Therapists in 06880

I believe that therapy can be an enjoyable, comforting, challenging, and moving process. I recognize how difficult it can be for clients to show up consistently for themselves and put in the work. It’s a privilege to be able to guide my clients through this process and I do my best to support them in whatever ways needed. I strive to create a safe and judgement-free space where clients can be vulnerable.

I am a Puerto Rican-New York-raised Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I graduated from Hunter College School of Social Work in 2010 and quickly began providing sociotherapy services to children, adolescents, and family in foster care with dysfunctional relationships. For the past seven years, I have devoted myself to treating patients during crises at a psychiatric inpatient unit. My passion is to help guide you through your own self-discovery and healing journey to become the person you desire to be. My goal for therapy is to provide a safe, trustworthy space where you feel comfortable and acceptance to share your unique story.

I’ve been in practice for 30 years specializing in couples and family work, addiction, adolescent issues, as well working with the LGBTQ community. I’m only accepting tele-health clients (online) currently and provide both pyschotherapy and consultation. I’m also available to provide supervision to MFTA’s working toward licensure or post licensure.

Our mission at Teen and Parent Wellness Centers is to provide concentrated and comprehensive treatment for mental health diagnoses and eating disorders for patients and their families. Our small-milieu settings allow for customization of care from admission through discharge/after-care. LIFT is the only Southwestern Connecticut program with PHP and IOP services offerings exclusively created and run by specialists and licensed providers. Unlike any other regional program, our direct service providers consist of a multidisciplinary clinical team of experts.

By coming here, you have taken the first step toward finding support. I am offering both telehealth and in-person sessions. In my decade of experience, I have helped individuals and their families work through anxiety, depression and life transitions. I work with teens and young adults suffering from a range of issues including: anxiety, OCD, depression. I also work with women and couples experiencing fertility issues as well as peri- and postpartum anxiety or challenges as they enter into parenthood. My aim is to empower clients to speak their truth, reflect, and tap into their strengths to find relief and joy in daily living.

I work predominately with adolescents and their families as well as adults and couples. I work with motivated but stuck clients who have/ are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I focus on the impact of these as well as other stressors and where the individual and/or family and couples' system is becoming fixed and unbudgeable.

Caroline Schiff, LCSW (owner/clinician) and Sasha Cabin, LCSW believe all people can heal, grow and improve their lives. We are here to help you find greater balance, feel more empowered, and develop a stronger sense of self. We will work together to identify the areas in your life that you want to improve and create a unique, individualized plan to get there. Our approach to therapy is empathic, non-judgmental, and entirely person-centered. By working with us, you can: experience relief, understand yourself and others better, develop new skills, become more resilient, and meet your goals.

Finding the right therapist for you, your child or your family is an intensely personal decision and there are a few things that might make me a good fit. My experience with evidence-based models provides me with a framework for treating an array of mental health and family issues and has taught me to be goal-oriented and outcome-driven. It's important to me that my clients feel relief quickly, whether it be through skill building, shifting a family dynamic or processing the root of the problem-the core conflict-that sustains the problematic feelings and behaviors.

I assist my clients in moving from "Crisis To Capacity" with my approach, "The 5 Steps To Healthy Change." For CHILDREN: Adjustment therapy, behavioral and social skills training. For ADOLESCENTS: Managing the stressors and pressures of school, dating, family, and career. With ADULTS: Enhancing self-esteem, changing unhealthy life patterns and building successful personal, professional, parental, social and family lives. Expertise in supporting/sponsoring the CREATIVE PERSONALITY. For COUPLES: Communication skills and the reconfiguration of intimate partnerships for more satisfying relationships. With FAMILIES: Relationship dynamics, interpersonal skills and strategies to develop a stronger/healthier family culture.

For the past 25 years I have worked with families, schools, and communities across the country to promote physical, social, and emotional health and well-being. Personally and professionally I strive to help individuals in the broadest sense of the word (and world), and enhance their competence and confidence to achieve success in their education, relationships, and occupations.

I approach therapy from the perspective of wanting to understand what it would mean for you as my client to have a meaningful life, and what is currently blocking that. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, so I work together with my clients to discover the internal strength and healing they already hold inside, even if they do not know it yet.

Our emotions can feel so overwhelming sometimes and I am here to help you gain control back over your life. My background in marital and family therapy coupled with intensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps my clients to strengthen their skill sets to feel more in control of their emotions while increasing positive interpersonal relationships. My areas of expertise are in working with clients with eating disorders, family discord, anxiety, difficulties with regulating emotions, self-injury, depression, interpersonal problems, and impulsivity.

My goal is to combine my compassionate approach with evidence-based methods which I tailor to each individual. Through my therapeutic services, I work to build an authentic relationship not only with each child I see, but also with their family. Rather than placing your child into a predetermined box, I consider their developmental stage, and we will work collaboratively to understand their strengths and challenges and address their needs. Most importantly, I always meet each client exactly where they are on their journey.

Is your child or teen dealing with anxiety, OCD, or depression? Do they feel frustrated, sad, stuck, irritable, and lonely? Symptoms like poor school performance, family conflicts, weak peer ties, and physical issues (e.g., stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems) often indicate their struggle. They may battle repetitive negative thoughts, suggesting impending doom, inadequacy, or harm, causing distress. These challenges not only hurt the child but also disrupt family harmony, leaving parents heartbroken.

I am a Licensed Master Social worker in Connecticut and New York. I hold an M.Ed in Human Development and Psychology and am also a certified professional coach with ICF accredited training. I work with adolescents and adults at all life stages to help process whatever concerns they are facing, from relationship or professional stressors to major life transitions. I specialize in women's mental health and well-being, including career, marriage, family, parenting, peri/menopause and aging. I also work with parents and caregivers to help navigate their children's anxiety, depression, OCD, and other complicated diagnoses.

My clients come in with many different troubles and often, the troubles lead to a great many other problems that they have or have had in their lives. There is no problem too big and there is a way to live better. I believe we are looking for contentment. To feel "okay" and, today's society tries to warp us into believing we are not okay because we need something else than what we have right now. We all have the capacity to choose a better life, better relationships, better care for ourselves. The answer is not outside of us but within. I work with children, teens and adults that think they're not enough. We are all enough.

I provide a holistic, integrated and collaborative approach to therapy in a trusting, calm and comforting environment, helping navigate current relationship difficulties while empowering each individual to access their authentic self and harness their full potential.
