You want to transform and change but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to attain your goals. This can leave you feeling stuck, tired and vulnerable. I help motivated young women, professionals and therapists go from feeling anxious, caught in a life stage, wanting to find meaningful relationships, accelerate at work and improve self-esteem, to living an empowered life where there is a roadmap for change. We work together to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, establish an empowered sense of self and develop confidence to match. I work with those who are motivated to transform their lives with a clearer vision and path.

If you are concerned about your child or teenager, I can help. I work with children, teens and young adults who are struggling with emotional and social difficulties that may interfere with feeling more secure. Parents contact me for guidance with a broad range of issues including anxiety, relatedness issues, depression, school avoidance, learning challenges, trauma and grief. Together, we can demystify symptoms difficult to understand, so you and your child can feel deeply connected. I enjoy working with tweens, teens and young adults on identity and relationship issues, family conflict, school pressure, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, motivation and self-esteem.

The fundamental core of my practice is to foster a nurturing and open space. My genuine curiosity of people and their life story is what drew me to this line of work. We all have a story and sometimes what we need most is a safe place to share. I approach therapy with a deep sense of compassion combined with an eclectic mix of modalities which include psychotherapy, CBT, trauma-focused and mindfulness based tools. Each person is unique, so my approach is tailored to best meet your needs in order to gain a deeper sense of self.

I love helping people who are working through some particular life struggles. Life itself is a challenge to be met by all of us, with many obstacles that can get in the way. Sometimes it is difficult to see through the difficulties and navigate the maze of life's problems. I am here to help. I work with everyone in strengthening their personal self-confidence, self-esteem so that each person's potential can be maximized. I enjoy working with people of all ages, no matter what the problem or illness.

In my confidential private practice established in 2014, I have supported individuals, couples, and families through difficult transitions. With intensive training in adolescence and women's issues, I am experienced and dedicated to seeing changes to the problems that my clients come to me to address. Each client's unique concern and goal is heard as we work together to heal negative thinking and relational patterns.

Asking for help can be challenging for many people, especially when you’re not feeling your best. Given the range of options, choosing the right therapist for you may feel overwhelming and confusing. Having an appreciation of the value of the therapist-client fit, I am committed to providing a comfortable and safe environment where issues may be better understood. As a seasoned therapist, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with concerns related to self-esteem, school, ADHD, work, family, life stage transitions, eating disorders, illness and losses.

Often times the hardest part of the therapy process for you or your child is just getting started. You have made the first step by beginning your search! I have been in practice for over 10 years, specializing in treating young children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, difficulty with life changes and transitions, and anger management. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important predictor to success in therapy. I provide a warm, accepting environment where I view each patient as an individual and tailor my treatment towards their strengths and needs.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in children, adolescents and their families who are going through difficult times in their lives-depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, divorce reaction, and behavioral problems. What I love about the work I do is that, although I see people at some of the hardest times in their lives, as we work together, they find the skills, strength and desire to grow and change.

I assist my clients in moving from "Crisis To Capacity" with my approach, "The 5 Steps To Healthy Change." For CHILDREN: Adjustment therapy, behavioral and social skills training. For ADOLESCENTS: Managing the stressors and pressures of school, dating, family, and career. With ADULTS: Enhancing self-esteem, changing unhealthy life patterns and building successful personal, professional, parental, social and family lives. Expertise in supporting/sponsoring the CREATIVE PERSONALITY. For COUPLES: Communication skills and the reconfiguration of intimate partnerships for more satisfying relationships. With FAMILIES: Relationship dynamics, interpersonal skills and strategies to develop a stronger/healthier family culture.

Managing the stressors of school, work and relationships can feel overwhelming. Taking a simple, small step in reaching out for help creates space for clarity and fresh insight to emerge. My goal is to provide a safe place for counseling clients from throughout Fairfield County to get encouragement and support to navigate through life's challenges.

Life can be overwhelming. Anxiety, OCD and depression can take over our day to day thoughts, feelings and actions. No matter how hard we try we feel stuck, stressed out and hopeless. Our relationships, career, academic success, and most importantly our self esteem begin to decline. The negative self talk, rumination and intrusive thoughts grow and get louder. Now is the time for change! Imagine being happy, hopeful and productive. Welcome to the journey of healing and self discovery. I am Ilene, a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the channels of anxiety, OCD and depression.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the first step toward improving your life. If you've come this far, you may be looking for support in your life to overcome or process a recent life transition, challenge, or enhance relationships with the ones you love. I am here to provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and assist in finding new perspectives and areas for growth. I strive to meet my clients where they are, to build strength and resilience, while collaborating to change cycles of interaction that may keep them stuck and disconnected. I see families/individuals as beings desiring connection, love, and resolution.

The "unknown" of counseling may be a bit scary, especially if it is for your child. What will they talk about? Do they really need to "go see somebody?" What's the parking situation like? Let's be honest; we all need someone at one point or another, especially in our younger years of life as a child. Parenting can be HARD, and so can being a kid! I am ready to partner with you and your child to support your goals and overall wellness. I work primarily with pediatrics; ages 2-17, in the areas of school-based problems, self-esteem, executive functioning, ADHD, anxiety, friendship issues, family dynamics, and so forth.

My mission is to empower you to define and claim the authentic, peaceful life you were born to lead; letting go of self-judgment, guilt, and maladaptive patterns to uncover strength and resilience. I believe in the transformational, healing power of a trusted therapeutic relationship. I possess advanced training and expertise in a variety of evidence-based modalities. Collaborative assessments and thoughtful, intentional treatment planning yield a customized course of action tailored to match your presenting problem and case disposition. I look forward to working with you, and am honored to play a role in your unfolding story!

Feeling stuck, dissatisfied or overwhelmed? Concerned about your teen's mood, judgement or behavior? I'm dedicated to helping adults, young adults and teens get relief from emotional distress so they can lead more satisfying lives. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental space where clients can speak freely about what's bothering them and develop new, more flexible and adaptive responses to life's challenges. I focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance, where my clients feel supported and understood, to help them overcome struggles, gain self-awareness, and feel better about themselves and their relationships.

If you or your child are struggling, you’ve probably tried everything you can think of. Maybe there’s been a stressful event and you notice it’s been hard to bounce back. I help teens, young adults and adults work through problems, overcome fears and anxiety, and adapt to changes in life. I provide skill development to cope with anxiety, enhance self-esteem, build social skills, increase problem-solving and self-advocacy in an environment of acceptance and non-judgement. I support growth and forward focused outcomes, to assist you/ your child in navigating next steps with confidence.

One of the best feelings we can experience is to feel understood. I help my clients better understand themselves and others because when we understand why people behave, think, and feel the way they do we are able to form stronger connections. I have over 10 years working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with various mental health concerns. i also help strengthen connections through couples and family therapy.
