Aetna - Medicare Therapists in Connecticut

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who, for twenty years, has been helping others to live and lead their best lives. While my more recent work has been with Active-Duty service members and veterans, I have also worked extensively with adults of all ages in a variety of settings, such as inpatient and outpatient. I have far-reaching experience with helping people to manage addiction, process trauma and loss, cope with mental illness, and take on the challenges of everyday life. I earned my MSW and BS from the University of Utah, but I grew up in, and currently reside in, Connecticut. I hold the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship seriously and, as such, your comfort and privacy are exceptionally important to me.

Welcome! My name is Karen Fahey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. I work with individuals and couples ages 18 and up. In a safe and supportive environment, my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental and collaborative. I use a holistic approach with a goal of healing, change and integration. I strive to help individuals live through their pain and get to a place where they love themselves and where they can be freer to absorb love from others. I will help you to understand patterns of thinking and behavior by cultivating self awareness and self acceptance. I also utilize body centered psychotherapy to go deeper into the healing process that may bring about lasting change. By seeking help you are demonstrating that you have courage, strength and hope. You are not alone. During my 25 plus years as a therapist I have worked with a diverse population ages 5 throught the life span. I worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including private practice, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, community mental health centers and a cancer center.

Hello! My name is Samantha Vamosy and I am so happy you are interested in working together. I know starting a therapy process whether you have before or this is your first time can be scary and uncomfortable. I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible. My passions have always aligned with helping others and listening in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious way. I find real change occurs when a person can fully explore their life in a holistic way. Whether it is current mental health symptoms or past traumas holistic healing is possible for everyone. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Fairfield University and achieved my LPC after completing 3000 hours in an outpatient clinic for substance abuse. I value a person-centered approach that focuses on strength-based and solution-focused techniques. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy to be able to challenge unhealthy patterns that no longer serve you. Together we will identify goals, by exploring what is and is not working and be able to collaboratively come up with solutions and learning tools to better overcome barriers to success. We will work at your pace and readjust goals and steps as we go along. Through these techniques we will work together to identify maladaptive thoughts that contribute to avoidance behaviors and fears that keep us stuck, feeling even more anxious and often depressed. Overcoming life transitions, challenges, and uncertainty can be difficult and no one should have to face these decisions on their own!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Texas and Connecticut, as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, I have more than ten years' experience in helping clients with effective, fairly rapid relief from the symptoms they have been experiencing--with many telling me that they feel significantly better after only a few sessions. Before going into private practice, I worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community/public mental health, managed care, and a psychiatric hospital. Although I work with a wide range of client concerns, I work especially often with clients identifying as LGBTQ and with couples. I have over ten years' experience in treating depression, anxiety, panic attacks, substance use and addiction, and in helping clients to improve their coping skills to better manage stress when it occurs in their lives. Past clients have often described me as compassionate but also as "blunt" and "no bullsh*t" (their words--not mine), helping them to achieve results often much more quickly than other therapists they have previously had.

HI! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of psychotherapy experience working with teens and adults. I offer a collaborative, compassionate approach where you feel safe to bring curiosity to issues interfering in your life. I am ready to partner with and support you while while we explore life changes that work for you. While I use a variety of tools and skills in our work together, mindful awareness of the body also informs my approach as a therapist. Through gentle awareness of any physical changes that are happening during our session, you and I can better understand thoughts and feelings as they arise.

Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Stamford, CT. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Connecticut and have been in the field of social work for over 30 years. I help adults navigate their dally lives and assist them to live a healthy and happy life. I look forward to working with you.

Hello and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. Reaching out to a “stranger” to enter your life is the hard part, my goal is to provide a safe environment where you can explore and enhance your strengths that will empower you to find strategies that support you through life’s challenges. Focus on allowing you to become the “captain” of your voyage in life and joining you in various parts of this journey. There are many times in our lives that for brief periods we just need some support and guidance around the challenges we face whether it is intrapersonal (within our own self) or interpersonal (with others), or just coping with changes that occur during our lifespan. Our goal is to empower your inner resources to live your authentic self in this journey of life. I encourage open communication and connection with those I work with. I utilize various modalities and fit the experience to each unique individual, couple or family. It is important that we utilize all aspects of our “selves”, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

There are lots of ups and downs in life… twists… and turns. Some people choose to navigate difficulties alone. However, you are likely reading this because you are tired of doing it all by yourself. You’re thinking about a little help and support. Reaching for help is a wise thing. It is a sign of health that I value deeply. I am Jim Hughes. I have over 30 years of experience as a Specialty Clinician. I'm a former faculty member of the UMASS STRESS REDUCTION CLINIC that was featured on Bill Moyers' Healing and the Mind. I got my start working with Children at a crisis shelter, Casa De los Ninos, and in the trenches at The Arizona Children’s Home in Tucson Arizona. Moved by the profound transformations I witnessed, I moved east and attended graduate school as I worked at Wellspring, a long-term therapeutic community in Bethlehem Connecticut with mentor Richard Beauvais. Upon graduation, I worked for the renowned UMASS STRESS REDUCTION CLINIC with Jon Kabat-Zinn teaching meditation and stress reduction in the hospital. In all my endeavors, mindfulness-based stress reduction is the key ingredient to help heal through difficult emotional and medical issues, challenging adult relationships, intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, and internet and pornography addiction. In addition, I am particularly interested in helping people with chronic stress and anxiety and medical problems such as panic attacks, stress, anxiety, heart disease, hypertension, A1C issues, diabetes, chronic pain, cancer and other medical issues.

My goal as a therapist is to help guide you toward authenticity while re-establishing interpersonal connections with those around you. Whether you’re looking to gain skills, problem-solving for everyday stress, or are experiencing major life events, we can explore and work toward your personal goals collaboratively. I have worked within multiple levels of care to address disorder eating patterns and ways to navigate toward a more intuitive relationship with food and body image. I have a long standing history of work with the military population and addressing Post Traumatic Stress and Suicidality and work to address barriers that persist to impact the course of your daily life.

Hi! I'm Laurie. Congratulations on taking the first step in your healing journey! I understand that sometimes we just need to reboot, start over and try again. I bring a lifetime worth of experience as well as formal education, graduating from Alliance Graduate School of counseling and being a Licensed Professional Counselor. You are important! Together we will create a caring and safe healing experience. We will focus on helping you find your voice, understand your strengths and build on your goals and vision. We will focus on overcoming obstacles, challenge unhealthy narratives and empower you to create a healthy realistic narrative of yourself.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from Southern Connecticut State University and have been in the helping field for over 10 years. My passion is helping adults reach their full potential and live a more fulfilling life. I have worked with people from all walks of life. I currently work in the substance abuse field helping adults work toward recovery goals at an outpatient unit after many years of home-based human service work. I have learned that over the years in the helping field, this work gets more fulfilling as you allow yourself to experience other areas in this field. I take pride in the work I do everyday as i'm able to help people reach their goals and I hope to continue doing this using this online platform.
