Therapists in Connecticut

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a graduate of Fairfield University. I work with teens, young adults, and older adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and stress. I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring what they’re going through and building insight into their experiences. In my work, I use a collaborative approach and often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I focus on helping clients develop practical coping skills they can use in their daily lives and supporting them as they work through change and build more balance and confidence.

Hello. Welcome. My name is Jill Waite. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of CT and a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of NH. My training and education is as a clinical psychologist with advanced training and education in neuropsychology. I have 11-years of experience providing support and guidance to those struggling with a mental illness, relationship challenges, or emotional and mental unwellness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed care. I work in partnership with my clients to help them identify goals and values and work towards those goals and live a life in alignment with their values. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that all people who want to make a change in their lives and are willing to put in work have the capacity to do so. I always use an anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens in my practice. I received my bachelor's degree at Northwestern University, my master's degree at the University of Chicago, and have spent my career working at the Veterans Affairs and Yale New Haven Health.

Hello! It is my hope to support children and their families through my practice. Throughout my years of experience, I have found myself especially drawn to working with younger children. I enjoy using play to teach and build emotional literacy through books, games, art, and imaginative play. My ideal clients are children ages 3–12 and their families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, social, school-related, or developmental challenges. I offer in-person therapy for children ages 12 and under in Manchester, Connecticut. For adolescents and parents, I also offer virtual sessions to provide greater flexibility and accessibility. When working with young children, much of the progress happens through supporting and empowering parents. Families often seek support for concerns such as anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavioral challenges, family transitions, or difficulties at school. I strive to create opportunities during sessions for parents to observe and practice effective strategies for managing dysregulation, providing redirection, and strengthening connection with their child. My goal is to help families create meaningful and lasting change both in and outside of the therapy room. With over 15 years of experience supporting children and families in both school and clinical settings, I provide a strength-based, trauma-informed, and solution-focused approach that helps children build skills, increase confidence, and develop healthier ways to navigate life's challenges while coaching and supporting parents along the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. With experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and caregiver stress, I provide a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and achieve lasting emotional well-being.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Maybe lately you haven't felt like yourself. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, exhausted from trying to keep up with everything, or struggling with motivation. Perhaps anxiety is making everyday situations feel harder than they should, or you're dealing with depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or a major life transition and aren't sure how to move forward. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including crisis situations, suicidal thoughts, family conflict, and significant life changes. My experience has taught me that there isn't one approach that works for everyone. I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively to understand what they're experiencing and what they need. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based therapy, compassion-focused therapy, DBT-informed strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and family therapy to help clients better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical tools for navigating challenges. Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. If you've been thinking about reaching out, I'd be happy to meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward feeling more like yourself again.

Hello, my name is Tess. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut. I am employed at a facility that treats mental health and substance use. I have 6 years of experience as a therapist that could assist with issues such as anxiety, anger, and life transition concerns. Whether you are looking to regulate emotions, navigate a transition in your life, overcome substance use, or looking for spiritual/personal growth, I can walk with you through your journey. I have years of experience working with individuals, helping them find strategies and techniques that work best for them and their situation, at their current stage of life.

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.

I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals experiencing burnout, anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and major life transitions.

My personality as a therapist is warm, authentic, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, while also feeling supported, challenged, and empowered to grow. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I aim to bring compassion, curiosity, and a touch of humor into our work together when appropriate.

I am licensed in Connecticut with 5 years of professional work experience.

I absolutely love what I do and my life has meaning because I see people I council get in with their life and living in healthy and meaningful ways. I am truly here for you.

Hi, I’m Viviana.

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.

If you’re seeking a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward healing and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I'm Melissa Mitchell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and practical support. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a significant life transition, I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want to build.

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.

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been in the field for six years. I believe that therapy should be accessible and available to everyone.

As a woman of color myself, my work centers on empowering people of color and women to feel comfortable in their own skin and to take up space unapologetically.

“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 have over 23 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families.

I am trained in a variety of different models including CBT//DBT /CPT Person Centered Approaches, Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Tf-CBT. I work with clients of all ages, as well as professional adults and military service members. I enjoy thinking "outside of the box", and implement that in my sessions. I enjoy thinking of creative approaches and utilizing a variety of different skills to help my clients. My goal is to assist the client, you, in developing healthy coping skills, while building a strong therapeutic relationship. I have worked with people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, male, female, non-binary, various sexual orientations, young and old, and I have always taken the approach that each person is unique; their issues are real, and I want to not only help them, but truly hear them and their stories.

Welcome! I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut and LICSW in Massachusetts.

Whether the client wants to explore past traumas or just vent about day to day stressors I am here to create a safe space.

Have you ever felt misunderstood by family and friends? Find it difficult to trust others including professionals? Have difficulty being seen as a person and not your condition? Do you feel alone? Do you struggle with adapting and accepting your chronic illness or chronic pain? Let's talk! I can help you build tools to gain strength and confidence in managing your personal challenges. I empower adults with chronic illness/ pain or a history of abuse to take back their control and create healthy supports in order to stay on a path towards healing. Our experiences with our body or from how others treat us create unhealthy pathways for self regulation often exhibited as anger or anxiety. The compassion and guidance I provide will rewire those pathways allowing you to be the best version of yourself. In our sessions together, we will work on making small manageable changes through mindfulness, changing behaviors and embracing a positive healthy mindset. It’s often scary to start therapy for the first time or even to go back to therapy but it is the best self care gift you can give to yourself.

~A Place to Pause, Reflect, and Heal Hello, I'm Dr. Ebonee. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, struggling to keep up with relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage anxiety, avoid burnout, and break free from cycles of trauma, stress, and self-doubt. Together, we can identify what’s not working and get you back to balance. My interest in spirituality and utilization of spiritually integrated psychotherapy (SIP), which is not tied to any specific religion, allows me to offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I emphasize trauma’s role in shaping core beliefs, psychosocial stressors, and generational patterns, recognizing its imprint on the central nervous system. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), coaching, and positive psychology to reframe trauma narratives, foster self-discovery, and disrupt patterns of depression, anxiety, and re-traumatization. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or cycles of stress and overwhelm, I provide a safe space where healing begins. I know it may seem impossible, but what if I told you that you have the power to change your life? Now is the perfect time to start your healing journey. In our sessions, I’ll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let’s work together to build communication strategies, set boundaries, break cyclical trauma patterns, and foster self-worth for long-term stability. I’m excited to be on this journey with you! Here's a helpful video that explains the therapeutic process and what you can expect during your healing journey. https://youtu.be/R4B9BPBiIHo?si=HGNawKl7l1gVUv-z FYI: I recognize that my schedule sometimes books 3–4 weeks in advance, so please feel free to reach out if you need a sooner appointment.

You have amazing potential- you just need to unleash it and realize the strength that you have within! I look forward to being a guest on your journey to inner peace and strength and look forward to empowering you to take back control in your life to be the best YOU possible!

The scariest part of therapy is taking that first leap- let me hold your hand so you can be the safest and healthiest possible!

Many of us experience issues with anxiety, confidence, and self-esteem. Emotions, thoughts and behaviors can be very challenging. It is my goal to assist clients with understanding how these three components are interrelated and to assist clients with empowering themselves to achieve increased awareness, introspection and insight and gain a happier life. Are you faced with worry? Do you find yourself overthinking and experiencing racing thoughts? Perhaps you experience social anxiety. Are you facing a history of family trauma? Or perhaps, issues with communication and conflict in a relationship? Perhaps you are dealing with a stressful matter related to your career, or educational endeavors. Or, you may be dealing with identity issues and/or gender changes. These are just some of the examples of the topics that we can address during sessions. Karenna Lang's primary areas of interest include persons suffering from anxiety, persons with a history of family trauma, and individuals and couples experiencing problems with communication and conflicts. Experiences, focus and satisfaction also includes working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. 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.

Hello, my name is Kelley Machado, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut. You may wonder what does Licensed Clinical Social Worker mean, what does that allow me to do? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have the unique opportunity to help people work through various points in their lives. In the years I have been a social worker I have worked with various populations of people from many socioeconomic, cultural, and racial backgrounds as well as people with various presenting concerns. I began my career working in the mental health system, then the criminal justice system, then onto medical social work including various medical issues as well as aging and end of life concerns. I believe people can experience difficulties with coping whenever faced with a transition in life. These changes can include monumental transitions that are both good or bad, like a new job, new family members, loss, separations, disappointments, traumatic events, etc. These types of experiences can cause psychosocial distress which can have far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our lives. I work with my clients who include children, adults, couples, and families to find healthy coping methods in order to gain a healthier perception of themselves which can help to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others so they can find themselves as comfortable, secure, and whole. I take time to get to know each of my clients on an individual basis so that I can tailor approaches to care because I have learned that not one approach impacts and helps all clients. I have been trained and adopted many approaches to provide therapeutic support including cognitive-behavioral, attachment theory, developmental theory, trauma theory, and dialectical behavioral theory. Change is not easy and embarking on change takes a tremendous amount of courage and actions. I congratulate you on your wish, strength, and wisdom for seeking help and taking this first step towards making a change in your life. If you are prepared to move beyond wishes and intentions to action and fulfillment- I am here to empower and support you to achieve your goals. I would love to help you reach your goals, whatever that may be in life so you can move forward
