As both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Catholic priest with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Connecticut, I bring together evidence-based therapy with compassionate human and pastoral insight. For clients who desire it, spirituality and faith can thoughtfully become part of the healing process. For others, therapy may remain fully focused on emotional and psychological care. My approach is compassionate, reflective, practical, and deeply respectful of each client’s background, values, and lived experiences. Together, we work toward helping you: . process grief and emotional pain, . manage anxiety, depression, and stress, . heal from burnout and trauma, . strengthen emotional boundaries, . improve relationships and communication, . reconnect with your sense of identity and peace, . and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Hello and welcome! My name is Allisia Green, and I have been working in the mental health field for more than 13 years. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support individuals in a variety of settings including extended day treatment programs, residential programs, school-based services, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient therapy. These experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and better understand the many ways life challenges can impact emotional wellbeing. I also have specialized experience supporting individuals who have experienced difficult or overwhelming life experiences and understand the ways past experiences can continue to impact emotions, relationships, self-worth, and day-to-day functioning. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize safety, trust, emotional regulation, and moving at a pace that feels supportive and manageable for each individual. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, and person-centered. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing process. At times, therapy may involve gentle challenge not to be difficult, but to help uncover patterns, explore root causes, and identify meaningful ways to move forward. Life’s challenges can sometimes feel like dead ends, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next. I believe that with support, insight, and practical tools, difficult experiences can also become opportunities for healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

Hi, I’m Viviana. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, with a special focus on perinatal mental health — including pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility challenges. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, heal from past hurts, and feel more grounded and empowered in your life. Together, we’ll work toward understanding yourself more deeply, breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you, and building a future filled with hope and resilience.

Hello! My name is Rachael and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has several years of experience in the field of mental health working in agencies, schools, group homes and private practices. Empathy is my strength, and I utilize this, warmth, validation, and honesty in working with clients to help them create the change they've been longing to achieve but maybe thought wasn't possible. Whether you're seeking therapy to process and learn to cope with painful life experiences and past trauma, are working on healing from past DV/IPV relationships, depression, anxiety, body image and eating concerns, substance use, strained family relationships, a partnership where you both just can't seem to connect or see eye to eye like you used to - I'd love to help! My training has allowed me to view mental health concerns and life's struggles in a way that takes into consideration not only you as an individual, but the relationships within your life and how they both positively and negatively impact you. I'm here to provide support, strategies, a calming presence and an empathetic ear to help facilitate meaningful change in your life and show you that we're all doing the best that we can every day, and that we can learn lessons and find glimmers of hope in our everyday existence. I'm adept at helping my clients reframe difficult thoughts that can overtake the mind and impact your ability to have the happy, healthy life that you deserve. I can help clients recognize that our perceptions are our reality, but maybe at times we can benefit from shifting our perspectives to allow us to see beyond the confines that we, and others, have created for us.

I’m Osvaldo Santiago, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut, with over 10 years of experience supporting adults on their path toward greater clarity, healing, and self-acceptance. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and empowered, especially if you’ve felt overlooked, misunderstood, or disconnected in other parts of your life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to the therapy room, and I meet you where you are- whether you’re navigating anxiety, cultural identity stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or past trauma. In sessions, I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These approaches offer structure and flexibility, helping us identify what’s getting in the way and build tools to support your growth and well-being. That said, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, I stay adaptable and responsive to what you need most in the moment. Outside of therapy, I value the same things I support my clients in cultivating: meaningful relationships, mindfulness, resilience, and space to breathe. I believe in showing up fully, both as a clinician and as a human being, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever comes next.

I am a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) that believes therapy should be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Reaching out for help takes courage, and you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I support adults and older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, panic attacks, emotional burnout, chronic stress, grief, chronic pain, and difficult life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating divorce, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, women’s and men’s issues, caregiving responsibilities, retirement, and adjustments related to medical conditions or changes in health. Many clients seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. I provide support in exploring the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be impacting your relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and create practical solutions to help you regain balance and confidence. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to your unique needs and goals. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based counseling to help you better understand yourself, manage symptoms, and create meaningful change. Therapy is tailored to your individual experiences, values, and personal journey. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building resilience, improving relationships, and developing the skills needed to create a more fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, emotional burnout, relationship difficulties, chronic stress, chronic pain, or adjusting to a major life transition, I am here to support you in taking the next steps toward healing and growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater emotional wellness and a renewed sense of hope.

Hi, I'm Kelly McIntyre, LMHC, NCC, CCMHC, QS, founder of Sunlight Counseling and Assessments, LLC.I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. Clients often describe me as calming, honest, genuine, and approachable. While I provide empathy and validation, I also offer gentle accountability and encouragement when needed. I believe growth happens when we feel supported enough to step outside of our comfort zones, and I work alongside my clients to help them build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.
