Therapists in Connecticut

"I help people become their best selves, feel empowered in their lives, and heal. After more than 30 years as a therapist, I still find this work deeply meaningful." "I came to this work through theatre, where I loved understanding what makes people tick, and through nursing, where I helped hospital patients manage their fears and concerns about their health. Those paths led me to social work, and I've been helping people ever since." "I work with adults of all ages, including older adults. I especially enjoy supporting people who are coping with life changes, grief, building self-esteem, managing home life with children and aging parents, or navigating prenatal and postpartum stressors. If you're feeling stuck, worn down, or ready for support, I'd be glad to talk."

For more than 25 years as a social worker, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build the skills needed to create meaningful change. Over the years, I have learned that growth rarely happens in a straight line. It often begins with small steps, honest conversations, and the willingness to try something new. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, even during life’s most difficult seasons, and that healing is possible when people feel supported, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I blend evidence-based practices with humor, grace, and gentle persistence to help clients move toward the life they want. In our work together, we will focus on what is already working, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical coping skills that fit your unique needs and values. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can speak openly, explore challenges without judgment, and feel encouraged to keep moving forward, even when progress feels slow. I also believe therapy should be both practical and empowering. Together, we will look for creative solutions, build resilience, and strengthen your confidence in handling whatever comes your way. Change is not always easy, but you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you reduce your struggles, reconnect with your strengths, and discover the tools you need not just to cope, but to thrive in your daily life and relationships. Whether you are facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I will meet you where you are and work with you at a pace that feels manageable, hopeful, and grounded in your strengths so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

So many of us feel like we struggle every day to survive through life. We might feel lost, unhappy, stressed or exhausted from constant overthinking or self-doubts. We go through the motions and cant seem to find as many enjoyable moments as we'd like or we cant figure out our purpose. Finding and accepting yourself is not always an easy task and sometimes we all need a little help or guidance. That's where I come in. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience in the mental health and social work field. I have worked in many different settings helping people in all different walks of life. I've provided services over the years to ensure my clients basic needs are met, to feel better about themselves, and to manage their symptoms and emotions. Through personalized counseling services that are built on a foundation of empathy, strength and acceptance, we will walk this path together to embrace your true self and the life you want to live.

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 believe an essential component of therapy is providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where healing and personal growth can occur. 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.

I’m glad you’re here. Looking for support is a big first step. Therapy can be a place to slow down, to make sense of what you’re dealing with, and find new ways forward that feel more manageable. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and New York. I received my Masters from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and have been in the field for 12 years. I have extensive experience working with college-aged and emerging adults navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Additionally, I've worked with adults on the autism spectrum, family members and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities, and others in helping roles. More importantly, I’m interested in getting to know you as an individual and working together in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with who you are.

Hi, I’m a licensed social worker who specializes in supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, and empowerment. Whether you’re navigating a specific concern or going through a major life transition, I’m here to help you build on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore difficult emotions, identify patterns, and develop practical tools for growth. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you gain clarity, confidence, and resilience in moving forward.

I am a licensed social worker in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. I have over 15 years of experience working as a clinician. I work well with Individuals who are experiencing distress that is getting in the way of their daily life, as well as those who are struggling with serious mental health concerns. One specialization of my practice is working with First Responders who are struggling with stress or trauma related to work and their loved ones. I know it can be hard to take the step to start therapy when things start to feel overwhelming. I am looking forward to talking with you more about how I can provide you with help and support.

I’m a therapist who believes meaningful change comes from a combination of insight, accountability, and consistent action. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by a grounded understanding of adversity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild and move forward. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns—whether related to trauma, stress, relationships, or major life transitions—and are ready to create something more stable and intentional. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as emotional reactivity, impulsive behaviors, or difficulty maintaining consistency in their lives. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on helping you develop the tools needed for real, lasting change. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to support emotional regulation, stronger decision-making, and long-term growth. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating recovery, reentry, and significant life rebuilding, while remaining open to anyone seeking clarity, stability, and a more grounded way of living.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…” Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances! A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks. Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

Are you tired of feeling trapped in the same endless cycle? Does the weight of your thoughts feel heavier with each passing day? Enough is enough. It’s time to reclaim your reality, your joy, and your sense of self. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and I have a deep passion for helping people move through anxiety, depression, emotional stuck points, and the challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. I create a space where you can be real, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you are experiencing without judgment. My approach is warm, genuine, collaborative, and highly solution-focused. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about the same problems week after week. Together, we work to understand what is happening, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, develop practical tools, and begin making meaningful changes that you can actually feel in your everyday life. I am naturally someone who wants to understand the “why,” but I am equally interested in the “what now?” What can we do differently? What can we change? What can help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life? My work is rooted in empathy, curiosity, honesty, and collaboration. You do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We start exactly where you are, take things one step at a time, and work together toward creating a life that feels healthier, more fulfilling, and more like your own.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families foster healthier relationships with themselves and one another. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on real-life growth. I utilize techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and narrative therapy, all through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens. Clients describe my sessions as a safe space where they can fully engage, feel understood, and initiate meaningful change that resonates with their true selves.

Hi, I’m Shay Mitchell, LCSW. As your therapist, my goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. My role is to walk alongside you as we make sense of your experiences, uncover the patterns that are holding you back, and build the emotional tools you need to move forward with clarity and confidence. In our work together, I combine evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and person-centered techniques with a warm, collaborative style. I believe that healing grows from a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions and empowered enough to imagine something different for your future. You are the expert in your own life; my job is to guide, support, and help you develop new ways of understanding yourself and the world around you. Clients often come to me during seasons of transition, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, relationship stress, or when old wounds begin to resurface. Together, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you and create a plan that feels manageable and aligned with your values. Whether we’re working to reduce anxiety, strengthen boundaries, improve emotional regulation, or heal from past experiences, I approach your growth with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical. You’ll gain insight into your patterns, but you’ll also learn real skills—tools you can use in your everyday life to feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself. My hope is that through our work, you discover your own resilience, rebuild trust in yourself, and feel empowered to create the life you truly want. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Hey! I’m Jodeci, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Connecticut. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph in Connecticut and have spent the past 8 years working with children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of clinical settings. My experience in outpatient, intensive in-home, and telehealth services has allowed me to meet clients from many different walks of life and support them through both everyday stressors and more complex challenges.

I am Dr. Justin Scott, LMFT, and I provide highly qualified psychotherapy services grounded in compassion, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to helping my clients create meaningful and lasting change. I strive to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals and couples feel comfortable openly exploring their challenges, strengthening their relationships, and developing practical strategies for personal growth. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and centered on recognizing each client's unique strengths, experiences, and goals. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves, identifying patterns that may no longer serve us, and developing the confidence and skills necessary to move forward. In my clinical work, I emphasize building resilience, improving communication, managing emotional challenges, and fostering healthier patterns in relationships and everyday life. Through evidence-informed interventions and individualized treatment, I work alongside my clients to establish achievable goals and develop lasting skills that support emotional well-being. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy should be more than just a place to discuss challenges—it should be a collaborative experience that promotes self-discovery, meaningful progress, and lasting positive change. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater emotional wellness and a more fulfilling life.

With over 15 years of experience, I work with children, families, and adults navigating emotional challenges, difficult relationships, and life transitions. I offer virtual therapy for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or struggling with difficult family dynamics. Many of my adult clients are working through relationships with emotionally immature or controlling family members, healing from narcissistic abuse, and learning to establish boundaries and trust themselves again. I also specialize in in person, play based therapy for children ages 4–8 in Branford, CT. With an extensive background in early childhood development, I use play to help children express emotions, build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and navigate developmental and behavioral challenges. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Whether working with a child or an adult, I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and comfortable exploring meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Demetria Agharese, and I help adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside find relief, confidence, and a way forward. My ideal clients are adults who are used to being strong, dependable, and capable—but privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or the pressure to constantly “hold it all together.” Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You overthink decisions, question your feelings, replay conversations, worry about what might happen, or feel trapped in cycles of rumination, avoidance, checking, or reassurance-seeking. Perhaps you’re navigating a breakup, divorce, major life transition, low self-esteem, or simply wondering, “How did I lose myself?” You don’t have to continue living that way. I offer a warm, genuine, and judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and talk openly about what’s really happening. I believe therapy should be more than checking boxes on a diagnosis list. You deserve to feel heard, understood, supported, and gently challenged when needed. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, I help clients break unhelpful cycles, face fears, manage difficult emotions, strengthen self-worth, establish healthier boundaries, and become less controlled by anxiety and uncertainty. My approach is collaborative and personalized. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. I’m here to help you understand yourself, identify what matters most to you, and develop the confidence and skills to live accordingly. If you’re ready to stop simply surviving and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, confident, and meaningful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Gwen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is honest, compassionate, and grounded in real life. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale, show up as yourself, and speak openly about what you’re carrying without feeling judged, rushed, or misunderstood. I work with individuals navigating chronic health conditions, substance use, stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, and the emotional weight that comes with always having to “hold it together.” I also support caregivers and family members managing the emotional strain that can come with loving someone through illness, addiction, mental health challenges, or resistance to care. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you’re constantly trying to support others while also trying not to lose yourself in the process. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with individuals and families impacted by homelessness, addiction, unstable support systems, medical challenges, and survival mode living. My style is warm, direct, interactive, and down to earth. I’m not the type of therapist who just sits quietly and nods through the session. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in your growth. In our work together, we’ll focus on understanding patterns, building healthier coping strategies, improving emotional awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating meaningful change that fits your real life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, supported, empowered, and better equipped to navigate whatever season of life you’re in.

I help clients explore patterns from the past and understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors may impact their daily lives and relationships.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) with more than 22 years of experience in behavioral health, addiction treatment, trauma-informed care, and mental health services. My clinical work focuses on helping adults navigate trauma, substance use and recovery, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, grief, life transitions, and challenges related to emotional regulation and overall well-being. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches. I'm particularly interested in the connection between mental and physical health, including stress physiology, lifestyle factors, nervous system regulation, metabolic health, and resilience. In my practice through Grow Therapy, I strive to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with each client to understand the experiences, patterns, strengths, and goals that are unique to them. Together, we develop practical strategies to promote meaningful change, greater self-awareness, improved coping, and sustainable emotional well-being.
