Husky | CT BHP Therapists in Colchester, CT

Hello! My name is Ladylanis Grullon, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut. I am a bilingual clinician in Spanish. I have a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph. I have counseling experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, and conduct. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families.

You deserve to be happy. You deserve to have fulfilling and authentic relationships. Seeking therapy is the first step to healing so you can live your life to the fullest. And I thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey. So many factors in life can lead us to feeling unfulfilled in our lives and/or our relationships. Life transitions, relational challenges, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, work stress, traumatic experiences, multi generational cycles and not to mention the inevitable curve balls life throws at us. These are just a few of the many factors that impact every single one of us.

Does life sometimes seem challenging and unpredictable? Sometimes big feelings can come up making it feel challenging to work through alone. I strive to provide a safe, caring, and supportive environment to help my clients gain perspective, identify strengths, and learn skills to help them work through their struggles. Life is a continuous journey, and the ability to find, explore, and accept one’s self is difficult yet also rewarding and important.

To those around you, you are a loving, caring, strong, supportive mother. But inside you are dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, and fluctuating moods. Perhaps a past traumatic experience continues to live in your present, or maybe those around you are noticing a change in you since the birth of your baby. Maybe you are struggling with time management or trying to adjust to your new role and identity. No matter where you are in your journey through motherhood, the time is now to learn that you can be the best version or yourself, not only for yourself but for those you love and who love you.

On the outside, everything seems great. On the outside, others see that you’re hard-working, accomplished, and a go-getter. But on the inside, you are struggling. You are in a rut. You are constantly anxious. Your inner critic is constantly pointing out where you are falling short or reminding you that you are not enough. It's exhausting. You give so much to others and are tired of coming last on your priority list. I can help. You don't have to suffer alone anymore. Change is possible.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal their emotional pain, and this ability is already within. Love, joy, inner peace, belonging, and connection to self and others, are elements that form one's foundation for a meaningful life. This is something we all strive for and sometimes have difficulty attaining. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals find the answers within and to provide them with the guidance, support and encouragement needed to promote healthy change. I work from a strength based, interpersonal, and compassionate approach to empower my clients toward a healthier life.

The journey from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood has never been without its obstacles. With the current times, these challenges are more amplified than ever. If you are feeling frustrated by your child's behavior, or worried that they are not reaching their full potential, not sure if you should try "one more therapist" - I am here to help.

Life can be difficult but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. My background and experience provides me a unique understanding for a wide variety of life’s challenges.

I utilize strength-based approaches and offer CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment (ACT), attachment, and a specialization in co-occurring disorders. It’s important to me that whether its you or your teen, safety and understanding is valued and encouraged. You are in control of your therapeutic

**I am currently not accepting new clients.** I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing family and individual therapy for adults, teens and children in Colchester. I also provide EMDR treatment.

Life involves constant changes, and is not always easy. Change is necessary for growth, but can cause confusion and discomfort, which may impair our ability to move towards the fulfilling lives we envision. Feelings of hopelessness and isolation often lead to unhelpful means of coping, which create a new set of problems. No matter what your struggle, you don't have to do this alone. I believe that a supportive, therapeutic relationship, with you in the driver's seat, can provide clarity and direction. My person-centered approach can help you feel more secure as you navigate your own path. I look forward to walking it with you.

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Hello! My name is Sarah Simmons and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes your life is an individualized journey that I would be honored and excited to explore with you. I primarily work with teens, adults, and couples who feel they struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, grief/loss, trouble communicating, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation.

Are you in a position in which you feel emotionally, mentally, physically, and or spiritually off balance? Is it your personal thoughts and actions, your relationship with someone else or others, and or the environment around you that's triggering unwanted and unfavorable thoughts and emotions?

My recipe for therapy starts with three primary ingredients: a safe space, proven techniques and a plan tailored to fit each individual. Talking to a complete stranger about your struggles can be nerve wracking at first. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist. So I create a warm, accepting space, free of judgement to help support your growth.

Do you want to change your course? Move in a different direction? We all develop perceptions about ourselves and our relationships based on our unique experiences. Sometimes these perceptions can detour us from successful adaptation to life's ever-changing circumstances. Do you want to explore and resolve issues hindering your ability to navigate changes? I serve clients seeking greater satisfaction in their relationships and self identity. You'll collaborate in designing a treatment approach based on respect and compassion. Our focus is on your goals for change and your personal story.

Life is challenging and difficult to negotiate. The goal of therapy is to identify and build on your strengths so we can better manage life's stressors.

Life can be too much sometimes. Maybe you’re struggling with life transitions, relationship challenges, or substance use issues. You need support and guidance, or just someone to listen.

As a recognized professional within these systems I will provide you with the experience and knowledge to guide you through your challenges. I am here to help you resolve these issues with a non-judgmental, solution focused approach.

Being a queer person in this day and age is really tough. It is scary navigating our current society on a day to day basis. It can be hard to know who is trustworthy and safe.
