Therapists in Connecticut

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

My name is Wendy, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be rooted in respect, compassion, and genuine understanding. My approach combines evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These goal-oriented strategies empower you to tap into your own strengths and create meaningful, lasting change—often allowing you to see progress sooner than expected. I work with adults, adolescents, and children, and I am committed to meeting you where you are. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, or communication issues, I’ll be here to support and guide you every step of the way. I’m glad you’ve taken this important step toward change. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move forward on your path to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I'm the only therapist in the world who works with adults with Autism AND is writing this profile! Below is my more clinical introduction: Authentic communication is an important part of the therapeutic process, especially for neurodivergent clients.

Together, we’ll find solutions that you can feel good about and empower you to make lasting change.

Hi, I’m Rebecca. Starting therapy can feel a little scary or uncertain, and that’s completely normal. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your relationships and life, reflect on what’s important to you, and find ways to move forward with confidence, clarity, and a sense of hope.

Life can be overwhelming, and it takes courage to seek support. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in Michigan and now also in Connecticut, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I am passionate about helping adults heal from the pain of depression, anxiety, grief, and substance use—especially when these struggles are rooted in past trauma. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back, and I will guide you with a blend of evidence-based techniques, empathy, and yes, even laughter. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping and find more peace in your life, I’m ready to help. Let’s connect and begin this work together.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Maybe lately you haven't felt like yourself. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, exhausted from trying to keep up with everything, or struggling with motivation. Perhaps anxiety is making everyday situations feel harder than they should, or you're dealing with depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or a major life transition and aren't sure how to move forward. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including crisis situations, suicidal thoughts, family conflict, and significant life changes. My experience has taught me that there isn't one approach that works for everyone. I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively to understand what they're experiencing and what they need. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based therapy, compassion-focused therapy, DBT-informed strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and family therapy to help clients better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical tools for navigating challenges. Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. If you've been thinking about reaching out, I'd be happy to meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward feeling more like yourself again.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. As a therapist over the last 13 years I have worked with a wide variety of people as an advocate and an ally in helping them heal and grow through the therapy process. Beginning to look for a therapist can bring on anxiety, but know that taking this step is already a major sign of growth. I help work through the chaos inside one's head to identify what are the actual causes of anxiety, stress, and depression. In sessions it can be a time to process emotions, but more importantly, to identify the cause of stressors and what is and is not in your control. I help people learn to set boundaries, work on self-care, and coping skills, and be true to their authentic selves. I have always been an advocate for those that don't feel that their voices are heard including: LGBTQIA+ individuals, TBI survivors, Neurodivergent individuals, parents, college students, healthcare workers, teachers and individuals looking to find their self-worth. My approach starts with a person-centered mindset and by working together we will decide which therapeutic techniques will work best for you as an individual.

Hi, I’m Tiffani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Connecticut with 11 years of experience helping people navigate depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and complicated family dynamics. I’ve had the privilege of working with people through many different seasons of life, and those experiences have shaped the way I practice today—warm, direct, collaborative, and culturally affirming. Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of finding yourself in the same patterns. Maybe you know something needs to change but aren’t quite sure where to start. You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Hello, and welcome! I’m Ana Blondet, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, meeting you where you are while helping you build the tools and confidence to move forward. In addition to providing therapy, I have spent more than a decade working as a school social worker, supporting elementary-aged children, many of whom receive special education services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This experience has given me a deep understanding of child development, behavioral challenges, family collaboration, and advocating for students’ social and emotional success. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, emotional regulation, and family concerns. As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and strive to create a culturally responsive and welcoming environment for every client. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to incorporate Christian faith into the therapeutic process while providing respectful, evidence-based care for individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs. My goal is simple: to help you heal, grow, and thrive, one step at a time.

Hi there, my name is Emily and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in CT and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in IL who works with adolescents and adults using a variety of theoretical perspectives in individual, family and group therapy sessions. I have 15 years of clinical experience in a variety of environments including outpatient, inpatient, community, and in-home settings. I specialize in working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and clients of all ages who have experienced varying types of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. This experience has helped to expand my clinical areas of expertise such as stress and anxiety reduction, management of depressive and mood symptoms, harm reduction and substance abuse, and symptoms/risk behaviors associated with personality and attachment disorders. Additionally, I have worked within the foster care system providing both individual and family therapy services to children, adolescents, and guardians. I incorporate an array of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and solution-focused interventions into my treatment approach. In my extensive work with anxiety disorders and effects of trauma, I have frequently utilized DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) techniques, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and other interventions which focus on the psychosomatic manifestation of mental suffering in the body. I am motivated to help clients integrate past experiences into their current identity to increase insight in such a way as to make progress toward personal goals.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be compassionate, practical, and purposeful. My approach focuses on helping you understand the patterns that keep you stuck, clarify the values and priorities that matter most, and make meaningful changes in your life. I work collaboratively with clients while also being willing to ask difficult questions and address what may be getting in the way. My goal is simple: help you build a life that is more aligned with who you want to be—simple, not easy.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards your healing and self discovery. The successful therapeutic process requires a safe connection with your practitioner. If after reading my profile you suspect my skills are aligned with your needs, we can set-up an exploratory session to create a plan that works best for you in our partnership together. I understand that looking for quality therapeutic services can feel like a challenge and as the world evolves, so does the sense of ourselves begin to unfold. I value and advocate for the dignity of all cultures, respect our differences, and provide a safe space to explore the injustices we encounter. In the early days of my career, I began with an interest in the grassroots work to help strengthen communities. I've supported many individuals throughout the world with a strong interest in healing and teaching others on how to find their own voice. Over the past 20 years, I've practiced in a variety of treatment modalities with a strong focus on a holistic approach. I hold a dual Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and Leadership. Within my professional journey, my expertise in delivering therapeutic services range from Early Childhood Development to Older Adults in a variety of settings but not limited to e.g. schools, hospitals, nonprofit, community programs, and residential treatment. Today, my specialties include trauma focused therapy, psychotherapy, defining our attachment styles, CBT, mindfulness techniques, life transitions, work-related stress, coaching, and exploring intergenerational patterns. I'm passionate about the Arts and have incorporated them into my practice, which influenced my style of therapy. This modality can help connect the mind and body in ways to recenter and express ourselves. Ultimately, my goal is to help uncover some of the challenges you're facing and amplify the strengths you already have.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can talk openly about what’s going on in your life without fear of judgment. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what matters most and finding practical, meaningful ways to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident moving forward.

Over the past nine years, I’ve worked across Connecticut’s community mental health system, including adult outpatient services, jail diversion programs, child and family services, extended day treatment, adolescent and adult substance use treatment, intensive in‑home family therapy, and extensive clinical work with service members, Veterans, and first responders. My therapeutic style is integrative and trauma‑informed, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment‑based models, and somatic awareness practices. I help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and build secure, meaningful relationships with themselves and others. I believe healing happens within compassionate, attuned relationships. Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in our work together.

Hi! I'm a licensed mental health counselor living in Savannah, GA, licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I've been doing this work for 15 years, in settings ranging from community-based support to inpatient, partial hospital, and integrated primary care. I lean on evidence based strategies like CBT and DBT, but the real foundation is understanding how life experience and trauma live in the body, not just the mind. My job is to help you figure out what "better" actually looks like for you, then build a space where we can get there together.

I am a licensed, independent clinical social worker that has more than 20 years in the field of helping others. I have worked with clients of all ages from "the littles" at two years old with Autism to those 90+ and above who are coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis. I specialize in working with women, men, and all included in the LGBTQIA+ population. My clinical work has included hospice work, school social work, in home therapy and outpatient clinical work. I love helping people live their calmest and most productive life possible and I truly believe in a positive growth mindset- we are all operating at our best capacity we are capable of at any given moment! As a therapist, I am currently accepting patients who are struggling with depression, anxiety or mood or attention problems. I practice from an existential point of view and believe that my clients are the best experts in their life so I look to our relationship as a partnership of work together moving forward while healing past traumas and experiences that might be holding you back. You have amazing potential- you just need to unleash it and realize the strength that you have within! I look forward to being a guest on your journey to inner peace and strength and look forward to empowering you to take back control in your life to be the best YOU possible! As I am assessing whether we are a good "fit" (as I hope you do as well), there are instances that, professionally, I might not feel that I can adequately be the therapist YOU need in the telehealth realm. The scariest part of therapy is taking that first leap- let me hold your hand so you can be the safest and healthiest possible!

Hello! It is my hope to support children and their families through my practice. Throughout my years of experience, I have found myself especially drawn to working with younger children. I enjoy using play to teach and build emotional literacy through books, games, art, and imaginative play. My ideal clients are children ages 3–12 and their families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, social, school-related, or developmental challenges. I offer in-person therapy for children ages 12 and under in Manchester, Connecticut. For adolescents and parents, I also offer virtual sessions to provide greater flexibility and accessibility. When working with young children, much of the progress happens through supporting and empowering parents. Families often seek support for concerns such as anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavioral challenges, family transitions, or difficulties at school. I strive to create opportunities during sessions for parents to observe and practice effective strategies for managing dysregulation, providing redirection, and strengthening connection with their child. My goal is to help families create meaningful and lasting change both in and outside of the therapy room. With over 15 years of experience supporting children and families in both school and clinical settings, I provide a strength-based, trauma-informed, and solution-focused approach that helps children build skills, increase confidence, and develop healthier ways to navigate life's challenges while coaching and supporting parents along the way.

I am a therapist with 25+ years of experience in diagnosis and assessment, as well as level of care placement and referrals. I practice DBT, CBT, and Animal Assisted Therapy to help adolescents and adults battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or eating disorders. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, as I believe clients are the ones in charge of their treatment, and my role is to empower them to achieve their goals. Due to my extensive experience in higher levels of care, I am accustomed to working with complex cases and do not shy away from high acuity. I believe that anyone who comes seeking help is motivated to change and that my role is to facilitate, not to impose. I speak fluently in Spanish and am comfortable conducting assessments and treating clients in this language if that is their preference.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Together, we’ll identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals that fit your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Seeking Safety, while tailoring treatment to what works best for you. Much of my career has been dedicated to supporting Veterans and others facing life’s most difficult challenges. Whether you’re working through the effects of trauma, grieving a loss, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, you don’t have to face it alone. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, resilience, and lasting positive change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in young adults, couples and individual counseling. I studied at Fairfield University where I received my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My primary therapy methods are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy where I work with clients to discuss presenting problems and issues and collaboratively determine what the ideal solution is by the use of questions and exploration. I believe in creating an environment for all clients that feels welcome, comfortable, and safe. By creating this kind of environment I hope to enhance the process of healing and change for the client. I also believe that the client is the expert in the story of their own lives and so it is important for me to take an active listening role and encourage the client to maximize the skills that already exist within them to minimize the problems that exist in their everyday lives.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.
