Therapy can be an effective treatment for many of life's difficulties. But in order to reap its benefits it is important to choose the right therapist- someone you trust who makes you feel cared for and has the experience to help you make changes for the better in your life. The therapists at Tides of Mind Counseling are experienced in many treatment modalities, they are down-to-earth and easy to relate to. They have been trained to create a psychic space in which you feel safe, "held" and supported, a vital element to effective therapy.

Tides of Mind Counseling is among Connecticut's top counseling centers dedicated to providing excellence in mental health care. Our offices are located in Waterbury & Torrington where our licensed professionals work extensively with you to manage life's challenges, promote healthy relationships and encourage inner healing.

Our therapists work very hard to provide a holistic approach to treatment and ensure that you feel supported throughout all aspects of life.

At some point in our lives, we all encounter personal challenges. I am a solution-focused therapist who is dedicated to giving you the best possible care in the shortest amount of sessions. With my straight forward and reality-based approach, I will provide you with the effective tools needed to help you overcome the destructive patterns of behavior that prevent you from enjoying life. An important component of the psychotherapeutic process is the knowledge that within each of us a deeper wisdom exists. As such, personal growth requires insight, awareness and the courage to move toward healing.

Despite difficulties in life, I believe people have an amazing amount of resilience and strength. I work to enhance their strength that gets lost when overwhelmed by challenges. Using multiple modalities, individuals move beyond their old story and into the life they desire. I have heard from clients that "therapy has never helped me" and clients of mine have achieved their goals. I have specialty training with trauma which, by definition is "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience". I assist people in trusting their innate abilities to make decisions from a healthy perspective.

There are times in our lives when responsibility and the stress of life seem to weigh us down. Who understands better than you? Fear and worry, sadness, life transitions and loss rob us of our joy and drain our energy.

Having a trained professional listen without judgement can be a liberating experience. Finding practical ways of dealing with your concerns together with someone who understands provides a level of hope and some initial confidence.
