Therapists Beginning With R in Connecticut

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I am here to provide a wide range of services for children, adolescents and adults. I have over ten years of experience working in the field especially with children and adolescents with a variety of behavioral and mental health issues. I believe that each client is unique & have inherent strengths that can be built on. I tailor my interventions & approaches to meet my clients needs. I believe in using a variety of theories, techniques & creativity in helping my clients reach their goals & continue on their life's journey!

We all have trials and tribulations we face in life, that does not mean we need to face them alone. I'm a firm believer that the compassion and aid of another can do wonders in navigating life when one is going through a challenging time. Throughout my time as a Therapist I have learned that people possess all the tools needed to solve their own problem, though sometimes lack the knowledge in how to use them. I believe that people grown and overcome the hurdles of life when they have a safe space to go and can struggle without fear of judgment. If you are looking for a place and person who can offer this contact me today.

I am an experienced, licensed psychotherapist who works with adults of all ages in a non-judgemental, interactive and supportive manner. My areas of specialization include, but are not limited to the following: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work-related problems, self-esteem issues, life transitions and loss.

NOT ACCEPTING***Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in teens and young adults. The past couple of years have been challenging in many ways. Covid-19 has greatly impacting our youth socially and emotionally. I am here to help navigate these challenges.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood. Therapy should be constructive and transformative, as well as serve as an important, set aside time for self-care. We know how far the physical environment goes towards making you feel comfortable, and have a positive experience. No one wants the stress of a hectic waiting area before your session, and we have built a comfortable environment to make your therapy appointments feel like a weekly getaway from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

*I am not accepting new clients* I am committed and passionate about my work in helping others reach their full potential. I am trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I have experience in helping couples work through issues of infidelity, betrayal, intimacy, conflict resolution, and family/ life stage transitions. I believe in the power of all relationships and how it affects the quality of our lives. When working with individuals I use a systemic lens, in which I see the individual in the context of their relationships, major life events, ethnicity, race, culture, religion & sexuality.

Therapy does not need to be stressful or scary. It is a working relationship built upon trust and rapport. This meaningful relationship, over time, provides a safe place for depth and breadth of emotion and ultimately healing. In our sessions, we will discuss, explore and gain insights into the areas of your life that are troubling and holding you back. I have extensive work experience to cater to the needs of children, teenagers, young adults, and older individuals with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety or relationships, work-related stress, managing difficult emotions.

Have you found yourself in a nagging cycle of worry--experiencing sleeplessness, poor concentration, avoiding once enjoyed activities, and friends? These symptoms maybe due to depression or anxiety. Eating disorders, grief, loss, women's issues, life coaching, and couples counseling are some of the issues addressed in my office. I can offer guidance as to how our gut can affect the health and functioning of our bodies and of our brains--thus affecting mental health. There is a bi-directional relationship between our brain & gut. As a registered dietitian, I can provide the nutritional guidance to keep your gut healthy.

I provide support, education, and assistance to individuals who are struggling with substance abuse, gaming and Internet addiction to name a few. I also work with families and loved ones to offer education about addiction and recovery, how to create healthy boundaries, establishing effective communication, and how to take care of yourself during this process of healing. It's important to meet my clients where they are in their journey and create a nonjudgmental and positive environment to promote empowerment within each individual. Areas of focus may include relapse prevention, shame and guilt, codependency issues and goal setting.

** NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** I am a strong believer in the long-time cliche: Therapy is a journey... so you're going to need a good pair of shoes! Whether your journey is long or short, smooth or rocky, obstacle filled or a clear path, I believe finding a therapist is like finding that perfect pair of walking shoes- comfortable and supportive. I am a marriage and family therapist, a systemic thinker, and genuine individual looking to help other individuals navigate life and climbing any hurdles blocking their pathway.

As a clinician, my most inspiring clients are the adolescents and adults that have overcome the struggles of addiction, eating disorders and family conflict. Effective change happens when strategies addressing the underlying problem are individualized and creative. The safe space offered in therapy allows my clients to explore their feelings, their choices, and challenge their patterns of behavior. I have worked extensively with teens struggling at school, at home, and with the legal system. My work with parents includes finding effective strategies to reach their teen while opening the lines of communication within the family system.

Through active engagement with the expressive and therapeutic processes in an uplifting and non-judgmental environment, I collaborate with clients to facilitate opening to the possibilities of self-exploration and change.

In addition to my almost forty years of clinical experience in various contexts, I am also a professor/researcher. Thus, as a teacher/researcher, in addition to being a clinician, I will work with you with caring and compassion to specifically tailor-make the most appropriate evidence-based, best clinical practice strategies for you. Among other things, I work with people who have fears, anxiety, depression, life stage issues, trauma and loss, etc. Collaboratively, we will develop action plans and change strategies that may help you to live a life that is more satisfying, productive, and ultimately more worth living.

For some individuals, therapy can be a frightening step to take on the journey of self-improvement. For others, it can be the piece needed to help turn one's life in a more positive direction. If you are looking to begin on this journey, I believe I can be of help.

Hey! Ny name is Hunter Ralston. I have a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through the University of Saint Joseph. I am passionate about reducing the stigma of mental health treatment, as I believe a diagnosis does not define a person.
