Therapists in Connecticut

Hi, I'm Shante'. I am passionate about working with ambitious women (16+) who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, career difficulties, academic pressure, or relationship struggles. So often, my client's are used to holding everything together for everyone else, and my goal is to give you a space where you can prioritize your well being. Together, we'll work on building more balance, confidence, and calm in your life, so you can reconnect with yourself and create a more fulfilling life.

I believe that every person has inherent worth and the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life challenges. For clients who desire it, I offer Christian counseling, thoughtfully integrated biblical principles, prayer, and faith into the counseling process. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills that lead to healthier emotions and behaviors. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients develop psychological flexibility, accept difficult emotions without being controlled by them, and move toward a life that aligns with their deepest values. I work collaboratively with clients to build resilience, strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective coping strategies. I work with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD and low self esteem.

I am a licensed clinical therapist for over 25 years with a focus on helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and problem-solving. My approach is grounded in creating a supportive and respectful space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I believe that meaningful change begins with being seen, not just for your struggles, but for your strengths. Using a combination of strength-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, I work collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, clarify goals, and develop effective strategies for growth and resilience. I aim to support you in moving forward with clarity and confidence.

I enjoy what I do as a therapist. But I should warn you: therapy isn't always easy. Meaningful change can challenge what we believe, how we respond, and the choices we make. Clients tell me that working with me is challenging. This makes me smile, because I want my clients to rise to those challenges. Rise. One of my favorite words. Some might call it “leveling up.” Are you working through a harsh setback? Sensing the need to make a brave choice? Seeking guidance while navigating a medical condition? Ready to confront a familiar pattern in your own behavior? I've faced serious setbacks myself, including severe asthma, cancer treatment, and the challenges of being neurodivergent. I've had to take responsibility for difficult choices, adapt to circumstances I couldn't control, and find ways forward, sometimes with limited support. Those experiences have deepened my respect for the different ways people meet adversity. I believe people can develop greater awareness, recognize unhealthy patterns, discover what matters to them, and practice different responses. That's the work I enjoy helping clients undertake. My clinical experience spans more than 15 years, including hospitals, universities, corrections, intensive outpatient programs, substance use treatment, and private practice. I've earned three master's degrees: Master in the Art of Teaching Master of Public Health in Health Policy & Management Master of Social Work My professional background also includes extensive work in cancer support and integrative medicine, teaching yoga and meditation. I've worked as a dance fitness professional, educator, and diagnostic ultrasound technologist. These experiences inform how I understand people—not only through their thoughts and emotions, but through their bodies, relationships, circumstances, and choices.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals become the best versions of themselves so they can live fulfilling and meaningful lives.

I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths and positive qualities, supporting the development of confidence and self-esteem. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical experience includes addressing behavioral challenges in children, substance and alcohol use among adolescents, family and relational struggles, couples counseling, and individual therapy. I recognize that no two individuals are alike; therefore, I take a flexible, client-centered, and adaptive approach to treatment, tailoring interventions to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

My therapy style is grounded in mindfulness and positive psychology, focusing on empowering clients to build a stronger sense of self. I help clients reframe negative thoughts, develop coping techniques, and use tailored homework assignments to foster growth and a healthier sense of identity. I often tell clients they’re like a puzzle with all the pieces they need—I’m simply here to help them put those pieces together. Through this process, I guide clients to recognize their strengths, stay present, and find value in themselves as they work toward personal growth and fulfillment.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you're not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you're experiencing into words. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are, without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you need to have everything figured out. With five years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward meaningful change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, and DBT, depending on your needs and goals. I particularly enjoy working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges Above all, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling understood.

She specializes in working with high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and first-generation individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out behind the scenes. Many of her clients are navigating high-pressure careers in tech, finance, healthcare, and law while silently dealing with anxiety, impostor syndrome, and the constant pressure to keep it all together. Victoria provides evidence-based, culturally responsive therapy combined with practical mindset and coping strategies. Her approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented, helping clients gain clarity, improve emotional regulation, and build sustainable success without sacrificing their well-being. As a first-generation American from a multicultural immigrant background, Victoria understands the unique pressures of identity, family expectations, and navigating spaces where you may feel like you have to work twice as hard to maintain your success. She supports clients in processing these experiences while building confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of self. Victoria has over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and community-based settings in New York City. She has extensive experience treating anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, and high-functioning stress. She offers virtual therapy across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. If you’re used to being “the strong one” but are ready to feel more supported, grounded, and in control, this may be a good fit.
