Therapists in New Britain, CT

The best way to find a therapist who is right for you is through a referral from someone who knows that therapist. A good personal fit is the most important requirement for a positive and beneficial therapy experience. Browsing through photographs and thoughtful, sensitive, but idealized self-promoting profiles is not a very reliable way to choose one therapist out of the hundreds of attractive, thoughtful, educated, qualified and credentialed therapists in the Greater Hartford area and the many surrounding towns and cities. The Counseling & Psychotherapy Referral Service is provided free of charge by Kenneth R. Sleight, Th.M., NCC (Licensed Professional Counselor CT#000001).

If you are a woman who is struggling with self worth, self esteem, creating healthy boundaries, creating balance in her relationship, you are a woman who would work well with me. I specialize in working with women who want to be in control of their own lives but struggle to get out of their own way. Women are taught at a young age that they must care take, not disappoint and put themselves last. I work with women to unlearn those deep seeded narratives and create new ones. Learn to create healthy boundaries and build a life they feel completely unapologetic about. no longer trapped in fear, shame and guilt. I also offer coaching.

My approach is eclectic. I join you in the road to recovery. I consider myself culturally competent, trauma informed and gender sensitive. Therapy like most professions continue to evolve, therefore, I actively seek ways to improve the delivery of evidence based practices that I use. I strongly believe that each experience with clients I serve is unique and rewarding. My hope is to help clients begin the journey of achieving a life worth living.

My 30+ year career in psychology began with a specialty in the behavior problems of children and adolescents. Although this continues as a specialty, my practice has evolved to include adult, marital, and family issues. I place a strong emphasis on enhancing family harmony and cohesiveness through "common sense" parenting and developing sound marital relationships. I am aware that certain adult mental health issues may negatively impact family functioning. In some instances those adult issues need to be addressed first. I attempt to include the school and other agencies in the treatment plan when indicated.

My clients are primarily interested in self-empowerment. They are heartened by the opportunity to discover unconscious conditioning that might have stood in the way of their hope for happiness, success, and peace of mind. They feel revitalized when they gain new tools to reach their goals. One widespread issue that is common in therapy these days is 'poor boundaries.' Somatic Psychotherapy is a way to check in with the body to see what indication it offers us for a 'yes' or a 'no' to someone's request or expectation. A 'no' all too easily gets overridden by guilt, and always for invalid reasons. Learn how your body speaks volumes!
