Therapists in Connecticut

I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and empowering. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to. I work with adults who want to better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships, and I focus on helping clients build skills they can actually use in daily life. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—just a willingness to show up.

Hi! My name is Mimi. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Art Therapist. I attended Albertus Magnus College and SCSU. I have been in practice for 12 years and more in the public sector. I like to help people who struggle with what may feel like great obstacles find positive changes and the best version of themselves. In a non-judgmental environment, we look at the issues and find individual goals, solutions that fit, and your personal change plan in collaboration to increase the quality of your life. Using supportive and motivational therapies to explore issues, I work with you to create positive changes, no matter what issues, short or long-term.

With over 12 years of experience as a licensed social worker, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges and build meaningful, healthy lives. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, relationships, behavioral issues and related concerns. My approach is client-centered and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychoanalytic techniques, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing, among other evidence-based methods tailored to each client’s needs. I believe deeply in the connection between mind and body as essential to overall wellness. I encourage healthy movement, balanced living, and self-compassion as part of the healing process. Above all, I hold that every person is capable of growth, resilience, and a fulfilling life—no matter the challenges they’ve faced.

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.

Hi, I'm Kara thanks for taking the time to check out my profile. As a therapist who has been in the field for almost a decade and a person who has also gone to therapy themselves, I know how scary it can be to take that first step. At the same time think of all you could gain better relationships, more life satisfaction, healthy boundaries, good communication skills, resiliency etc. In my 12 years of practice as a therapist, I've seen that many people struggle to be kind to themselves. A key part of my work is helping clients change their inner voice from critical and confusing to logical and empathetic. I currently work with all ages and am inclusive, trauma informed, and collaborative. I feel that as the client you are the expert of yourself and focus on teaching you to be your own therapist.

Hi, I’m Christina, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I know starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about what’s going on without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I work with individuals who may be dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed. In our sessions, we’ll take time to understand what’s contributing to how you’re feeling, identify patterns that may no longer be working for you, and find healthier ways to manage what life is bringing your way. I’m easygoing and supportive in my approach, but I’ll also challenge you when needed. Therapy with me isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about having a place to work through things, learn more about yourself, and figure out what works best for you.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you've tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, stuck, or unsure if it was helping. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. I'm Jenny, a neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and burnout. I have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, first responders, individuals facing fertility challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I understand firsthand that many people move through the world feeling different, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that weren't designed with them in mind. Whether you're navigating executive functioning challenges, sensory sensitivities, masking, burnout, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space where you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years putting others first, minimizing their own needs, or feeling like they should be able to manage everything on their own. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain insight into what's keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I work alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply feeling ready for change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I’m Jess, a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults through stress, transition, and emotional challenges. My style is curious, authentic, and grounded in meaningful connection, with some humor woven in when it helps. I specialize in trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety, identity development, relationship stress, and co‑occurring mental health and substance use concerns. I help the people I work with make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and build skills that strengthen how they move through the world. My approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from evidence‑based models like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma‑Focused CBT, and the Encompass model, adapted to each person’s needs and goals. I work to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and safe enough to explore what’s really going on. I ask thoughtful, direct questions with curiosity and care. Self‑work isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about becoming who you want to be in a way that feels steady, grounded, and true to you.
