Anthem Therapists in Middletown, CT

“Currently Holding Video Sessions.” Are you like many others, whom on a daily basis, face a variety of stressors and struggle to keep things organized? Do you, or a close family member juggle many roles, such as work, family, children and relationships? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand that some days are overwhelming, and stress can take an emotional toll. In my practice, I work to help people identify the best ways to incorporate balance in their ever changing lives. Through a supportive environment people learn how to take time for themselves, and/or develop ways to manage more chronic emotional conditions.

My work as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work in Mental Health and Addiction is to assist individuals and family members in reaching their goals and potential as they overcome their challenges and make use of their opportunities. I have had the pleasure of working with people in this field for over 20 years.

**Now accepting new clients- day, evening and weekend appointments available** Mission: Our 25 plus years of experience enables us to offer effective outpatient individualized psychological care. We treat a range of mental health and addiction disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples. Our focus is to support individuals to heal and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing treatment goals.

As a strengths-based, compassion-focused, person-centered therapist, I see each client as an individual rather than a diagnosis, and strive to support them holistically using a wellness model of therapy. The beauty in therapy is that there is not a “one size fits all” approach, and as such, I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices in order to fit the unique needs of each client and the dynamics within the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to providing Health at Every Size (HAES), LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed care.

At Small Victories Wellness Services, we are a team of highly skilled therapists that provide in-person talk therapy (Middletown) and telehealth services to adults, children, and families throughout CT.

Whatever the issue, our staff will meet you or your family right where you are. You don’t have to walk through the door with answers. We can figure it out together. We understand that change is a journey, and we can take it one small victory at a time.

Twenty-five years into it, I still love being a counselor and psychotherapist. It is an honor and a privilege to be involved in the personal struggle and transformation of each client, couple, and family I see. I regard therapy more as an art than a science, though I certainly utilize current research in my practice. Most often my clients present problems in living rather than "mental illness" per se and they appreciate my attention to their strengths, resources, and spiritual concerns.

We are all constantly changing. We may have already accomplished goals in our lives, yet are at a crossroads again. This time, we may wish to seek help, whether it’s to develop a goal, figure out what may be a little “off” in our life or maybe some direction with some heavier challenges. I specifically have experience working with substance use disorders, infant mental health and parent-child attachment. I've been trained in Infant Mental Health, Risking Connection, Seeking Safety as well as Circle of Security, but have worked with many individuals and families with varying reasons that brought them to therapy.

My goal is to help clients to gain a sense of control, confidence, develop a strong identity, embrace vulnerability, build acceptance and forgiveness for themselves and others. Overall I my goal is to have clients to have authority and gain resiliency over their generational, relational, chronic, or acute trauma. I accept adults ages 18 and older who are of any racial identities/ethnicities, sexual orientation, and gender identities.

***Accepting new patients*** Brene Brown says, that "daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time". Deciding to participate in therapy is one of the most brave and scary decisions a person can make, but it is also one of the most rewarding. I congratulate you on taking the step to see change happen, and it would be an honor to walk with you through this journey! Using a strengths based perspective, together we will work to address the various barriers and life circumstances that are getting in the way of living your best life.
