Therapists in Connecticut

***In-person openings for CT residents*** Therapy can and should be an enriching place to safely begin the process of healing and growth. Therapy requires dedication and a willingness to touch both dark and light areas of your life, and it is my goal to help you move through both worlds safely and supportively. While we cannot predict our future, we can be present in the journey. My goal is to help clients feel empowered by their work in therapy, obtain personal growth, awareness, and fulfillment, and ultimately lead a more balanced, peaceful, and rewarding life however that may look to each person.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work for 41 years, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness. I invite you to let me walk that journey with you.... -- Barbara

It is inevitable that life brings its share of pain and suffering. Sometimes this pain and suffering can be overwhelming and prevent us from living a meaningful and happy life.

With over 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health and wellness, I can help you work through the challenges you face and lead you to a more fulfilling life.

Let's talk. Life can become overwhelming, leading to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Panic attacks? Sleepless nights? Withdrawing from family and friends? Increased agitation? Often these symptoms negatively impact our ability to function well and can interfere with our relationships and the carrying out of the activities of daily living. There are many options and resources available to assist you in reclaiming your life, improving your relationships and creating a more satisfying and fulfilling existence overall. I am here to work with you, to support and challenge you, in a safe and nurturing environment. Let's get started!

I believe that everyone's journey in life is a personal one and that we all have unique strengths. There are also times in our lives that present us with challenges when we may feel overwhelmed, sad and/or anxious. It is often difficult to identify one specific reason for these feelings. During these more challenging times we may struggle to access our strengths. Psychotherapy can be a helpful way to understand the challenges you are experiencing.

Congratulations, you have made another step towards a healthier life. You are at the start of a beautiful journey. A journey full of ups and downs, but also of self-discovery, investment, and love. I am here to partner with you. Through our partnership, we will create a safe, warm, and supportive environment wherein you can express your innermost concerns without judgement. With a holistic and client centered approach, you will find your voice, sort through experiences, and discover the endless possibilities of living life on your terms.

I have extensive years of clinical experiences working with individuals with various emotional struggles with depression, anxiety, traumatic life events, and/or relationship problems. I am committed to helping people recognize their own strengths and find solutions to problems. As a bilingual clinician, fluent in Korean and English, my special interest is to work with immigrant families, assisting with their adjustments in a new country dealing with cultural differences and generational conflicts within family systems. I also would like to help military personnel and their families.

I work collaboratively with you to create a safe, supportive relationship to help you to identify and attain your goals. So often we know what is wrong but don't know how to "fix it." I work with you to get to the heart of the matter, working closely with you to find joy and contentment in work, relationships and life. My expertise as a therapist, trainer, and supervisor has shown me that deep and lasting change is absolutely possible with guidance, caring, and courage. I learn new skills every year to help you to heal from anxiety, difficult and traumatic experiences and also in parenting challenges with your child and teenager.

I’ve been in practice for 30 years specializing in couples and family work, addiction, adolescent issues, as well working with the LGBTQ community. I’m only accepting tele-health clients (online) currently and provide both pyschotherapy and consultation. I’m also available to provide supervision to MFTA’s working toward licensure or post licensure.

Welcome! I deeply believe in the importance of human connection, which is why I strive to create a safe space for you to share, truly be heard and grow. My intention is to provide you with the tools necessary for creating a life of wellness and balance. I integrate clinical therapy techniques with mind-body practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga and other holistic techniques. I specialize in working with new mama's navigating their journey to and through motherhood. I also work with young adults and adults of all ages navigating transitions, stressors, exploring spirituality and purpose.

Are you or a family member struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, crisis, issues related to spirituality, or day-to-day family challenges? Exposure to traumatic events can affect all aspects of life. Helping your grieving child can be difficult and complicated. Allow me to tailor a treatment approach that will focus on mind, body, and spirit in individual and family counseling. Allow me to help you work through these difficult life events and get you back to what matters most.

I'm passionate about working with couples. More than ever, relationship stressors and everyday issues can undermine connection, and result in couples feeling frustrated, stuck, confused and alone. Working together, we'll uncover and transform these negative cycles of interaction into positive experiences, where collaboration about differences, intimacy and joy are possible.

My ideal client is one who is seeking greater happiness and fulfillment in life. This person is dissatisfied, stuck, insecure, afraid, stressed or tired. The client has the answers within but has difficulty accessing them. I am here to help with that process. Depression, grief and/or anxiety are usually present in clients who struggle to "fit" into life. My job is to guide the client in making necessary changes they desire. I want to empower the individual vs. telling them what to do. Often trauma, intergenerational issues, addictions, abandonment/loss are part of the problem I need to address.
