Jungian Therapists in West Hartford, CT

Thank you for visiting my profile.. How do you know that the unknown person you are reaching will be able to be attuned to you in the ways that you need? It's hard to discern this just from reading someone's profile. Most of my clients feel they know me before they reach out because they are referred by current or former clients. I like that but what about individuals who don't have the benefit of that pre-service information? I usually suggest potential clients schedule a FREE meeting for this reason. I hope you will consider doing exactly that.

I have always gained great satisfaction from helping people feel happier and in learning more effective ways to achieve more fulfilling lives. Those clients who are eager and open to learning more about themselves in order to achieve these goals benefit most from my approach as a therapist. I often focus, therefore, on insight, meaning, and symbols (including dream interpretation)in order to help clients establish a more positive and accepting perspective of themselves and others. In therapy, I work with obstacles against achieving these goals that include anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and interpersonal and relationship issues.

I work with individuals and couples in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment. My clients are looking to overcome challenges, find solutions and meaning, direction, healing, balance, and clarity in their personal and professional lives. My areas of expertise include spirituality, effective communication, grief and loss, childhood and adult trauma, coping skills, finding meaning, church/spiritual abuse, abandonment, anger, life transitions, men’s issues, self-esteem, veterans, professional development and ACOA.

We all have the power to heal. Within each of us are emotional parts that guide our choices, lifestyle, and overall way of being. These parts are created through our experiences, generational burdens, or through childhood trauma. In our work together, I will guide you in looking inward, seeking to identify your unique parts, how they came to be, and eventually learn to embrace them. It is through this inward journey, that you begin to feel love, kindness, and whole. In my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is unique to each client.

I have been working as a clinician in the mental health field for seven years, I have learned that out of all the treatment modalities that mindfulness is the most enriching for the entire body. Human beings often forget that we have no control over yesterday and no control over tomorrow, that we can only control what is happening right now. Being more in the moment. I have worked with and helped many people with a multitude of psychiatric issues, I find the brain fascinating, and I also believe that people think that they are alone when they aren't, and I enjoy helping people face those challenges.

The fact that you are here and searching for a therapist is a sign of health. My promise is to make a safe place for you and really listen, support, and guide you. I am interested in your uniqueness, your hidden resources, strategies proven to work, mindfulness-based stress reduction, developing trust in one's internal guidance system, and practices that deepen a sense of connection and purpose. Our relationships are like a mirror where we can learn and grow and heal all wounds. When we have difficulties, we have rich opportunities. Short cut, pick up one of my books at www.JimHughes.org they reduce the need for psychiatric care.

My intention as a therapist is to be your guide on your journey to healing. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and create the life they have always dreamed of. Many times we have unconscious blocks that keep us from living the life we want. These "blocks" are often unhealed wounds that cause individuals to have negative beliefs, anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms. I can assist you in identifying these blocks and restoring the natural balance with your mind, body, and spirit.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have worked with adults and adolescents in the Greater Hartford area for over eight years. My specialties include working with individuals and families to identify and heal intergenerational patterns of trauma and helping adolescents and pre-teens navigate the often-bumpy journey from puberty to launching. I have a passion for working with couples, challenging them to improve communication and to invite intimacy, passion, and security back into their relationship.

My name is Kate Gorman, LCSW, with over 24 years experience in psychotherapy. In this very specialized group we will walk through the timeline of your life events, family patterns and negative thinking that have shaped how you feel now. We will learn to find the thought patterns and utilize brain reprogramming techniques to rewire how to think and feel. This a group that integrates the biology of the brain with the complexities of our life and life history. Reduce anxiety, resolve triggers, learn new coping strategies and release the baggage!

Welcome. I am an experienced therapist who works with adults, children, & couples to reach their highest potential. My approach weaves together a respect for my clients strengths and life experiences with practical techniques for change.

The hypnotic approach to treatment is generally symptom-focused. It requires a structured time frame and use of trance in some form. Hypnosis is the preferred choice in dealing with many problems. It offers a unique ability in many cases as it deals with working through the unconscious mind. Hypnosis is an ancient art with a rich and varied history. It has been used to perform painless surgery, to ease childbirth, fear of flying, nail biting, fear of public speaking, headaches, insomnia, stress relief, dysphagia, past-life regression, sports performance, test performance, music performance and much more.

Specializing in couple's communication and post divorce counseling. I am open to working with everyone. Attitude and readiness help, but life isn't always playing along. So it's not a requirement. But generally I look for honesty to start. If you have the courage to share your truth, you can likely cultivate the insight, courage, and compassion needed to heal and grow. Whatever the issue, we can work together to discover what you need. I also offer groups for post-divorce recovery and singles as well as a men's group. I also provide support for those engaging an authentic spirituality.

Did you know that the most important part of communication is invisible! It is more than words, gestures, and tone. It is called “mentalizing.” Mentalizing is a genetic brain network used for making sense of what people say-it helps us understand the mental states of others and thus, know how they might respond to us. Genetic variations in this brain network can lead to great skill or mild to severe difficulties in communication effectiveness. A person can have average to superior intelligence and still have difficulty understanding the mental states of others. Connection with others may be difficult to establish or preserve.

You CAN heal from stress, trauma, and break free from habits and patterns that keep you stuck! We will focus on exploring root cause, not just treat symptoms and I will support you along your unique path of life so you can manifest everything you are intended to be. Taking an integrative/holistic approach to the healing process, I highly regard the connection between mind, body and spirit. We will be proactive and empowering when it comes to your mental health and wellness, designing a plan unique to YOU.
