Out of Network Therapists in Farmington, CT

Hello there. I help my clients by offering them an accepting and empathic place to talk about their lives. Depending on the needs of the individual, I may simply listen and follow, or I may be more directive and action-oriented, offering concrete tools that bring about symptom relief. I focus on behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and we explore, together, what brings happiness. I ask my clients to be open, honest, and patient with themselves through this process, and I offer them support as we work toward relief. Hopefully my approach offers what you're looking for.

Your life experiences are powerful and, at times, they can also be painful. We will work together to better understand how past experiences may be impacting the present, how current stressors might be affecting you, and what might be helpful for a brighter future. As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in working with clients of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other mental health difficulties. I also work with people experiencing life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, chronic health conditions, and individuals wanting to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

Do you feel constrained in a relationship where you struggle to be heard? Or feel ‘stuck’ in the same old patterns? Do you ever feel like you are not living the life that is authentically meant for you? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with anger, worry, fear, or feelings of inadequacy or self-blame? Addressing these questions and concerns in a therapeutic context can open up room to repair relationships with oneself and with significant others. As a partner in facilitating change, I will work with you and/or your loved-ones to creatively and collaboratively discover new solutions that can help you move beyond emotional and relational stumbling blocks. Having worked in the field of mental- health for many years, I have shared in helping many clients find their way through to wellness from places of high-risk, grief/loss, trauma and conflict in their families. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, I work with adults, teens, couples and parents/families to help develop and utilize new coping skills that are rooted in your yet- discovered strengths. I am here to listen. Change is possible.

If you are facing a challenge, a change or transition, or trying to break free from something in your past causing you pain, I am so glad you are reaching out. With a wide range of experience, I know you will find a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to help you heal & grow in the areas you need. With expertise in multiple methods, I offer a strength based, compassionate, holistic approach w/ a special focus in working with anxiety/stress, relationships, life transitions and challenges including: relationships/divorce, addiction/food related issues, chronic health, grief/loss & school/career related changes.

“A decision made in desperation can have long term, unforeseen consequences” I work with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, as well as the family systems that surround them as part of my mental health practice with individuals with symptoms of anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and addiction including early intervention substance abuse work. I am known for developing strong professional relationships with my clients and ability to develop an individualized plan to manage the issues in the here and now as well as to evaluate possible root causes of why issues may have developed to begin with.

Congratulations! You have already found the strength and taken the first step towards your goal by recognizing and acting on your need by looking for help. I would like to help you achieve the remaining steps to be successful. Being a specialist in CBT and mindfulness means that I am passionate about helping clients recognize and work on overcoming challenges they may face.

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in treating addictions, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues and difficulties with emotion regulation. I teach skills that increase life satisfaction, happiness, self-confidence, curiosity and gratitude. When life doesn't meet our expectations or painful situations occur, many people become self-critical and fight against emotions such as anger, loneliness, fear or shame. It is this lack of acceptance that increases suffering. Mindfulness and self-compassion involve responding with kindness to our own pain, thereby reducing suffering.

I specialize in working with women whose mental health symptoms impact day to day life, sense of self and relationships. Therapy offers a place where clients no longer have to navigate those hardships alone. I provide a compassionate and supportive environment to help clients in their journey of healing, growing and finding the resources within to overcome. We will work collaboratively in session to explore how my training and experience can support your individual healing journey. Therapy with me is informed by my experience of being both systemically trained and trauma informed.

The Anxiety Treatment Center, LLC specializes in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a collaborative, solution-focused, and action-oriented treatment approach, for anxiety and related disorders. Interventions operate on the premise that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are inter-connected such that changing one will influence the others and result in a reduction or the elimination of symptoms. Extensive research demonstrates strong support for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies in treating anxiety and related disorders.
