Therapists in Canton, CT

I am a Therapist who cares for the whole client and the reunification of family. My focus and expertise are those coming out of incarceration with a history of substance abuse disorder as well as the youth and young adult.

Accepting new clients! Are you tired of carrying the weight of life and all its demands on your shoulders? It's time to put YOU first and start a new chapter in your life.

As you consider mental health wellness, recovery, or personal change as part of your self-care, finding the right therapist is essential. Therapy may be helpful when considering a change or letting go of patterns that no longer support you. I intend to partner with individuals at any stage of readiness and develop a unique plan of treatment personalized to meet those needs.

Are you finding your everyday existence fulfilling and rewarding? Are you presenting the best version of yourself to the world daily? Have your goals transitioned from the confines of your mind into the realm of reality? Have you been burdened by the weight of anxiety or depression? If you could use support in any of the aforementioned areas, I am happy to share that I am currently accepting new clients. I am Ferris Clare, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I will guide you through life’s inevitable challenges and plateaus to collaboratively support you in realizing and cultivating the power that lies within you.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to help clients achieve their goals. I am bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and positive space to help clients reach their full potential.

My ideal client is looking for therapy to help them and wants to change their life for the better.

Taking the first step into the therapeutic world is difficult. Sometimes we allow our pride to get in the way of our growth, somehow we feel that engaging in therapy equates to “not having it all together.” Other times it may feel like a sign of weakness or therapy simply is the UNKNOWN. However, if you fall into the majority you are prioritizing everything else in your life to avoid it. Whether you fall into all these categories or none I am here to encourage you to show up for yourself ! Create time in your busy schedule to EXHALE. No matter where you are in this book called life the chapter titled “YOU" is the most important.

I enjoy working with all populations and age ranges providing a comfortable space for all. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or something you are looking to give a try again too, I want to ensure that together we focus on the goal in which you are working towards or seeking. Everything happens for a reason, so trust the journey you are on.

Life has many unexpected twists and turns. Although you are doing okay, you recognize that being just “okay” is not good enough anymore. Maybe you are suffering from some childhood wounds that need to be unpacked. Perhaps, you have experienced a bad break up, a recent divorce, job related stress, or anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Are you a teenager who feels no one understands you, a young adult trying to figure out your next steps in life, a parent in need of some extra support, or a couple at a crossroads in your relationship? Do you want to become the best version of yourself?

When looking for a therapist it's important you find someone your feel comfortable with. Therapy can be a safe place to share and explore feelings or issues that challenge most of us at one time or another. I use a strength-based, family systems approach in helping individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and their families to reduce stress, improve communication and relationships. My goal with all clients is to build on existing strengths, and help find realistic solutions to problems and help achieve their goals. I empower them to achieve the changes they are looking for, in a safe comfortable and non judgmental environment.

My approach to therapy is one that is centered on a therapeutic relationship that is egalitarian, anti-oppressive, and resource-oriented, while also acknowledging the roles that the systems that individuals have to navigate through have such a great impact on one’s quality of life.

Today probably seemed hard. Dealing with the current pandemic, problems at work or home, or maybe just trying to figure out what the next steps are in life. I GET IT, and I want to help you with that! I also want to help you address those things that may seem difficult to tackle on your own. Sometimes we need more than a YOUTUBE video or a motivational podcast. Sometimes we need assistance in person; LIVE and DIRECT, to help us channel our stress and anxiety.

I am passionate about promoting mental wellness, self-care, and stress management, particularly through avenues like the arts, music and dance. Drawing from my own experiences and background, which include counseling in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma, loss, addiction, and mindfulness, I am committed to supporting the well-being of both youth and adults.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

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.

In a safe, welcoming environment, I help you navigate your personal journey toward growth and healing from trauma, anxiety and/or depression. I want to help individuals restore balance and joy to their lives through exploring with them what is causing a sense of uncertainty, lack of purpose, communication barriers, intimacy loss, or general disease. If you are ready to find greater connection, happiness and meaning, please call my office for a free consultation. We can discuss where you are at and what you are looking for in a therapist.
