Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from Springfield College and have been practicing for 14 years. I practice a integrative, multicultural, practice of compassionate healing and growth. You are not just lectured at or listened to, we come together to help spark that part of you that was always there. We create more of a learning and practicing environment until it feels natural. Everyone starts out in life learning from their experiences and those who raise us. Later we can add more effective communication approaches, gain a deeper understanding, and efficient, empathetic problem solving. We've led people to a better understanding of themselves and accomplishment of their goals.

Hi there! My name is Alexandra, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed in the state of CT, with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University. I have over 7 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings. Including specialized experience focused on working with survivors of domestic violence as well as Veteran and military populations.
I currently offer individual therapy, focused on helping clients navigate feelings of anxiety, depression or overwhelm, challenging relationships, life transitions or other ongoing stressors, as well as working through traumatic experiences. I have a particular focus on helping people cope with the emotional and psychological effects of difficult or traumatic events. I am committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy, in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgemental space. My goal is to support my clients in developing greater self-understanding and growth, supporting change, and fostering healing.
My approach to therapy is holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed; providing supportive talk therapy while drawing on various therapeutic modalities as appropriate. My approach centers around meeting clients where they are, utilizing a collaborative approach to identify areas of need and developing insight. We will take time to develop achievable goals for therapy and the future; together we will work toward building the skills and strategies to realize those goals. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and further develop their strengths and resources; developing coping and problem-solving skills that will enable them to successfully navigate and manage their symptoms and live a full and meaningful life.
If you are struggling with the effects of stress, depressed mood, anxiety, or trauma, or just want to be able to talk to someone in a supportive and nonjudgmental space - I encourage you to reach out for help, you do not have to face these challenges alone. Life is often full of an incredible mix of significant positives and profound challenges, often these challenges are filled with anxiety, overwhelm, or distress, that can at times, feel impossible to navigate. My goal is to help and support you while you learn to navigate these challenges and work toward healing, happiness, and growth. Please remember, as you are taking this step to connect with a therapist, while it may not have been the easiest of decisions to come to, the decision to seek help is a sign of profound strength, never one of weakness. You deserve to feel happy and well.

Are you experiencing a time of transition? Are you facing difficulty with a particular challenge that is impacting your mental health? Are you a person of faith seeking to incorporate your beliefs/spiritual practices in your mental health care plan?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want you to know that you do not have to manage your problems alone.
As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in faith-based ministries and a Master of Divinity (MDiv), I look forward to creating a welcoming virtual space where you can address barriers and create paths for your mental health and overall wellness.
I am passionate about providing therapy to:
1. First and second-generation people impacted by im/migration, xenophobia, and racism.
2. Adults who struggle with self-worth, anxiety, and a sense of self due to conflict with family of origin or adverse childhood experiences.
3. Millenials and GenZers coping with crises related to employment, career, finances, relationships, boundaries, self-care, transitions and the daily demands of “adulting”.
4. Persons whose faith tradition and background have an impact on their wellbeing, decision-making, lifestyle, and mental health.
Together, we will assess and prioritize needs, identify goals, create a treatment plan, evaluate progress, celebrate success, and make changes as necessary.
I encourage you to reach out for support today. Your mental health matters!

I believe that one’s healing and growth begins with focusing on the self as priority in order to live mindfully and with intention. When one begins to heal themselves and live intentionally, he or she begins to function better in all areas of his or her life.
I use various clinical modalities such as: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help individuals build a toolbox and begin to feel more confident in balancing life’s obstacles. I focus on helping individuals become aware of, and recognize negative thinking patterns in order to reframe them.

Hello!
I'm Jim, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Florida and Connecticut. I'd like to support you in building the life you imagine!
Life can be happy, joyous, and fulfilling. However, life can also be challenging at times. Challenges may involve external situations which we're currently facing, they may be internal struggles involving our feelings and thoughts, or both. During these challenging times, it is often beneficial to work with an empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist who will assist you in taking the steps necessary to deal with such challenges effectively and move forward with your life.
I have 14 years of experience as a therapist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with a variety of issues. I have worked as a therapist in a nonprofit outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment agency, treating clients with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. As a primary therapist in an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility, I have supported clients as they begin their journeys of sobriety and recovery. I have also assisted patients and family members facing end-of-life issues as a home hospice social worker.

This way we can be more open and honest with each other.

Hello and welcome to my Grow Therapy Profile. I’m Leann and I look forward to meeting you.
Are you struggling just to make it through the day? Do you feel like life has taken its toll on you and each day just takes much more strength and motivation than you have to give?
I am passionate about working with adult clients who are coping with depression and anxiety. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with active licenses in Connecticut, California, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. I have experience with teenagers coping with social problems, depression, bipolar, and the struggles of living through that life stage. I have been trained in a few different trauma treatments including trauma-focused CBT, and I am experienced at working with individuals with high-functioning autism. I have been working in the field for the last 10 years and am eager to be your anchor and offer you a new sense of hope.

Hi there, I'm Annika
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, journaling to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
