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?

Over 30 years of education, experience and training have informed me as I support you in moving from defeat to hope, possibility and success in living fully and joyfully.
Andrew Hechtman
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, Rabbi
Verified
To my knowledge, I am the only clergy Licensed Marriage and
Family
Therapist in CT.
My practice is devoted to supporting individuals, couples and their kids. If you want to do the work, improved communication and mutual understanding will help you make for a better future. Too many relationships function on "implicit" understandings. This results in feeling resentful, unappreciated or unloved. By learning to make our relationship dynamics more "explicit" we can work through our constraints to find balance and harmony. Sometimes "reconciliation" means being together as a couple and sometimes "reconciliation" means parting ways, but doing so respectfully. This is especially important if you have kids! Being at peace with yourself is the key!

Storybook Counseling LLC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I have training and experience specific to the mental health needs of young children ages 0-10, particularly related to trauma, anxiety, and
family
challenges.
Ideally, childhood is a time full of wonder, play and learning in the context of safe relationships. Sometimes, despite the best intentions of caregivers, children experience trauma or other situations that challenge their sense of safety. Other times, a child’s behaviors make it clear that they are struggling, but it’s not clear why. As with many issues, the earlier the intervention, the easier it is to address the need. My practice focuses on children under age 10. When you know your child has experienced something upsetting, or you see negative emotional or behavioral patterns emerging, it may be time to seek therapeutic support.
