Black and African American Therapists in Connecticut

So many of us are taught to chase happiness—an emotion that can feel fleeting and out of reach. But what if your true goal is a sense of lasting peace? Making peace with your past while holding hope for your future might feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As Rumi said, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

It's really hard to know yourself. To know what you want, who you are, and how to move through the world with a sense of confident authenticity. Learning to understand and accept oneself can feel like a never-ending uphill battle. Even once you know yourself, it can be hard to actually be that person - especially in the face of lack of acceptance from others - and an inability to be yourself always prevents you from consistent satisfaction. If you are someone who is struggling with their sense of identity or how they show up, both individually and in their relationships, then I am the right therapist for you.

Imagine this - you are feeling disconnected from the life you've created. Work is causing burn out, and there's no time for your own self-care because you're too busy being there for everyone else in your life. Navigating this stress leads to anxiety and impacts your self-esteem, causing you to be your own worst critic. It's interfering with your relationships, leading to miscommunication and less room for genuine connection. If that picture feels all too real, then finding a therapist who can meet you where you're at and support you through these hurdles would be life-changing.

Your prayer has been answered! Hi, I am Eric Joseph, welcome to Total Therapy Today LLC. I have 21 years of pastoral and 12 years of clinical experience working with many individuals struggling with various life issues. The work of ministry for pastors and lay leaders can add more stress.

This makes professional Christian counseling not just a therapeutic process but a ministry to the body of Christ—so we will begin and end every session with prayer.

Are you feeling uncomfortable, or disorganized? Are you having some difficulties with managing stress, anxiety, or depression, as it relates to transitions?

Often, leading to possible maladaptive coping. Here, you can create a time to understand your emotions and identify ways to make adjustments while you are transitioning. Making it more comfortable for you.
