*Accepting new clients at expanded practice location* Do you want to live a life with greater freedom? What if I told you that you could be truly happy, live without anxiety, and have mastery over your body and mind? I understand that everyone is in a different part of the healing process and will design a plan with you to meet your specific goals.

I have years of experience working in both residential and outpatient settings, with a focus on addictions, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma.

I believe that everyone has the potential to change and grow. Recovering from substance abuse or addiction is a unique experience, which requires specialized treatment and understanding. In my experience, treating everyone in the same way leads to many people feeling unheard and discarded. Every person is an individual, suffering from problems specific to his/her life experience. We will work together to address your unique needs, in a safe and caring environment.

As a Licensed Addiction Counselor, I am motivated to work with people struggling with Substance Use Disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders. I pride myself on being positive, non-judgmental and solution focused and will help explore and educate to help anyone achieve and sustain recovery. I believe that there is not one simple way for one to obtain sobriety or recovery and that treatment should be individually based focusing on one's strengths and motivation. I am also a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with individuals, couples and families that are having issues with relationships.

I have exceptional success with children, teens, and young adults. I work with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD and learning disabilities, eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, addiction recovery, and autism. I listen carefully, have an active and direct style, and believe that everyone needs compassionate understanding and specific answers to meet their needs and move on.

I work with older children, adolescents, young adults, and their families who struggle with trauma, substance abuse, self-injury (cutting), peer relational skills, parent-child conflict, anxiety, and depression.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and take the first step towards obtaining help for yourself or someone important to you. My name is Michael Wolftrand and I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor seeing clients in New Hartford, CT. I have experience working with all age groups, with a specialty in child and adolescent counseling. Please feel free to contact me with any questions so that we may learn more about each other.

I've helped many people cope with excessive life stress, resolve problems in relationships, recover from difficult divorces, manage traumatic bereavement and loss, cope with major life transitions, and develop effective strategies to manage changes in their lives. I served as the director of the Counseling Center at Pace University for 24 years. I've also worked in multiple settings with diverse populations including active duty military personnel, veterans of military service, persons in 12-step programs (AA NA DA), adolescents and their families. I also enjoy helping men to better understand and talk about their feelings.

My name is Randy Carrin, Psy.D. I tailor my psychological treatment to the particular needs of my patients, and to specific therapeutic aims. I specialize in a cognitive-behavioral approach to successfully treat a multitude of psychological problems. Among these are anxiety and stress-related disorders; depressive disorders; pain-related disorders; chronic illness; post-traumatic stress; relationship difficulties; grief, loss and bereavement; HIV and AIDS; sexual difficulties; adoption-related issues; and the emotional upheaval associated with infertility. I generally treat adults and couples. Prior to establishing a practice in Waterbury, I worked elsewhere in Connecticut, and have also spent several years working and living abroad.

"What hurts the most is pretending it doesn't." Reaching out to others for help is never easy, going it alone is even harder. Life sometimes provides us with demands, challenges and obstacles that sometimes can become overwhelming. Do you have a rough time at school, tired of arguing with your parents. Are you struggling with relationships, going through a breakup/divorce. Maybe your suffering from anxiety, stress or depression. While creating a supportive environment we can work together on building a solid foundation and begin to change how you see others, how you see circumstances and more importantly how you see yourself.

As an Adjunct Professor, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than 18 years experience, I believe the best way to conduct therapy is through understanding the relationship you have with yourself first. This relationship then translates to happier connections with others including parents, spouse, partner, co-workers, and co-dependent relations including various addictions. By improving your relationships in all aspects of your life, you will see results in decreasing your anxieties and depression. Located in Torrington (glass building). Accepting HUSKY, BCBS, etc.

I am committed to creating a caring, accepting and non-judgmental environment in which clients feel understood, valued, and safe to open up, explore and express their thoughts and feelings. I work with symptoms of anxiety disorders including panic, OCD and phobias using the most effective evidence-based, shorter-term cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based therapies which help reduce acute symptoms within weeks. For people seeking to overcome longer term depression, anger, low self-esteem and self-defeating habits that keep them from living life more fully, I use longer term insight-oriented psychotherapy.

Yes, you have strengths. When you feel anxious, depressed, traumatized, or overwhelmed in general, it is easy to forget about your natural strengths and capabilities. I am eager to work with you to identify your strengths and help you move forward in a positive direction.

I work with adolescents and adults on an individual, couple, or family basis. Having experience with both clinical and medical social work has provided me the ability to help and guide others through empathy and education. I specialize in anxiety, depression, chronic illness, addiction, loss and grief, and relationship issues. I also can assist with body image and eating disorders as well as career coaching and daily life skills.

We live in a very stressful time. Mindfulness is vital as we must increasingly live in the present. I work with clients to improve self-awareness: change beliefs, habits and approaches that keep us stuck. Positive psychology, used as a tool for improving mental health, seems utterly connected to better physical health. Clients report feeling more alive, more in control, better able to face internal and external obstacles including extreme stress, challenges, and more courage to change their world. I help folks tap into their own internal power and confidence and grow in their relationships (work and play).

It takes COURAGE to seek out therapy and face your challenges. We also need COURAGE to trust a stranger to fully listen to you and treat your concerns with care and respect. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to work as a team to overcome barriers/obstacles. Therapy can be both challenging and rewarding. As your therapist, I will provide an empathetic ear, help find solutions, discuss underlying issues, identify unrealistic expectations placed on you or the world around you, teach coping skills and be a therapeutic ear as you build the COURAGE to face your challenges.

Our mission at the Athlete's Resource is to support athletes in the challenges they face throughout their career. For athletes recovering from sport injury, we collaborate with outside providers (i.e., physical therapists, athletic trainers, etc.) to support and guide athletes through emotional and behavioral aspects of their recovery. We teach athletes skills to increase motivation, concentration, and confidence to optimize their mindset for play. For athletes transitioning out of sport we provide education on what athletes can expect, coping strategies, and a space to process the losses associated with this transition.
