Therapists in Connecticut

Live Free represents our mission statement. It can be difficult to continue daily activities when we constantly worry about the future, dwell on our past and struggle with managing current stressors. Our passion in life is to help others live their life by having more control of one's thoughts, feelings, and physical well-being. We do this by providing support and using techniques such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Tree of Life Counseling Center- An integrative, multicultural, practice of compassionate healing and growth. At A Tree of Life Center, you are not just lectured at or listened to. We create more of a learning and practicing environment until it feels natural. Everyone starts out in life learning from our experiences and those who raise us. Later we can add more effective communication approaches, gain a deeper understanding, and efficient, empathetic problem solving. We've led people to a better understanding of themselves and accomplishment of their goals.

The best way to find about me is to check out my web site, dr-rick.com. There, you'll get a good sense of my perspective and how I view life's challenges and opportunities. Don't miss the "blum-blog." My style of practice is ideal for people who want real change in their lives, who expect that their therapist knows how to achieve this, and who are eager to learn about themselves in order to make it happen. The best approach includes our becoming a team, each bringing our part to the adventure.

In a world that often tells us to figure everything out on our own, asking for help is a true sign of strength. As a clinician, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can work to create change.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am also certified in Intensive DBT. I am a client focused therapist who treats all individuals with respect and dignity in a non-judgmental environment. I use humor compassion and empathy to move clients forward in the pursuit of their goals.

There comes a time in your life when you decide that you want something different. It may be a change in behavior, your way of thinking, or how to approach situations or others. I am here to be your impetus for change. Every human being has the power for greatness if they choose to embrace it. My goal is to help you evoke a lighter heart, perhaps fix what's broken, tackle what weighs you down, gain a different perspective, and unlock the greatest version of yourself.

My goal is to join in your journey of healing & growth to rejuvenate your mind, body, spirit, and soul. I provide a space to let go of the pain; while holding the hope that you are not yet able to see. I use a holistic approach to wellness by detoxing your life.

Life can be unpredictable. It's often difficult to know where to begin to lift the weight off of your shoulders that things like stress and anxiety can add to. Making decisions, balancing relationships, maintaining a positive sense-of-self and many other aspects of our lives can take a back seat when life gets in the way. I find those first steps and reaching out for support to be the most difficult but I hope to make it a comfortable and easy environment for clients to do so. Whether you're a new parent, a student, someone who is affected by trauma or someone who feels they have lost touch with themselves: I am here to support you.

What is a “mindful parent,” exactly? A mindful parent is the one that asks: how do I know that what I am doing is preparing my child mentally and emotionally for an increasingly complex future? How do I optimize the relationship I have with them right now to better ensure they become an adult that is empowered not entitled, self-reliant and compassionate, curious, and competent in a world of increasing artifice? Those are great questions and, luckily, we have the answers. Developmental research has identified ways you can enhance the parent-child relationship to prepare your child for a more secure, autonomous adulthood.

It's not easy reaching out for professional help with relationship, family or emotional problems, but I hope you choose to take this important first step toward changing your life for the better. In my 30 years of practice, I have never felt a greater sense of hope and optimism about what talk therapy can realistically offer to reduce suffering and improve our personal and family lives. I can present you with a "user friendly" path into treatment that will ease your very understandable anxiety and skepticism. My goals for you as a client are learning, growth, empowerment and customer satisfaction.

Hello and welcome! I'm glad you've taken the time to visit my profile. I'm Zach, a dedicated and passionate mental health professional with a focus on helping adolescents, teens, and young adults navigate the unique challenges they face in today's world. My primary areas of interest lie in working with this vibrant and dynamic age group. I firmly believe that these formative years can be some of the most transformative in a person's life. It's a time of self-discovery and immense growth. I am here to offer guidance, support, and a compassionate ear to help you overcome obstacles and realize their full potential.

I love my work and feel incredibly fortunate to have formed so many meaningful therapeutic relationships. It is a privilege to travel with clients as they emerge from suffering and utilize the strengths they have found and the skills they have learned to achieve balance and ultimately, their life goals. The relationship between therapist and client is a real, equalitarian relationship built on honesty, respect, and collaboration. As we get to know each other, you will find that I am warm, genuine, non-judgmental, flexible, direct, and irreverent. I have a good sense of humor and believe that laughter is an important part of healing.

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.
