Adults Therapists in Windham County, CT

Together, we will explore strategies to increase your insight (the ability to see your larger picture, connect present and past experiences, and plan for the life you want to live). I believe that therapy is half science and half art form...It can be skills-based or more existential in nature. You and I will find what works best for you - and then, simply stated, follow that path. It is my professional and personal conviction that you deserve to have a therapist who is 100% present for you, respects your life experience and culture, and utilizes tools that feel right and make the most sense to you.

The truth of what is essential to know, you are whole just as you are, and you do not need to be, fixed. You may have been through unforgettable experiences that created the belief you are not good enough or that you are less than enough. All of these untruthful messages get internalized and often become the story of your inner critic. This builds an even stronger falsehood. What is wrong with me? This health crisis can stir up emotions of disconnection. Therapy will expand your capacity to cope and ignite your sense of hope. Hope has the power to build resilience and support mental wellness even in difficult times.

I’m Jessica, a Licensed Professional Counselor that specializes in trauma, PTSD and grief. We all know that life can be hard, we can feel lost in it, or it can become chaotic. The journey to noticing that life has become unmanageable isn't easy, but having that understanding is important. I’m here to say congratulations on taking that first step in asking for help. I hope to aid you in your journey at a pace that is comfortable for you to meet your goals. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for therapy sessions. I also focus on using a person-centered approach.

When you’ve experienced painful life events or struggle with mental health challenges, starting the healing process is not an easy task. In fact it is often easier to avoid it or numb the pain, to continue the same patterns and to repeat past experiences (the past experiences you always hoped you wouldn't repeat). Somehow we find ourselves in a life story and we wonder how we got there. We will never be able to re-write our stories until we can actually be present with the painful life experiences that have led us to where we are in life. Therapy gives us the space to start this process.

Do you find yourself conflicted within your thoughts and feelings? Do you spend a lot of mental energy trying to cope with your inner angst and turmoil or sadness or anger? maybe even rage? or Fear? Do you find yourself wishing you knew how to feel better emotionally so you could just be more happy in life? Our Feelings are a wonderful gift that makes us HUMAN but when our feelings are not balanced, when we are carrying unresolved issues from past, when we are flooded by feelings and not able to see things clearly, they provide the biggest pain and heartache in life. Would you like someone to help you with your inner struggle?

Sometimes in life we experience situations that can be overwhelming, and we begin to struggle with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Other times we or our family members may experience more chronic difficulties that impact our functioning. Therapy is available to assist you in finding balance in your life through learning appropriate ways of coping and learning new skills, increasing motivation and letting go of pain. I am a warm and compassionate person here to hear you, and to provide guidance to you, using a positive outlook, sense of calm, and humor when appropriate.

I have a waiting list for new clients. Am I the right therapist for you? To make the most progress, it really does require having a good fit with the therapist. I find that I work well with most people. Those who claim they don’t like anyone tend to do well with me. I’m easy-going yet also diligent when it comes to giving my attention to the person in front of me. I make eye contact and I really listen. The most frequent feedback people give me is that I am easy to talk to. People have also told me that they simply feel better after talking to me. My approach is supportive and I strive to make people feel understood.

Sometimes in life we can get off track or even experience circumstances beyond our control that just throw us off our course. Finding direction and getting back on track can be difficult, just as difficult as finding a listening ear and someone we can trust and depend on. I'm here to say that it doesn't have to be, and I'm here to begin the journey with you wherever you are in that process.

Are you struggling to manage anxiety and stress? Feeling sad, and maybe frustrated with how you feel versus how you think you should be feeling?

Hello! The clients that I work well with, are those that feel stuck . Perhaps, re-living past trauma,or having difficulty moving on from a set back or loss.

After almost 30 years in mental health, I'm still passionate about the work I do. With that said, I'm here to help with the problems that have brought you to therapy. Gathering information and developing our relationship, along with trust and creating a safe space to share are my strengths in helping others. I use various approaches to assist clients. Along with this, I enjoy educating about how we learn and form in an inter-generational family system and how we can transmit problems in that family system unconsciously. This can inform and empower growth and change.
