Therapists in Bridport, VT

Life’s many challenges can leave us feeling powerless, out of control, and stuck in unhealthy patterns. Our wellbeing is also affected by social and cultural factors beyond our control, such as restrictive gender roles, rigid social norms, and systemic oppression. Therapy can help you gain insight on both the internal patterns and the external pressures affecting your mental health, and it can open you up to different ways of thinking, behaving, and responding to the world.

I currently have a waitlist, but please inquire if you would like to be added to it. I hold an LICSW in VT with about ten years of experience supporting people across the lifespan. I have worked with children, teens, families and adults navigating challenges with life stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, abuse, as well as people grappling with thoughts of suicide and/or homicide. Whatever the reason you are seeking support at this time, I can help you gain meaning and understanding with compassion and empathy.

Finding balance in life can be overwhelming with contrast all around us. I am passionate about providing a safe and empowering space for individuals to be themselves. The work we do together will be intentional and geared toward self-discovery. I am dedicated to helping you connect with your inner source. Together we will explore verbal, visual and creative expression to help bring awareness to the ways in which the mind and body store and manifest negative patterns.

Hi there! Are you struggling to feel joy in your everyday life? Do you have difficulty managing your stress or worries? Are you looking to gain more insight into repeating patterns in your life? We all go through tough times in our lives, and talking to a professional can be incredibly helpful in not only learning new ways to approach the problems we face, but also in building resilience, finding joy and creating meaning through adversity. I have a focus on working with neurodivergent folks assigned female at birth.

Are you looking to find a greater sense of self-compassion, ease, and presence in your daily life? Maybe you are feeling stuck with anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship issues and can't seem to move forward in a new way. As a therapist, I aim to help you uncover the healing energy and wisdom that already exists within you. You will receive guidance and support in becoming more present and connecting with yourself, while processing past experiences and exploring current patterns that may be holding you back. Come as you are; I will meet you there.

Hi there! It is my personal belief that we are all meant to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally (that includes you). But we've all found ourselves at one point or another, feeling like life isn't exactly peachy... and trying to sort life out can feel really daunting. That's where I can help. My particular specialties are working with folks who have experienced childhood trauma and/or sexual trauma, people dealing with anxiety, or challenges in their interpersonal relationships.

The quest to live authentically is challenging but ultimately transformative. With hard work and supportive professional guidance, clients have the opportunity to examine persistent, troubling patterns without judgment or shame, and in doing so create space for growth and possibility. I work with clients age 6 to end of life -- individuals, partners, and families -- to explore individual and relational challenges that may lead to feeling depressed, anxious, or "stuck." I offer support with life transitions, including separation and divorce. My work is LGBTQ+ affirmative, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, confidential.

Are you stuck? Worried about what direction you are going in and wondering why you struggle with relationships? I work with individuals who would like to explore their relationships, goals, communication skills and want to feel more satisfaction in their life journey. I have worked with folks who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger and fear and understand we don't live in a bubble but in the structures of our lives (school, relationships, careers, communities, etc.)

I have been working as a psychotherapist, counselor, clinical supervisor and consultant for over twenty years. My approach has become eclectic and energized by my interest in family systems, substance use, emotional well being, and the possibilities offered by an in depth approach to psychotherapy. My training as an Archetypal Pattern Analyst and in orientational approaches to dream work have consistently informed my work and my enjoyment of the psychotherapeutic and consulting process. The more I learn the more respect, empathy, joy and humor I have for the act of collaboration needed to find a fuller way of being in our lives.

I specialize in working with youth & adults, couples, and families to improve personal and relational satisfaction, quality of life, and daily functioning. I use a client-centered, strength-based approach to therapy utilizing family systems, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, talk, and solution-focused therapy. I incorporate Christian counseling into therapy sessions for individuals who would like to incorporate their spirituality into their sessions. I am looking forward to working with you and or your family to gain personal insight to lessen stress and facilitate moving forward in life to create the life you want.

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

My scope and approach to clinical practice is grounded in a holistic/whole-person model. My experience and training include narrative, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavior therapy, trauma-informed care & strength/empowerment approaches. I believe that no one therapeutic approach fits all. I tailor clients' treatment plans to meet their individual needs. I work with children, adolescents & adults.

Whether you can name the challenges you're experiencing or feel an elusive 'something' not quite right in your life, a successful therapeutic experience can address these issues in a meaningful way. I am a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journeys toward mental and emotional well-being. My practice centers on supporting individuals experiencing: Anxiety and Stress, Perfectionism, Depression, Relationship Challenges, Pre and Postpartum Issues, Self-Exploration, Personal Growth, and Navigating Life Transitions.

We all arrive on this Earth with a plan. Sometimes the plan gets muddled, confusing and scary. Sometimes our labeling of these experiences as “bad” can create stagnation in growth and deny us the insight that we need to stretch into our higher versions of self. When we become aware of this, choice in growth is present. Growth is constant and never ending, especially during challenging times/barriers. However, we only grow when we embrace and feel curious about the uncomfortability. Making space for curiosity allows for integration of wisdom brought by the lessons in our suffering.

My style is very relational. I believe the strength of relationship over any modality is what is most healing in a therapeutic relationship. I am here to walk alongside you on your healing journey as a compassionate, kind and supportive witness. Offering support to those healing from experiences of trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, shame, codependency and relationship challenges. I would also be a good match for parents (soon to be parents, postpartum or parenting birth - 5 years old).

We all need someone to talk to. Whatever is going on with you, it matters. All the things that have happened in your life that make you You, matters. Some of it might be scary to talk about for the first time, and a lot of it is probably stuff you have never even realized how much it effects you. There's nothing to big or too small, that's what I'm here for; to help you sort it all out, organize it, identify and address the issues, find places to put it all. I offer mindfulness education and skill-building, kindness and understanding, and an ear that is trained to listen wisely so that I can help you learn about yourself and grow.

Welcome! I believe that every person deserves to live a life that feels the most true and fulfilling to them. My goal is to be present with you through any challenges you may be facing, while using those challenges as a powerful opportunity for healing and growth.

Are you someone struggling with anxiety, fatigue, or depression? Do you wonder about the mind + body connection? Do you seek support, compassion, and non judgement? As an art therapist and clinical counselor I am here to help you find inner guidance and confidence. My approach is humanistic, integrative, and person focused.

Learning how to hold space for yourself and your emotions can be difficult. You deserve a space to slow down, take a breath, and connect with what matters most to you - I'm here to hold that safe space for you. I enjoy working with humans who are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or are in the midst of pivotal life shifts. I also work with those healing from trauma, specifically the type of trauma that’s made you feel unseen, unheard or if you've felt unloved. We'll access a place inside you that allows you to become more curious and aware of the processes currently running your life.
