Therapists in New Milford, CT

I am a Licensed and Marriage Family Therapist Associate who strives to provide a safe space for individuals, couples, and families to process relationship challenges, difficult life transitions, anxiety, grief, and effective communication strategies. My passion is to help others heal, grow, and acquire the skills necessary to overcome many of life's challenges.

As a person who has been challenged by my own anxiety issues and sought help and insight through counseling, I understand that it often takes more than just knowing your "story" to create effective and lasting change. I discovered hypnotherapy as a "last resort" and within eight sessions my general anxiety decreased and my fear of flying all but disappeared. I believe the key to that kind of change comes from an openness to possibilities and a readiness to let go of old thought patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you.,

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist working in Connecticut for 28 years. I like a relaxed atmosphere in which clients can set goals for therapy and explore what may have been getting in the way of achieving their desired outcomes. Discussing patterns of behavior and self limiting beliefs we are able to get to the core of the issues so the client can move forward with success.

Hi my hours are Monday through Thursday from 9am-2pm. I enjoy helping people find balance in their lives. Some of the issues I treat include: depression, anxiety, divorce, couples or family conflicts, self esteem issues and much more. I have been in practice for 23 years and use a variety of techniques to help people feel better and use tools well after therapy is over. Some include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Gestalt techniques. I often give homework assignments so that healthy work can continue outside of the therapeutic session. I see clients that range in age from 14 thru the elder years.

I believe in providing a safe environment in which to build the trust so necessary in the therapeutic relationship. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief or any life transition such as divorce or death, I will work with you and together we can design a treatment goal that is right for you.

Long-term happiness typically comes from enriching connections to other people. Unfortunately, most of us receive sparse training on how to create and sustain healthy relationships. My particular passion is teaching couples and families how to give love and support--despite our inherent human flaws. In fact, good relationship skills are likely to increase satisfaction and success at work, school, or with friends. I approach couples therapy primarily from the Relational Life perspective developed by Terry Real, but I bring in elements from other modalities when appropriate. The primary focus is your relationship and what you need.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with adults and couples. My approach is client-centered helping to bring that much needed physical and emotional balance back to the client. I am a Gottman trained Couples Therapist and have a strong background in helping clients work through grief and bereavement issues having helped in the development of three Hospice programs.

I am an experienced clinician, who strongly believes that therapy is a partnership. I see my role as helping an individual arrive at mutually agreed upon goals, which will lead to a better quality of life. I am an active participant in our sessions and believe that warmth and sometimes humor are an important part of the therapy process. My therapeutic style is engaged, active and pragmatic. My goal is to create a supportive yet challenging environment, while focusing on getting to the main issues quickly and safely.

I respect my chosen profession of psychology and protect the sacredness of trust given to me. I hope it was earned by the many people who have touched me and kept me from taking myself too seriously. There is nothing magic about therapy. It answers two basic questions: Who am I? and What do I want to do with my life? I am a clinical and health psychologist who believes in physical, emotional and spiritual health. I also coach business owners and aspiring writers.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Therapist. I have worked with children of all ages, families, couples, adults and seniors. I have a BA and an MS from Western CT State University.

I know change can be scary and hard, but I believe that you can make changes in your life with the right support, tools and encouragement. We will work together to move you forward and enjoy your future.

My goal as your therapist is to help you cope with the difficult problems that are standing in your way, causing pain and confusion, and through understanding reach your goals and resolve conflicts.

The Power of Choice... to make our lives into what we want them to be... an awesome privilege and responsibility. Sometimes we need assistance and a fresh perspective to help us get there. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I will provide empathy and validation for your feelings and experiences. Genuine caring can go a long way in helping you heal from some of your deepest wounds. It is also important to have an atmosphere of accountability to increase the possibility of positive change.
