Adults Therapists in Waterford, CT

Therapy can be extremely beneficial for a variety of life stressors and challenges, and yet it can be overwhelming to make that first call. In my office, you will find the comfort and acceptance needed to make this process not just manageable, but rewarding and healing.

I work best with clients who are thoughtful, curious and motivated to improve their situations and see our work as a joint effort. I consider the many factors that impact mental health and take a thoughtful and collaborative approach to problem solving. I don't do marriage counseling and don't work with clients who are active substance abusers or who are involved with the legal system. I see many young adults , between 20 and 30 and do aptitude testing and career assessments as part of this work. I also offer groups.

***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CHILD/ADOLESCENT CLIENTS*** I'm a charismatic, dynamic, and dedicated therapist who offers individual, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults . In addition to "traditional" therapy, I also offer EMDR therapy - an effective, evidence-based treatment for patients with a history of trauma. My experience as an Emergency Crisis Intervention Clinician has enhanced my ability to rapidly engage with clients, develop immediate treatment and safety plans, increase clients' coping skills, conduct risk assessments as needed, and provide psychoeducation and advocacy.

I have a broad range of counseling experience and have worked with many personal, behavioral, and cultural issues over my 20+ year counseling career. I utilize a holistic approach to help you create positive change within your life. We all encounter transitions in our lifetime (e.g., divorce, relationship issues, illness, death of loved ones, occupational conflicts, separation from employment, end of military service, empty nests, etc.), but it is often the way we respond to these challenges more than the actual challenges themselves that impacts our overall physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

Are you feeling stuck, defeated, and struggling to manage your or your child's emotions? It can be hard just to make it through the day.

I’m Carleigh Hannah, LCSW and I’m here to help. My goal is to provide a safe place to explore current life challenges. I am here to root you on when things are going well, encourage you to look deeper into underlining meanings, support you through difficult life decisions and transitions.

Have you ever felt like you are on a boat lost at sea and you don't know where to turn? There are unexpected life events for human beings that can cause sudden stress, trauma, and challenges in their daily life. Without support some people have no place to turn and they feel hopeless and lost. A change in course cannot occur without action and calling in for support is the first step and sometimes the hardest step. Here at a "safe harbor" you can find respite, guidance, support, and encouragement to work through your challenges and find the inner strength to empower yourself to manifest what you need and your destiny.

My ideal client is someone who is currently lost or overwhelmed and wanting to come alive again after a major loss or transition. Or has been dealing with a physical illness, and now wants support in coming back into life in a new way. It can be easy to forget that we are not the lives we have created, we are so much more. Having help recognizing where you are going and why, and dealing with the problems that show up along the way can be necessary in looking at exactly what is happening, why they are happening, and what you want/need to change to make things so much easier to handle so you can bring in joy, peace, and your dreams.

Life is difficult at times and we have all found ourselves in situations that are overwhelming. With more than 35+ years experience as a Clinical Psychologist, my goal is to help you use your inner strengths and resources to overcome your difficulties, to find new strategies to deal with challenges, and enable you to gain a more positive perspective on your life.

I specialize in two types of clients: Couples who want to strengthen their relationship or whose relationship is hanging on by a thread and individuals who feel as if life is keeping them from achieving the best possible experiences. As someone who has lived through these scenarios and continues to thrive, I have compassion, empathy and effective tools for those highly motivated to change. Whatever the challenge, I'm honored to work with you.
