Therapists in Sherman, CT

Are you saying to yourself that you will give your all to being a better person? Are you living your dreams? Do you have a secret that you need to share or serve in an active duty war zone? We all have moments where we need some extra help. I work within a group practice and we will listen to your relationship, family members, pain, depression, anxiety, addiction and how you really feel. We want to talk to you and offer open feedback without judgment. I work with seniors, adults, teens. We are motivating and optimistic therapists with years of experience working with employment, mental health and substance abuse addictions.

Hello! I look forward to meeting you, which is truly an honor and a delight! It takes me up to 4 sessions to truly get to know you, and tailor the right therapeutic approach to your treatment. My approach is systems-based; we are all a part of a system: environmental, familial, internal, etc. We are navigating each part of ourselves to grow and to overcome challenges. My services are great for people who want to try new therapy modalities; who value the outdoors, and who want to heal from stress.

Relationship is critical in shifting our perception of ourself and others. After years of training and varied professional and life experiences, I have created an integrative approach where you can feel seen and heard as your relationship with yourself and others (and perhaps your thoughts) changes. My clinical approach infuses mindfulness, somatics, behaviorism, developmental attachment theory, neuroscience, and compassion to promote increased clarity and fulfillment.

In a caring and supportive environment, you can explore your internal and external landscape .... at your pace and in your way. My role is to help you reconnect with your source of strength and resilience. I am dedicated to empowering you to navigate the demands of today's complex reality.

I will work with you to identify and utilize your core strengths and resilience, bringing you closer to living the life you want. We will create a roadmap and tools so you can reach your desired destination.

We have clinicians who are licensed in the state of MA, CT, and RI. Life is full of challenges and unpredictable, we can’t always mitigate or control these; the key is to be aware of our maladaptive behaviors and build strength by enhancing our awareness and creating a new path for ourselves, family, and/or couple. We understand that not everyone can heal and cope the same way.

I help clients to reduce anxiety and depression and other mental health symptoms, and to recognize their responsibility and creative power in the systems/groups they participate in: family of origin, friend group, couple, chosen family, work, religious, and societal. Counseling sessions are a journey into the present moment, with time and opportunity to sense, feel, notice thoughts, and recognize patterns. Clients and couples make confident and clear-minded choices going forward, respecting both pain/isolation and potential. The outcome is purposeful, ethical living, and the realization of their wise and compassionate nature.

We all have unique stories: some are buried deep, some are open wounds, some we band aid and some we would rather forgot. Being able to have support and a safe place to look into these stories and then change the narrative to encompass the whole story requires a readiness to grow and heal from the inside out so that your new stories empower you and impact all of your relationships, including the relationship with yourself. Are you ready to heal and move into a more authentic and connected self?

Are you an individual trying to lead the life you would like to have and not succeeding, or a married or unmarried couple in an unhappy relationship, or a parent coping with a child's behavior you don't understand? Together we can discover what is getting in the way of achieving your goals with others, and with yourself.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, motivational and collaborative using a strength-based approach. I view client difficulties through a systemic lens, integrating information from all areas of life. I help clients work through a variety of issues, such as but not limited to anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief, anger, and relational challenges.

We are often faced with circumstances which prevent us from experiencing the feelings of joy, peace, and hope which we long for. Managing day-to-day obligations and expectations can make us to feel out of balance and cause us to experience negative emotions. Meeting with a therapist who has a kind, thoughtful and objective eye can often assist in reclaiming the sense of balance, wholeness and positivity we've lost. If this sounds familiar, I would be happy to meet and discover if my training and 25+ years of experience can assist in restoring a sense wellness and satisfaction in your life and your relationships.

My ideal client is ready to work on self improvement whether it is dealing with past trauma, or with current relationships. I specialize in depression and anxiety. These are the most common afflictions in mental health but they are connected to many other issues going on in our mental health. I am also familiar with ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and other disorders. I find that everyone is different and we have to find what works for you. I encourage all my clients to practice meditation and write in a journal. I like to help my clients see something they haven't seen before so they can make lasting changes.

Clients who most benefit working with me would describe themselves as people with big hearts who would do anything for those they love. They’d say they have perfectionist tendencies and strive to be high achievers, but also carry the worry they're either not enough or a disappointment to others. They often struggle to keep emotions pushed down because they don't want to burden anyone with complicated feelings. If you’re noticing your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your ability to love, work, play, and nurture yourself, I can help you gain greater insight and new tools to bring about the change you’re craving.

My psychotherapy practice is informed by formal training in contemplative and psychodynamic therapies, valuing health and wellness. My framework is a natural outcome of my own ongoing therapeutic work and developing spiritual practice, allowing me to more fluently move between the spiritual language of love and compassion and the psychological language of emotional distress and resiliency. The focus is on the here and now, understanding that your early developmental experiences affect your present feelings, mood, and behavior, often masking your natural capacity for well-being. Those experiencing life changes, challenges, transitions, such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, work-related issues would benefit.

To help clients successfully manage the difficult challenges of anxiety and depression, I first develop therapeutic relationships characterized by empathy, unconditional emotional support, and authenticity. It is these three fundamental aspects of the therapeutic alliance, more than any specific intervention, that account for successful psychotherapy. Lastly, I am a Board- Certified Clinical Psychologist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology, and a certified school psychologist. I was educated at Georgia State University (BS), Harvard University (Ed.M.), and the Derner Institute at Adelphi University (Ph.D.).

We all know life can be tough, and this is especially true for adolescents and young adults in our increasingly turbulent world. My practice, Arete Psychological Services, is designed to address the special needs of adolescents, young adults, and their families. "Arete" is the ancient Greek word for excellence in all aspects of personhood. In the spirit of this idea, I am deeply committed to assisting young people capitalize on what is healthy and resourceful in their nature, in enabling them to use their existing abilities more effectively, to develop new life skills, and mature in positive directions.
