Self Esteem Therapists in Westport, CT

If you are concerned about your child or teenager, I can help. I work with children, teens and young adults who are struggling with emotional and social difficulties that may interfere with feeling more secure. Parents contact me for guidance with a broad range of issues including anxiety, relatedness issues, depression, school avoidance, learning challenges, trauma and grief. Together, we can demystify symptoms difficult to understand, so you and your child can feel deeply connected. I enjoy working with tweens, teens and young adults on identity and relationship issues, family conflict, school pressure, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, motivation and self-esteem.

Do you feel discouraged, anxious, or just unable to feel better? Do you ever get stuck in your thoughts or worry that you aren't good enough? Experiencing conflict in your relationship? Struggling with adoption issues? Have a family member with special needs? Life presents us with many challenges that can be overwhelming. My priority as a therapist is to provide you with a caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where your strengths, unrecognized needs, and goals can be realized. I work with clients on creating meaningful connections, improving self-esteem and confidence, self-care, and achieving overall well-being.

Are you struggling with figuring out what is next and trying to make some life decisions? Are you seemingly stuck, feeling like you need to "get it together" or just haven't been your happiest self? Would you like your relationships to be more meaningful and fulfilling? I offer 20+ years of solution focused, therapeutic excellence to help resolve issues that create anxiety and worry. Areas of emphasis within my practice include, but are not limited to: stress management, infidelity, communication skills, women's issues, assertiveness training, self-esteem, confidence building, conflict resolution, parenting, career and life transitions, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.

I am passionate about working with young women struggling with disordered eating, body image, and identity. I treasure supporting women do the work of becoming who they aspire to be, while offering scaffolding around issues of empowerment, confidence, anxiety reduction, and self esteem . I bring to the table strong experience assisting young women through transitions and internal transformations of many kinds.

I specialize in treating women with anxiety, panic attacks, mild depression, low self esteem , relationship conflict, and stress. A client centered approach is emphasized whereby my treatment is designed to cater to the specific needs of the person at hand.

I work within a Holistic and Strength-Based Foundation, with a profound understanding of the impact of environmental elements, and the effects these elements cause in the mind and body. Emotional influences cognitive influences physical/physiological influences emotional well-being: these internal systems are intricately woven in a magnificent tapestry that is the individual at any given moment. The individual is further affected by the external systems of family, job, school, neighborhood, spiritual affiliations, nutritional selections, and on and on. I believe in the power of the individual to learn to heal the Self and achieve Wellness and Peace in all Systems.

I place importance on being approachable, thoughtful, sensitive and direct. In therapy, I think it is valuable to focus on both past and present experiences. Looking at your history can help us understand what sets of beliefs, about yourself and the world, might be holding you back from having a better experience in life - and what makes these beliefs so powerful. Examining current behaviors and interactions allows for reflection and adjustment of unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviors impeding your success and personal satisfaction.

People often tell me that I'm a thoughtful and compassionate clinician with a good sense of humor. My clinical training is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which I integrate with other treatment modalities, including DBT and mindfulness skills. My aim is to provide a supportive atmosphere where clients can work towards their goals, utilizing the strengths they have within themselves...all while learning practical skills to take forward for a healthier life.

I use all of my experience, knowledge and talent to help my clients to reach their goals. Clients describe me as warm, relatable and insightful in my approach as we confront life challenges and emotional struggles. My years of experience and extensive training in contemporary trauma and relational treatments have helped those overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts and poor self esteem . We embark together towards developing a positive sense of self and a happier life. I strive to transform painful experiences into opportunities for healing and growth.

Is the pattern of "reacting" rather than "responding" negatively impacting your relationships and professional life? Is your self-esteem battered from being constantly criticized for overreacting? These are indications that the issue lies in your nervous system rather than your cognitive process. When this is the case, it makes sense to focus treatment on developing techniques to modulate your nervous system. This will help you access critical thinking and respond in a productive way. Your relationships, career, and self-esteem will benefit when you are able to formulate a response rather than be driven by emotional reactivity.

Have you wondered if your child would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; I can help your child and family work through difficulties and become their own therapist by learning how to deal with challenges. I work well with parents, children, and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, self-esteem, and body image issues. My approach is solution focused. I am easy to talk to, compassionate, and real. Clients often see a reduction in symptoms and improvement early on in therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to seek help. I enjoy helping people face their challenges, develop their self-esteem, and make positive changes in their lives. My goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space to guide you through current problems, or long- standing issues that are holding you back from enjoying life.

In my confidential private practice established in 2014, I have supported individuals, couples, and families through difficult transitions. With intensive training in adolescence and women's issues, I am experienced and dedicated to seeing changes to the problems that my clients come to me to address. Each client's unique concern and goal is heard as we work together to heal negative thinking and relational patterns.

Dr. Rosenblum has been in practice for over 10 years treating adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger management, and PTSD. Dr. Rosenblum uses both psychodynamic theory and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to treat her patients with the goal of increasing self-awareness which allows for change. DBT is wonderful for providing skills for emotion regulation that can be used practically with 'talk therapy' to provide more immediate relief in symptoms.

Are you your best ally or your worst critic? Often we don't see how our own limiting thoughts and fears are holding us back. We become stuck in self-doubt as we judge ourselves and others. Our ability to cope becomes hindered as we struggle and resist what is around us. Therapy can provide a supportive environment to explore, identify and initiate positive change to help you move forward.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in children, adolescents and their families who are going through difficult times in their lives-depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, divorce reaction, and behavioral problems. What I love about the work I do is that, although I see people at some of the hardest times in their lives, as we work together, they find the skills, strength and desire to grow and change.

If you are struggling with being the parent you want to be, having relationship issues or managing anxiety and depression don't go through it alone. I am here to help you work through your concerns with understanding and compassion. Having been through difficulties in my own life I am empathic towards others who are struggling. We will work together to identify unhelpful patterns and how to change them. You will also have a confidential space to think through what is happening so that you can get from where you are to where you want to be. You deserve to have peace of mind and calm in your relationships.
