Compassionate heart centered counseling services. Open Minds Counseling is a group practice of Licensed Mental Health Providers dedicated to the work of helping people find wholeness and healing. Located in Durham Connecticut, we provide in-person and telehealth counseling for residents of Connecticut. Our team offers Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed treatment, EMDR, HeartMath biofeedback, expressive art therapies, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Holistic Centered Counseling and group counseling for teens and adults. Open Minds Counseling is a women owned counseling practice.
Many of our clients seek support as they transition into new life stages. This includes beginning or finishing college, life changes and deconstructing from religion. Feminist Counseling is of special interest. We work with clients to help examine the stressors that women experience due to biases and discrimination that may affect one’s mental health.
At Open Minds Counseling we believe every client is deserving of trust that they can make good decisions for themselves and that they’re innately worthy of peace. Engaging in counseling is being kind to yourself. It is prioritizing your wellbeing. It is the first step towards opening our minds to the possibility that there is another than "just getting by".
