My name is Christine Tirado. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in CT. I started out my career working with children and their parents for about 8 years and then moved into working with adults with co-occuring disorders. I have been in private practice now for the past year in the evenings while working during the day as a Clinical Supervisor for an addiction clinic. I love the ability private practice gives me to maintain connection with clients face to face.

Hi there! I'm Gily and I am glad you found me.
Are you a mama feeling the invisible load of motherhood? Are you finding it hard to connect with your family and children because of burnout? Are you losing your cool too easily these days? Or are you a new mama feeling overwhelmed with life with a new baby?
As a mother myself, I can say I’ve been on the other side of the motherhood trenches (and still am from time to time) and there’s nothing more isolating than navigating parenthood with limited support. I help mothers in all stages of their motherhood helping to regain joy and control back into their lives. Parenting is not easy, and together we can identify ways to overcome specific challenges and stressors.
With my client-centered and nurturing approach, I'll provide you with a safe place, free from shame and judgment, for you to share your feelings.
Whether you have a strong-willed child, suffer from depression or anxiety, carry most of the child-rearing tasks, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
Together we can get you to be the mother you want to be.

Welcome! I am Robyn. These days many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes they feel as if no matter what they do, it isn't enough and either they or those around them are never happy with themselves. How about you? Are you trying to manage to be the best parent, spouse, and employee that you can be? Are you struggling with a recent life transition or the loss of a loved one or relationship? Are you lying awake at night reviewing the list of things you think you should have accomplished? Or are you ruminating on what you said to someone, how you said it, and what you should have done differently? You are not alone! Many people experience these feelings and you do not have to continue to feel like this! You CAN FEEL BETTER!
I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with these things by providing a safe space to talk about and work through these issues. I strive to empower them to discern their strengths, their priorities, and the barriers to feeling better. Once we’ve done that, I help them find ways to address those barriers and build new coping skills they can use to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, managing change, and people-pleasing.
Change is not easy! I am impressed by your courage in taking the first step of asking for help to start your journey toward feeling better! You deserve to have someone skilled and trustworthy to guide you to grow and heal. I will compassionately work with you using evidence-based techniques to get beyond the challenges you are experiencing and on the road to feeling better! I’d love to have the privilege of working with you!

Hi, I'm Trish
Do you ever feel like you are your own worst enemy? Or perhaps that you will never have the life you want and have dreamed of living? Reaching out for therapy takes both courage and humility, and I am honored to join you on your journey. We all have blind spots and often fail to give ourselves credit for the strengths and qualities that our uniquely ours. As a therapist, I will promise to help bring out your best, so that you can make the changes needed to welcome joy into your life.
I bring a ton of life experience to my practice, having faced the challenges of establishing careers- yes, more than one- raising a family of four children and maintaining a very, very, very long marriage. I have lived in eight states and six countries, and count several different nationalities among my family members. My early career was in the business world, including a Fortune 10 company as a human resources manager and recruiter. I transitioned into non-profit leadership and have sat on several boards of directors. I gain a sense of meaning by accompanying you on your life journey, especially during challenging times. My greatest satisfaction is to help you to remove the obstacles that are keeping you from the joy of living and loving.

I studied at Fairfield University where I received my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My primary therapy methods are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy where I work with clients to discuss presenting problems and issues and collaboratively determine what the ideal solution is by the use of questions and exploration.
I believe in creating an environment for all clients that feels welcome, comfortable, and safe. By creating this kind of environment I hope to enhance the process of healing and change for the client. I also believe that the client is the expert in the story of their own lives and so it is important for me to take an active listening role and encourage the client to maximize the skills that already exist within them to minimize the problems that exist in their everyday lives.

Take a breath in. Exhale slowly and feel your feet supported by the Earth beneath them. Notice the impact of this one breath in your body- celebrate this moment of peace. Riding the waves of this human experience can at times be challenging, and call for support from an external resource. It is in this calling, i welcome you to delve into therapy. Stepping into an unknown therapeutic relationship can evoke many feelings, and as I invite you into this space, your feet are on the ground and your breaths pace our work. In our time together, my intention is to guide us in a mind-body-soul approach to the therapeutic process.
I embody compassion, genuineness, authenticity and vibrant energy that will allow our relationship to grow. In my clinical work, I use a narrative therapy framework in session to engage clients in the telling and re-writing of their stories. This may be to work on a specific challenge, identify life themes, or understand a life’s journey.
I will also utilize yoga, meditation and breathwork in session to support the regulation of the nervous system and maintain a safe space for our work. I am here to remind you that everything you need is already within you. I invite you to join me as we uncover strengths and skills that allow contentment, joy and peace to find you everyday.

With all of life's uncertainties it's easy to lose focus on your well-being but every person deserves to be happy. My central goal is to help my clients explore what will help them to be happier. If you find that you're still carrying the weight of past trauma, loss, failed relationships or any other stressors I can help you put down all that baggage so you can focus on the present and leave the past behind. I strive to ensure that all of my clients feel understood, respected and heard. I also strive to ensure that as a rapport develops my clients will feel comfortable to open up as there will be no judgment from me regardless of what a client is struggling with. I'd love to hear from you and help you in your journey to a happier you!

Do you often see patterns in your life that you would like to change ,yet still repeat them? Counseling sessions will provide the support and guidance to understand and release emotions that keep you stuck. Relationships are key, whether it be your relationship with yourself, your partner, family member or friends, you will be able to develop self awareness and understanding of the influence of family culture and dynamics.
Over 30 years as a therapist, I have worked in a variety of settings , with a wide spectrum of ages and cultures . This experience has deepened my respect for each individual's journey and the influence of their family beliefs. I help clients to acknowledge these beliefs and gradually transform and expand them to enhance rather than limit their lives.
I have enjoyed working with children and adolescents and bring this experience with me , yet I am currently working primarily with adults which includes a special enjoyment to help couples to successfully transform limiting patterns and develop clear communication and listening skills. I have learned so much about life transitions through my work with trauma, hospice, death and dying, treatment foster care, eating disorders and liaison work with educational and community. These experience have strengthen my belief in human resiliency.
All of the sessions are remote and I provide a phone call prior to beginning sessions where you will be able to ask questions to see if we are a good "fit" to work together.

You've already taken an important first step in the process of change, simply by being here. I would love to work with you to help you reach your goals and regain your footing on your path forward.
