Greetings! Are you feeling overwhelmed by day- to day issues? Are you struggling in your relationships, or having difficulties communicating with others? Do you just need a safe space to vent? These are all normal daily occurrences. This may be where you'll begin in therapy. However, the goal is to increase coping skills and decrease adverse symptoms as time progresses. My goal is to connect with you and truly understand your needs and goals. Expect an environment free of judgment where you can speak freely and show up as your authentic self. My approach is person-centered while utilizing appropriate evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I help support young adults, individuals, and couples that may be dealing with a range of challenges in their lives related to trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself, my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard. My name is Stephanie (or Stevie, either is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 5 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

You may be the person everyone depends on — the caregiver, professional, parent, ministry leader, or helper — yet internally you feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck. Perhaps you are grieving a loss, navigating burnout, struggling with depression or anxiety, carrying unresolved trauma, or quietly trying to hold everything together while feeling alone inside. I provide emotionally safe, psychologically grounded counseling for adults, adolescents, couples, caregivers, clergy, and high-functioning individuals seeking healing, clarity, and support during difficult seasons of life. As both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Catholic priest with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Connecticut, I bring together evidence-based therapy with compassionate human and pastoral insight. For clients who desire it, spirituality and faith can thoughtfully become part of the healing process. For others, therapy may remain fully focused on emotional and psychological care. My approach is compassionate, reflective, practical, and deeply respectful of each client’s background, values, and lived experiences. Together, we work toward helping you: . process grief and emotional pain, . manage anxiety, depression, and stress, . heal from burnout and trauma, . strengthen emotional boundaries, . improve relationships and communication, . reconnect with your sense of identity and peace, . and move toward meaningful and lasting change. You do not have to carry everything alone anymore.

Whether you're seeking therapy to process and learn to cope with painful life experiences and past trauma, are working on healing from past DV/IPV relationships, depression, anxiety, body image and eating concerns, substance use, strained family relationships, a partnership where you both just can't seem to connect or see eye to eye like you used to - I'd love to help! My training has allowed me to view mental health concerns and life's struggles in a way that takes into consideration not only you as an individual, but the relationships within your life and how they both positively and negatively impact you. I'm here to provide support, strategies, a calming presence and an empathetic ear to help facilitate meaningful change in your life and show you that we're all doing the best that we can every day, and that we can learn lessons and find glimmers of hope in our everyday existence. I'm adept at helping my clients reframe difficult thoughts that can overtake the mind and impact your ability to have the happy, healthy life that you deserve. I can help clients recognize that our perceptions are our reality, but maybe at times we can benefit from shifting our perspectives to allow us to see beyond the confines that we, and others, have created for us.

Hi, I’m Carolyn — I’m a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to supporting adults and parents throughout New York and Connecticut as they navigate the deeply personal transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. With a background in inpatient, outpatient, and in-home therapeutic settings, I bring over a decade of experience walking alongside clients through moments of challenge, transition, and healing. Today, in my private practice, I specialize in perinatal mental health — offering a warm, nonjudgmental space for mothers, fathers, and caregivers navigating the emotional complexities of fertility, birth, postpartum recovery, and parenting. I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) and earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University. My approach blends clinical expertise with compassion, tailored support, and the belief that seeking help is a strength, especially when caring for others begins with caring for yourself.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have mostly worked with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, stress and sleep issues. I have 33 years working as a social worker and helping clients. I enjoy this partnership with clients and working together to reach peace, happiness and your goals. My approach to therapy is eclectic which means I use a variety of approaches to help you arrive at your best self. Frequently, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while combining elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. I also focus on uncovering your strengths as a core foundation to then work on areas preventing you from reaching your goals and achieving happiness. I enjoy assisting others and providing a listening ear. I believe that one has the power to experience happiness despite difficulties and/or unwelcoming circumstances. We can influence our brains and learn skills to handle stress, anxiety, and life challenges. I enjoy sharing knowledge to better assist clients to manage obstacles so that they can ultimately live a happier life.

Hello, my name is Kelley Machado, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut. You may wonder what does Licensed Clinical Social Worker mean, what does that allow me to do? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have the unique opportunity to help people work through various points in their lives. In the years I have been a social worker I have worked with various populations of people from many socioeconomic, cultural, and racial backgrounds as well as people with various presenting concerns. I began my career working in the mental health system, then the criminal justice system, then onto medical social work including various medical issues as well as aging and end of life concerns. I believe people can experience difficulties with coping whenever faced with a transition in life. These changes can include monumental transitions that are both good or bad, like a new job, new family members, loss, separations, disappointments, traumatic events, etc. These types of experiences can cause psychosocial distress which can have far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our lives. I work with my clients who include children, adults, couples, and families to find healthy coping methods in order to gain a healthier perception of themselves which can help to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others so they can find themselves as comfortable, secure, and whole. I take time to get to know each of my clients on an individual basis so that I can tailor approaches to care because I have learned that not one approach impacts and helps all clients. I have been trained and adopted many approaches to provide therapeutic support including cognitive-behavioral, attachment theory, developmental theory, trauma theory, and dialectical behavioral theory. Change is not easy and embarking on change takes a tremendous amount of courage and actions. I congratulate you on your wish, strength, and wisdom for seeking help and taking this first step towards making a change in your life. If you are prepared to move beyond wishes and intentions to action and fulfillment- I am here to empower and support you to achieve your goals. I would love to help you reach your goals, whatever that may be in life so you can move forward

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them. I love to highlight my client's strengths. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgment-free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). I am sorry, but I do not accept clients who pay in cash. Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee. It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!

My goal is to help you feel more in control of your lives by cultivating self-awareness, processing emotions, problem-solving, and replacing unsupportive coping skills with healthier strategies. Together we explore and identify the underlying thoughts and emotions that drive these behaviors while working at your pace.

Hi there, I'm Lauramarie. Do you find getting up and going about your day-to-day routines becoming a challenge? Are you having trouble trying to figure out who you are and how to navigate relationships with others in a healthy way? Does anxiety, stress, or frustration interfere with sleep or getting tasks accomplished? I work with adult clients to build a strong sense of self, create healthy relationships and boundaries, and work on relaxation and coping skills to decrease the impacts of symptoms of anxiety, stress, mild/moderate depression, and adjusting to transitions in life. Together we can create a person-centered set of goals to address what is not working and begin finding peace and healing. I love integrating aspects of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and communication skills to empower you to become your best self. Whether you're dealing with changes in life, conflicts within different relationships, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and you will be met with compassion, validation, and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the difficulties and habits holding you back. Let's work together! Who would not be a good fit for my practice? I've found that individuals who aren't willing to apply what is discussed and learned outside of sessions will struggle to make meaningful progress. Clients that experience complex traumas, are at a higher risk with significant depression or suicidal ideation, or children under 18 would not be a good fit at this time as well.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing and growth are possible for everyone. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through active listening, empathy, and faith-based counseling, I help clients find strength, resilience, and clarity in their journey. I am passionate about working with young adults and individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves better, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for long-term emotional and mental well-being. Faith can provide comfort and direction, so I incorporate spiritual principles for those who seek them. I also emphasize the mind-body connection, encouraging self-care practices such as exercise, nutrition, and rest to support overall wellness. With experience in anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and mood-related concerns, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending church, traveling, listening to gospel music, cooking, and reading. I look forward to supporting you on your journey of healing, growth, and fulfillment. Together, we can navigate challenges and empower you to live a healthier, more purposeful life.
