My initial employment experiences included working for federal programs providing mental health services in homeless shelters and with pre, and post partum, women overcoming substance abuse and addiction to various substances.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. As a therapist over the last 13 years I have worked with a wide variety of people as an advocate and an ally in helping them heal and grow through the therapy process. Beginning to look for a therapist can bring on anxiety, but know that taking this step is already a major sign of growth. I help work through the chaos inside one's head to identify what are the actual causes of anxiety, stress, and depression. In sessions it can be a time to process emotions, but more importantly, to identify the cause of stressors and what is and is not in your control. I help people learn to set boundaries, work on self-care, and coping skills, and be true to their authentic selves. I have always been an advocate for those that don't feel that their voices are heard including: LGBTQIA+ individuals, TBI survivors, Neurodivergent individuals, parents, college students, healthcare workers, teachers and individuals looking to find their self-worth. My approach starts with a person-centered mindset and by working together we will decide which therapeutic techniques will work best for you as an individual.

I’m a warm, collaborative Marriage & Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families feel grounded, understood, and supported. Over the past nine years, I’ve worked across Connecticut’s community mental health system, including adult outpatient services, jail diversion programs, child and family services, extended day treatment, adolescent and adult substance use treatment, intensive in‑home family therapy, and extensive clinical work with service members, Veterans, and first responders. My therapeutic style is integrative and trauma‑informed, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment‑based models, and somatic awareness practices. I help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and build secure, meaningful relationships with themselves and others. I believe healing happens within compassionate, attuned relationships. Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in our work together. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I offer a safe, steady space for meaningful change.

I’m Chris Burgess, a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy for adults in Connecticut. I help people navigate addiction and substance use, anger, and concerns about sexual health and intimacy. If alcohol or other substances are becoming difficult to manage, we can explore their role in your life and work toward recovery. If anger is damaging your relationships, we’ll identify what drives it and build skills to respond differently. Questions about sex, intimacy, identity, and relationships are welcome here. I offer LGBTQIA+, kink, and consensual non-monogamy affirming care. My approach is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. Together, we’ll understand recurring patterns, clarify what matters to you, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. You can expect honest conversations, respect, and support as you build a life that reflects who you want to be. Simple. Not easy. You do not have to figure it out alone.

Welcome—I’m Tameko, and I’m genuinely glad you’re here. If you’re reading this, it likely means something in your life feels out of alignment or unfulfilled. Perhaps you're facing difficulty initiating or following through on goals, feeling trapped by limiting beliefs, managing persistent mental health challenges, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma or disconnection. Whatever brings you here, know that transformation is possible. My work is centered on helping individuals identify and dismantle the internal and external barriers that hinder growth, joy, and self-connection. Together, we’ll pave the way toward a more empowered, grounded, and satisfying life experience."

Hello, my name is Julie and I have been in practicing clinical social work for over 20 years. I am dedicated to supporting individuals navigate personal and professional challenges with compassion, clarity and offer practical tools for coping. I blend humor with evidence-based practices. I work with adults ages 18 to 90 plus and families facing concerns such as stress, anxiety, life transitions and relationship issues. I am down to earth and holistic in my approach. My main approach is client centered, collaborative and grounded in evidence- based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy( CBT), strength based therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients understand and recognize how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors impact the way they think, feel and act. We can use that knowledge to recognize patterns which will help to change your life in a positive way. When you are ready to leave your stress and discomfort behind, I am prepared to help you. Schedule the first session and begin the process. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking for deeper self awareness I am here to walk alongside of you in this process.

I specialize in working with high-achieving women who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly exhausted beneath the surface. Many of my clients are driven, thoughtful, and highly capable, yet find themselves struggling with anxiety, burnout, resentment, or significant life transitions. Therapy at Kaleidoscope Solutions is collaborative, active, and deeply insight-oriented. Our work focuses on understanding long-standing patterns, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating sustainable change—not just short-term symptom relief. My clients are motivated, reflective, and committed to meaningful personal growth. I accept Aetna and also offer private-pay therapy for clients seeking a more personalized therapeutic experience. Sessions are conducted virtually in a confidential and supportive environment. If you're ready for deeper insight and lasting change, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
