Husky | CT BHP Therapists in Kent, CT

As we are all different, so is each therapeutic relationship. Therefore, no one approach works for all. I strive to meet people just as and where they are. We best serve others by seeing them as a whole within the context of their environment. This includes our: mental wellness/ state of mind, physical/ state of body, and spiritual/ state of soul. Together we will explore the relationship between your beliefs, experiences, and the lens in which you see yourself and the world around you. My practice is person-centered and strength-based; providing insight, advocacy, education and encouragement to help people reach their goals.

Welcome all! I am happy to have you here. Celebrate yourself for seeking support during these challenging times. While it may feel overwhelming with the amount of information on the website, take a few deep breaths and ground yourself before you begin. A lot of the work I do begins with checking into how you are doing, where is your body currently at, and what do you need in this current moment. Healing begins from within. I love meeting clients where they are at and allowing their strengths to shine and guide the work. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker under the supervision of Lisa Shea, LCSW.

Does your life feel unmanageable and unbalanced? It is hard to live mindfully and prioritize yourself first and foremost, and some days it is just hard to get out of bed? It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and the "work is your worth" mindset. I take a holistic approach and aim to help young adults/adults to recognize the importance of balance, boundaries in relationships, and returning to activities that previously provided them joy. I meet the individual where they are, and with compassion, and begin to help them feel equipped to prioritize and deal with everyday stressors.

Are you wanting to ask for support? You are not alone. Thank you for reaching out. Navigating difficulties, often drains our nervous system, we lose connection to those we love. As a self-care advocate, serving since 2009, I earned my Masters's at Fordham University and have worked in all levels of care. With two Yoga Teacher Trainings & Energy Healing, I've been teaching ever since, bringing yoga, meditation and enriching healing practices into the areas sought after health care facilities. Clinical training, yogic science, energy work, coping skills, mindfulness, relaxation, creates permanent healing.

Seeking out psychotherapy is an investment in yourself so that you can reach your dreams and overcome emotional hurdles like depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and addictions. I have experience helping hundreds of people jump over these types of hurdles and get more of what they want from life. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I offer qEEG, which helps to diagnose and predict cognitive issues based on neurologically distinct brain activity, as well as Neurofeedback to successfully target those areas in the brain identified by the qEEG as dysregulated, resulting in reduction of symptoms and increase in optimal functioning.

The old stories play back in your head - an event, a relationship, a group of friends. It's hard not to compare ‘now’ to those days; life is so much harder to cope with. You wonder why you no longer connect to people in the way you once did, or maybe you never really did at all. It's a roller coaster of feelings; these memories and old stories seem to have something to do with it. You know you need help figuring it all out- the ways you've been influenced, affected, and the roles you've played in it all. Most of all, you need someone to help you re-connect to others and help you figure out who you are really meant to be.

*Not accepting new clients at this time* Life in our contemporary society is far more complicated and stressful than in previous generations. Our coping skills are continually being tested, it is important for us to learn new ways to handle life’s changing demands and challenges. People and problems do not exist in a vacuum; home, school, work, and social environments, as well as cultural heritage, are important factors in how we feel and act. It is vital for us to acknowledge and understand these influences. Counseling is a process of exploring, clarifying and identifying what we require in order to feel better about our lives.

Everyone has the right and the ability to recover from addiction. As a substance use disorder specialist I understand a wide range of addictions, and all phases of recovery - from helping individuals decide if they have a problem with addiction, to strengthening recovery and preventing relapse. Most people who struggle with addictions have other difficulties that, unless addressed, can create stumbling blocks to enjoying a happy, clean and sober life. It is my goal to help clients to identify and manage the problems that keep them from achieving what they want in life.

I'm sorry but my practice is currently fully booked. I have been helping clients through anxiety, depression, loss, and relational conflicts. Often we discover traumas that need healing, and with that we find hope and a new future. I'd like you to have hope and experience a new way forward.
