ConnectiCare Therapists in Middletown, CT

I’m Liz Lobostky, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in mood disorders, trauma, and helping people affected by substance use. My person centered approach encompasses creative techniques to help support you and work towards your goals.

I’m Allissa Tamiso, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Central Connecticut State University. I know that you’re just trying to be happy, and it feels like happiness is harder than it should be. You see other people who seem to understand how to navigate life seamlessly, while you feel like you don’t quite get it, or that there are endless obstacles in your way. This is where our work begins. I have worked with folks struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, ADHD, relationship issues and life transitions.

I have been treating families, couples, individuals and children for over 20 years. I enjoy working with families in transition, including divorce and blended families. I have experience in treating people with depression and anxiety as well.

One of the biggest challenges in the journey toward personal fulfillment is feeling as though our needs are not being met. It can be overwhelming when trying to figure out how to make effective changes in our lives and reach our goals. As a firm believer that people need people, I am passionate in providing services to individuals who are ready to take the vulnerable, yet courageous step in seeking treatment. With deep respect for the human spirit, I take a strength based approach, honoring one’s experiences, identities and values.

I look forward to working with and helping people of all ages. Individuals and families can expect the use of reflective practice, mindfulness and humor. Many individuals are dealing with stressful situations with life's ever present changes. I offer assistance in goal setting and follow through. For young children and their families I use a Child-Parent Psychotherapeutic approach and can combine this with trauma work. Perinatal families can expect a deep understanding of the stages of becoming a parent and struggling.

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.

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.

Sometimes it can take awhile to feel ready to take this first step. I want you to know that I’m here to match your pace and honor your unique needs and goals throughout treatment.

Hi, I'm Amy. I help individual adults with relationship issues, and offer daytime appointments M-Th in-person or via telehealth. I work with my clients to build happier, healthier relationships with their partners, parents, friends, co-workers, etc. Many issues impact relationships: communication problems, infidelity, a pile-up of life stressors, physical or mental health issues, substance use, life-stage transitions, or patterns going back to the families we grew up in. Folks may come in for help with a current issue, or to gain insight into longstanding patterns. To learn more visit www.HealthyRelationsCounseling.com.
