Female Therapists in Fairfield, CT

Hello and Welcome - my name is Kara and I'm happy you're here! No matter what is bringing you into my office, I meet all of my clients with empathy, understanding, and appreciation. I value each and every client interaction and truly feel gratitude for having the opportunity to grow with my clients. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters Degree from Fairfield University and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Life is a journey and we are continually changing and hopefully growing. The most important component of therapy is the ability to develop a trusting and therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. Asking for help can be hard. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental and direct. We all have unique stories and I am interested in hearing yours and working with you to identify areas in which you are struggling and would like to shift. I will try to assist you in identifying the roadblocks you face that prevent you from living a fulfilling life and help you learn the skills necessary to bring about desired changes.

I view the purpose of therapy as a way of getting to know oneself better and to develop greater empathy for oneself. Through understanding the defenses one subconsciously builds to protect themselves from life's pain, we can achieve a new appreciation for ourselves and a greater sense of agency to cope in ways that previously seemed out of reach.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with adults, young adults, and couples. Anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, couples therapy, relationship issues, as well as issues important to the LGBTQ+ community are the general areas in which I practice.

Do you feel lonely, yet you aren’t alone? Another scroll through your social feed -and you ask why doesn't my life look like that? YOU look at your partner, thinking, “Where's our happily ever after?" You used to have so much fun together - talking and laughing nonstop-but now you haven’t had a meaningful conversation in weeks. What’s the point of talking? It’s just fight after fight. At first, it seemed like you had so much in common. Now, you're not sure you even KNOW who your partner is anymore. Romance, intimacy, fun, and trust are long gone. "Would it be better if we just called it quits?"

Knowing ourselves is the beginning of all wisdom. Should you be searching for a safe and supportive environment to seek insight on yourself, your child and/or your family my practice of Insight Therapy and Assessment welcomes you. I offer an open, non judgmental yet analytical style that allows my clients to identify what's not working in their lives and replace with what better can. Therapeutic insight rooted in CBT/DBT/ACT foundations will allow for you to better deal with conflict, adapt through change, cope with misfortune, establish healthy relationships and ultimately improve upon and embrace the best version of yourself.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a profound commitment to nurturing healthier relationships within individuals and families. Whether we connect digitally or in person, I will meet you where you are. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, issues with partners and spouses, parenthood, and navigating transitions like separation or divorce. I can help you and your family through heightened emotions to develop healthy communication and coping skills.

Congratulations, you have made another step towards a healthier life. You are at the start of a beautiful journey. A journey full of ups and downs, but also of self-discovery, investment, and love. I am here to partner with you. Through our partnership, we will create a safe, warm, and supportive environment wherein you can express your innermost concerns without judgement. With a holistic and client centered approach, you will find your voice, sort through experiences, and discover the endless possibilities of living life on your terms.

On the outside, no one would know...but on the inside there's a part of your life that feels wrong - maybe even downright awful. Are your marriage or personal relationships strained and disconnected? It's my philosophy that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie many relationship issues. Are you making a career move and you don't know how to begin? These and many other stressful life issues can lead to anxiety and depression. I can help you cope. It's time for a change. I provide real and positive counseling, never hesitating to be direct when something is off, and for finding a smile even at the toughest times.

I believe that you have the power to choose a life that is fulfilling in light of the physical, mental, or emotional challenges that you are currently facing. I invite you to explore meaningful ways to transform your life and develop new habits to produce healing and wellness.

We all get stuck at times. Reaching out for help can be the first step towards positive change. Recognizing dissatisfaction with an aspect of your life, or that solutions you've tried are not working, creates opportunity to allow in other perspectives. Problems can feel immense, and grow in isolation; conversely, talking with a therapist can shed light, open up unseen possibilities and diminish problems. Whether you're struggling with relationship or work struggles, identity issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or other life issues, therapy can help you build more meaning, balance, and ability to handle life's challenges.

Hello, fellow human! Let’s start here: no one has it all together. Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes! Therapy is a great place to explore this. We can work together to navigate the overwhelm and move towards the clarity you’re looking for. Most of my experience includes supporting people who are managing life transitions, anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions, grief, and caregiver/parent stress. I've worked with many people who are brand new to therapy. My most recent work settings have been a telehealth therapy program, municipal services, a homeless shelter, and home care agency.

Are you struggling? I work with you to create a compelling vision of who you want to be. I help you to overcome any beliefs or fears that block you from moving forward. Together, we develop a strategic plan and break it down into manageable steps, to get you where you want to go. I support you, and hold you accountable for tangible results, so you can live your BEST LIFE. If you are ready to gain a new perspective, learn new coping skills, change your life style or relationships, my focused, purposeful approach will provide tools for making decisions in line with your unique gifts, talents, preferences and values.

Hello and welcome! I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate through life’s stressors and work towards living a more authentic and fulfilling life. For some, our work together may include deepening your understanding of yourself and the impact of past experiences on your present life. For others, we may focus on developing skills to help regulate your mind and body. I enjoy helping individuals explore their core beliefs, expand their self-compassion, and engage in life in new and meaningful ways.

You may be looking to improve personal relationships, navigate a life transition or change behaviors that aren’t working for you. Whatever it may be, we can collaborate to meet your needs. As a therapist I am curious, non-judgmental, and honest. I bring a combination of warmth, practicality and a sense of humor. My approach to therapy is relational and trauma informed.
