, parenting struggles, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, BPD, Anxiety, and Depression,. I have worked with a diverse client base and am comfortable treating clients of differing backgrounds, ethnicities and experiences. Because of my background in art therapy and my EMDR training, options for alternative approaches to therapy are available as appropriate and desired.

Based on my 25 plus years of working as a clinical therapist, I believe that given the right support, everyone has the ability to resolve their issues and rewrite the stories of their lives. As each individual's path to wellness is unique, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach tailored to each specific client to optimize the therapeutic experience and ensure the best possible outcomes. Challenging life experiences can lead to people becoming stuck in negative, self-defeating patterns. I can assist you in determining the right course of action to take in order to achieve the clarity, self confidence and courage required to heal. Move forward and break free from unwanted behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs! I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I have developed an immense toolkit of therapeutic techniques over the years to share with my clients. I am steeped in Eastern as well as Western treatment modalities, and enjoy incorporating somatic, sound, and mindfulness healing techniques into my work in addition to the more traditional forms of cognitive and behavioral therapies.

Have you ever felt like you are on a boat lost at sea and you don't know where to turn? There are unexpected life events for human beings that can cause sudden stress, trauma, and challenges in their daily life. Without support some people have no place to turn and they feel hopeless and lost. A change in course cannot occur without action and calling in for support is the first step and sometimes the hardest step. Here at a "safe harbor" you can find respite, guidance, support, and encouragement to work through your challenges and find the inner strength to empower yourself to manifest what you need and your destiny.

I have been working with grief, both normal and complicated, for over 30 years and have specialized training in treating both. For those who are going through a normal albeit difficult time coping with the loss of a loved one, or if you are a caregiver for someone with a stressful illness (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's), help is here. I also have extensive experience in treating the needs of the LGBTQ community. I strongly prefer to meet clients in person due to the type of interventions I utilize that are more effective this way.

Addiction is powerful but so are you! I believe that sometimes all people need is a little help remembering how much power they have within themselves. It is easy to fall into the trap of constantly feeling like you are not good enough. Developing a solid sense of self can be achieved by exploring your feelings, finding meaning in your life, and focusing on your strengths. My vision for the people I work with is to support them in finding freedom, rebuilding their lives, and using their strengths to reach their goals.

I have a broad range of counseling experience and have worked with many personal, behavioral, and cultural issues over my 20+ year counseling career. I utilize a holistic approach to help you create positive change within your life. We all encounter transitions in our lifetime (e.g., divorce, relationship issues, illness, death of loved ones, occupational conflicts, separation from employment, end of military service, empty nests, etc.), but it is often the way we respond to these challenges more than the actual challenges themselves that impacts our overall physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

I take a systemic approach with all clients. Each of us lives in relation to others and the world. Whether working with an individual, couple, or family, we explore all facets of life that are a source of stress as well as satisfaction, and collaborate to create habits for living well.

I believe everyone deserves to live the most whole versions of themselves, whatever they define that as. I therefore do my best to help individuals become clear about what it is they want out of this phase of their life and support them in taking the steps towards achieving it. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where together therapist and client create a safe, non-judgmental, brave and honest space to move towards change. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety and depressive related symptoms as well as processing and healing from traumatic event(s) and life experiences.

I am a Master’s of Social Work student, graduating from the University of Alabama’s distance program in May 2024. During my previous fieldwork experience, I supported various support groups, one-on-one therapy clients, and client’s access to services such as transportation, rent and energy assistance, and more. Currently, I assist individuals in the municipal social services sector by completing mental health intakes, connecting clients to resources including food, diapers, and holiday gift assistance programs, organizing wellness and enrichment focused events, and more.
