Therapists in Connecticut

Hello. I am Alissa Dillon. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire. I am licensed to treat patients in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine. I have over twenty years of experience as a therapist and enjoy working with patients who allow me to learn of their traumatic memories, and allow me to help reprocess them, to begin healing. I specialize in treating grief and trauma. Both of these experiences can leave lasting pain, but my treatment will help to alleviate that pain and remove the emotional responses out of your difficult memories.

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.

Hello, I’m Jennifer Hernandez, DSW Candidate, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker serving individuals, couples, families, and adolescents throughout New York and Connecticut. My passion is helping people heal from life’s most difficult experiences and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and complex emotional concerns. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health, crisis intervention, forensic settings, and private practice, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life.

I am Elsy a therapist with 12 years of experience. As counselor, I am committed to walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s most challenging seasons. Rooted in a patient‑centered approach, I believe every person’s story is unique and deserves to be heard with compassion, respect, and genuine care. My work integrates evidence‑based therapeutic practices with faith‑informed guidance, creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their struggles and discover renewed hope. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Whether someone is overwhelmed by worry, weighed down by sadness, or learning to cope with loss, my goal is to help them build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. I strive to empower clients to recognize their strengths, deepen their self‑awareness, and move toward emotional and spiritual healing at a pace that feels right for them. At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is a collaborative journey. I am honored to partner with clients as they seek clarity, restoration, and growth—trusting that with compassion, faith, and practical tools, meaningful change is possible.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for over 18 years. In my clinical opinion, all therapeutic approaches come from a place of strength, validation and compassion. In my work, I focus on the concerns you feel comfortable sharing while validating your experiences, creating a compassionate and safe space which allows you to effect change and move past pain, loss, trauma and regret. I aim to teach you that the present moment is truly the gift we have, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Our past is behind us, it can neither hurt us any longer nor be changed. We do not know the future, it is not yet visible. Attempting to prepare for what is to come or holding tight to what is no more, takes us away from the present, the moments we have right now, preventing us from embracing the life we dream of. Old messages, hurts and grief often keep us stuck, holding onto a past that will always be a part of who we are, but in no way defines us. We are not "what" we have endured, rather it is the "what" which forged our strengths, awareness and resilience. The story we create is not written by anyone other than ourselves. The truth in life is that we are all good as we are, right now, in this moment. And the beauty in life is that we can grow to be better, no matter what we may have been told, witnessed or lived. You matter, your journey matters, your recovery is what you decide, what you want and I am proud to be a partner to you in this. Even if you select another therapist, remember you are worth it, always.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded, conversational, and free of judgment. Clients often tell me it feels like talking to someone who “gets it,” while still being guided in a way that creates real change. You don’t have to have the perfect words, the perfect mood, or the perfect version of yourself when you show up. Simply come as you are.

I listen and try to understand your situation and learn what it's like to be you. I can offer suggestions but I won't tell you what to do. I believe that my clients know what they need to do to help them heal, it might not be clear right away but after I am able to understand your problems we can work together to find solutions. It's a big step to seek counseling and to go into therapy. I respect everyone who wants to improve their mental health and well being. It isn't easy to seek help and allow oneself to be vulnerable and share ones' experience. I have listened to thousands of people and I am delighted hear everyone's story to see how I can help.

Hi, I’m Laurie. Are you ready to explore your own inner healing and reconnect with a sense of peace and wholeness? I offer a holistic, mindful, and compassionate approach to therapy that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal and grow. In our sessions, we’ll bring gentle awareness to the parts of you that are asking for care and attention. You’ll learn strategies to regulate your emotions, nurture self-compassion, and respond to life’s challenges from a more grounded and centered place. If you experience feelings of overwhelm, stress, or emotional dysregulation, therapy can be a supportive environment to process and integrate these emotions without becoming consumed by them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a school social worker supporting children, adolescents, and families. I am also a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator through Copper Beech Institute and hold certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from The Embody Lab. My approach weaves together mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based practices to support healing on every level—mind, body, and heart. I believe that when we bring awareness to how our bodies hold emotion and experience, we begin to unravel old patterns and open to a deeper sense of freedom and peace. If you’re seeking a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward healing and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

By integrating mindfulness techniques, we will work on enhancing your self-awareness and fostering a deeper, more positive relationship with yourself. Together, we will explore the roots of feelings of overwhelm, unravel any relationship difficulties, and address persistent cycles of anxiety and depression that may be impacting your life. I understand that seeking therapy can evoke feelings of fear or uncertainty, but I want you to know that you are making a powerful choice for your well-being. In our therapeutic relationship, I will provide a safe, nurturing environment where you can heal and grow. With compassion and evidence-based techniques, I will support you in overcoming the obstacles and habits that have been holding you back.

“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!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who’s passionate about helping people create lives they actually love and enjoy. In therapy, I focus on helping you figure out what’s getting in the way and how we can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be in life. I've worked with children, teens, adults, and families, and have experience in outpatient therapy, middle and high school settings, and intensive outpatient programs. My experience with different populations and within different settings has shown me that challenges exist within every stage of life, and people can benefit from a steady, collaborative therapeutic space that helps them make sense of what they’re going through and move forward.

Karenna Lang further has expressed, whatever issues you may be facing, it is a courageous step to seek and obtain counseling services and I am happy to offer a friendly approach and a safe, confidential, respectful, and supportive environment.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of field experience. I specialize in clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues but have worked with clients with numerous mental health and life struggles including parenting issues, bipolar, self-harm, grief/loss, and much more. I know starting therapy can feel scary and overwhelming so I strive to provide a warm, welcoming therapeutic environment. A strong relationship is the most important thing to me during the therapeutic process. Once that is established then we can focus on the work that needs to be done.
