Therapists in Middletown, CT

My practice focuses on working with adolescents, adults and families who are struggling and want to make changes in their lives and relationships. My training and experience has produced an approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and builds on positive behaviors and patterns to produce changes that match to them and to their life circumstances. Therapy provides a safe environment to explore, to expand and practice adaptive skills and strategies, and to learn how to maintain these skills and strategies. In the process behaviors and patterns can shift in ways that produce more rewarding interactions and success in moving lives in more satisfying directions.

Life can be crazy sometimes and as a therapist, I want to walk with you through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, a new medical diagnosis that threatens life as you know it, or transitioning from one stage in life to another. Therapy can be a long or short journey to help you gain the insight needed to explore how past and present experiences impact your ability to manage life's daily stressors and help you develop the coping skills you need to get on with your life. I strive to establish a therapeutic relationship that builds on trust, honesty, empathy and compassion as the pathway to healing and wellness for yourself.

I also have 300 hours of post-doctoral training in psychopharmacology and while I cannot prescribe I can consult about and help manage psychotropic medications.

I can heal PTSD in a single session. SAMHSA, the Federal mental health agency, has registered Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as an evidence-based protocol for treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety and depression. In two different scientific studies a significant decline in symptoms was found after less than four treatments. Many clinicians have found that we can usually heal the symptoms of PTSD resulting from a single traumatic incident, like an assault or a car accident, in a single session. Prolonged trauma, such as childhood emotional abuse, may take longer to heal, but is usually resolved quickly.

We know by the time someone seeks treatment for mental health, they are often in a state of overwhelming distress. This is because when we are in the thick of difficult situations it’s hard to be objective or recognize the need for support. Finding a compatible person to share in this journey is a sensitive matter. Therapists are aware that little can done to help the ones they serve without rapport. How can therapy help? Who is best for me? What's the point of just talking about my problems? All of these are natural questions and concerns. I like to begin where people are at.
