IFS Therapy Therapists in Connecticut

I am a licensed psychologist with many years of experience helping individuals, families and couples navigate life’s challenges and discover their capacity for meaningful change. I believe that empathy, accessibility and a genuine connection are essential to a successful therapeutic relationship. My goal is always to provide a welcoming, supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My philosophy is that most people have a sense of what they would like to change in their lives, even when they are uncertain about how to accomplish it. I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps bridge the gap between knowing what you want and discovering how to achieve it.

I’m a therapist who supports adults who carry a lot—people who often feel like the steady one for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed or disconnected inside. I show up in therapy with warmth, grounding, and a calm presence, and I want this space to feel like somewhere you can finally slow down, breathe, and be fully yourself. As a queer therapist, a military spouse, and a former minister, I understand what it’s like to navigate identity, belonging, faith transitions, and the pressure to stay strong during major life changes. I provide culturally sensitive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and I’m experienced supporting military service members, veterans, and the loved ones who share the emotional load alongside them. I’m here to walk with you as you explore who you are, heal old patterns, build healthier boundaries, and create a life and relationships that feel more grounded, honest, and sustainable.

Hi, I am Tamar, LCSW, I specialize in children, families, and their contextual systems as well as with young adults and adults who present with depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, parenting, and relationship and family conflict. I offers a unique, comprehensive approach to chronic pain using mind-body healing. I invite you to connect further and discuss.

Hello! I have a particular passion for working with Christian-identifying clients who want their faith and values to be meaningfully incorporated into the counseling process. At the same time, I welcome clients of all backgrounds and beliefs and am committed to providing a respectful, compassionate space for anyone seeking therapy. As a trained marriage and family therapist, I take a systemic view of my clients' lives, assessing the many factors that influence their experience. These include family history, interpersonal relationships, and individual development. It is normal for us to have ups and downs in our lives. Emotions can become difficult to handle; we may feel overwhelmed. Sometimes we develop thought patterns that can make us feel as though there is a battle going on inside of us. We may engage in behaviors that work against us as we strive to meet our goals--goals like having the kinds of relationships we want for ourselves. A competent therapist is someone who can, with genuine curiosity and compassion, help you get yourself back on track. My goal is to help folks rediscover and apply the essential skills they need to stay on track after therapy is over.

I’m a warm, insight-oriented therapist who offers a steady, compassionate space for adults navigating grief, relational wounds, and the impact of growing up around emotional chaos or inconsistency. My approach is grounded in deep listening and curiosity—I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner experience, uncovering patterns that may have once been protective but now feel limiting. Together, we create room for new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your story. Healing, in my work, begins with being deeply seen and understood.

I’m a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who believes in creating a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, whether that’s anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or major transitions. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to you—I’m here to support you in making sense of your experiences and building a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.

I'm Chris Burgess, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The High Lonesome Psychotherapy. My approach is direct, practical, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change requires honest reflection, personal accountability, and action. I work with adults navigating substance use and recovery, anger, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and challenges involving identity, intimacy, and sexual health. I also work with individuals affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), including those seeking to understand and change patterns of controlling, harmful, or abusive behavior. My practice provides LGBTQIA+, kink, and consensual non-monogamy affirming care. I recognize that relationships, identities, and personal circumstances are complex. My role is not to impose conventional expectations but to help you navigate your circumstances with greater understanding, responsibility, and clarity. I believe effective therapy requires more than simply talking about problems. Sometimes meaningful progress involves difficult conversations, examining uncomfortable truths, challenging familiar patterns, and making deliberate changes. My clinical approach incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychodynamic therapy. Rather than forcing everyone into a predetermined treatment model, I adapt our work to your individual needs, circumstances, and goals. I offer a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment without abandoning the importance of honesty and accountability. Whether you're addressing longstanding difficulties or navigating a specific challenge, our work will focus on identifying what needs to change and developing practical ways to move forward. My goal isn't to keep you in therapy indefinitely. It's to help you make meaningful progress that extends beyond our sessions and into your everyday life. Simple. Not easy. You do not have to figure it out alone.
