Do you feel overwhelmed? Like life just feels hard? Anxiety is messy, unpredictable, overpowering and insidious. It can feel terrible. Not just for the person who is experiencing it, but also for the people who love them. If you feel this way, you are not alone! I am here to help. The goal is not to get rid of your anxiety; the goal is to live your life despite it. It is not safety you are looking for, but courage. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is committed to assisting you through your journey to becoming the best version of yourself. Together we can work to increase skills to navigate through life's ups and downs. 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, a courageous one at that. Like many journeys, therapy begins with where you are now, factors in where you have been, and creates a plan for where you want to go. I have found that an eclectic therapeutic approach adapted to individual needs is most effective. This approach utilizes cognitive, behavioral, trauma informed practices and mindfulness techniques.

Hi! I'm a licensed mental health counselor living in Savannah, GA, licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I've been doing this work for 15 years, in settings ranging from community-based support to inpatient, partial hospital, and integrated primary care. I lean on evidence based strategies like CBT and DBT, but the real foundation is understanding how life experience and trauma live in the body, not just the mind. My job is to help you figure out what "better" actually looks like for you, then build a space where we can get there together.

Hi there, my name is Emily and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in CT and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in IL who works with adolescents and adults using a variety of theoretical perspectives in individual, family and group therapy sessions. I have 15 years of clinical experience in a variety of environments including outpatient, inpatient, community, and in-home settings. I specialize in working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and clients of all ages who have experienced varying types of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. This experience has helped to expand my clinical areas of expertise such as stress and anxiety reduction, management of depressive and mood symptoms, harm reduction and substance abuse, and symptoms/risk behaviors associated with personality and attachment disorders. Additionally, I have worked within the foster care system providing both individual and family therapy services to children, adolescents, and guardians. I incorporate an array of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and solution-focused interventions into my treatment approach. In my extensive work with anxiety disorders and effects of trauma, I have frequently utilized DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) techniques, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and other interventions which focus on the psychosomatic manifestation of mental suffering in the body. I am motivated to help clients integrate past experiences into their current identity to increase insight in such a way as to make progress toward personal goals.

Hi, I'm Leanne! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and I believe it takes courage to begin sharing your story with someone new. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and exploring whatever brings you to therapy. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, navigate a difficult period, or create lasting change, I look forward to working alongside you as you take this next step!

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…” Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances! A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks. Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) with a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals through some of life's most difficult challenges. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Professional Counseling from Central Connecticut State University, with specialized training in addictions recovery, mental health, and rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of clients across diverse and often high-stakes settings. Most recently, I spent seven years as a Licensed Professional Counselor at Garner Correctional Institution, providing individual counseling, group therapy, and crisis intervention to justice-involved adults navigating complex mental health needs, trauma, and reentry challenges. Prior to that, I served as an Outpatient Therapist at Farrell Treatment Center, where I helped establish a new Intensive Outpatient Program and delivered trauma-informed, gender-responsive care to individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders. My earlier work with the Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut and the Hospital for Special Care deepened my understanding of how neurological, behavioral, and emotional health intersect. I work with men, women, teenagers, and young adults of any gender, race, religious background, or sexual orientation who are open to learning new skills and committed to meaningful goals in therapy. Clients often come to me seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of adverse life experiences. Drawing on evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I tailor treatment to each client's strengths, values, and goals. I am committed to providing a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where every client feels respected, heard, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

Hello and welcome to my page! Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable and scary but I am here to help you begin that journey. My passion is helping individuals become the best version of themselves. I believe in holistic healing and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes and life challenges to live a happier, healthier life. My approach is strength based and solution focused and utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. I view our work together as a collaboration and strive to create a warm and caring space for that to happen. Together we will work together to identify your goals, find solutions, and learn coping strategies to help you overcome the challenges you are facing.

It’s tricky being a person. Talk therapy can help. Life can be complicated. Maybe you're going through a big change, feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts, or wondering why you've been stuck in the same patterns. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out on your own. Sometimes the ways we've always coped stop working as well as they once did. Therapy can help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. Talk therapy can help by providing a structured space to: Understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Work through stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges. Develop coping strategies and communication skills. Explore personal goals, values, and identity. Feel heard by someone trained to listen without judgment. It's not only for crises or mental health diagnoses. Some people use therapy much like they would coaching, education, or preventative healthcare: as a way to better understand themselves and handle life's complexities.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy for teens, adults, and families across Connecticut. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not like someone talking at you. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and down-to-earth, creating a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment while also being challenged in ways that help you grow. While we'll absolutely make room for the hard conversations, I also believe laughter belongs in therapy. Sometimes humor helps us feel more human, more connected, and reminds us that healing doesn't always have to feel heavy. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to understand what's happening beneath the surface and build practical skills that create lasting change.

“Unconditional Positive Regard” - the idea of being accepted and supported, no matter what. Unconditionally. While it would be nice to always be surrounded by people who provide it, if you aren’t, you can find it in our space together. A firm believer in solution-focused, strengths-based, and action-oriented therapeutic approaches, Arika Adams, LCSW, has had over a decade of working with children and families who have experienced trauma, including significant work with adoptive families - particularly those adopting older children and perinatal women. Trained in Perinatal Mental Health, EMDR, and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy her goal is to help you feel empowered to make the decisions you feel will help you live your best life.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Connecticut. I received my degree from Fairfield University and have over 20 years experience specializing in working with adults managing stress, anxiety, chronic illness, relationship issues and life transitions. I prefer an integrative approach to meet you where you are at in your life. My goal is to help you achieve your goals.

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with children ages 4–7 using play based therapy, a developmentally appropriate approach that meets children where they are. Because play is a natural way children communicate and make sense of the world around them, it provides a safe and engaging space for them to express emotions, work through difficult experiences, and develop new skills. Additionally, I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are navigating difficult family dynamics and relationship challenges. I help clients find their voice, build self trust, set healthier boundaries, and heal from toxic or emotionally harmful relationships. Together, we work to better understand patterns, strengthen self worth, and move toward relationships that feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling.

Hi, I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in supporting young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment, creating a space where individuals feel safe to explore their experiences authentically. My approach is grounded in meeting people where they are and partnering with them throughout their individual journey toward growth and healing. I am passionate about this work because I believe everyone needs support at times, and that people often possess more strength, resilience, and capacity for change than they realize.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

Welcome! I’m so happy to have you here! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals across a variety of populations and age ranges. I primarily work with adults, young adults, and adolescents who may be navigating a range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, adjustment concerns, trauma, grief, familial conflict, and various life transitions. Throughout my career, I have also had opportunities to work with individuals and families impacted by autism spectrum disorder, early intervention (ages 0–3), LGBTQ+ clients, couples, parenting concerns, and academic or school-related challenges. My approach is individualized, and I recognize that every person brings their own unique experiences, strengths, and goals to therapy. In addition to providing clinical services, I also serve as a clinical supervisor, supporting emerging clinicians as they develop their clinical skills, confidence, and professional identity. Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy, identify the areas you would like to focus on, and develop an individualized treatment plan based on your needs and priorities. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, strengths-based, and holistic approach to therapy. I believe that creating a genuine, comfortable therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process, and I am committed to showing up consistently and authentically as we work together toward meaningful change. Let’s start tackling the stressors and challenges you’re facing together.

All are welcome here!

"I help people become their best selves, feel empowered in their lives, and heal. After more than 30 years as a therapist, I still find this work deeply meaningful." "I came to this work through theatre, where I loved understanding what makes people tick, and through nursing, where I helped hospital patients manage their fears and concerns about their health. Those paths led me to social work, and I've been helping people ever since." "I work with adults of all ages, including older adults. I especially enjoy supporting people who are coping with life changes, grief, building self-esteem, managing home life with children and aging parents, or navigating prenatal and postpartum stressors. If you're feeling stuck, worn down, or ready for support, I'd be glad to talk."

Hi, I’m a licensed social worker who specializes in supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, and empowerment.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore difficult emotions, identify patterns, and develop practical tools for growth.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who’s passionate about helping people create lives they actually love and enjoy. In therapy, I focus on helping you figure out what’s getting in the way and how we can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be in life. I've worked with children, teens, adults, and families, and have experience in outpatient therapy, middle and high school settings, and intensive outpatient programs. My experience with different populations and within different settings has shown me that challenges exist within every stage of life, and people can benefit from a steady, collaborative therapeutic space that helps them make sense of what they’re going through and move forward.

For more than 25 years as a social worker, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build the skills needed to create meaningful change. Over the years, I have learned that growth rarely happens in a straight line. It often begins with small steps, honest conversations, and the willingness to try something new. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, even during life’s most difficult seasons, and that healing is possible when people feel supported, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I blend evidence-based practices with humor, grace, and gentle persistence to help clients move toward the life they want. In our work together, we will focus on what is already working, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical coping skills that fit your unique needs and values. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can speak openly, explore challenges without judgment, and feel encouraged to keep moving forward, even when progress feels slow. I also believe therapy should be both practical and empowering. Together, we will look for creative solutions, build resilience, and strengthen your confidence in handling whatever comes your way. Change is not always easy, but you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you reduce your struggles, reconnect with your strengths, and discover the tools you need not just to cope, but to thrive in your daily life and relationships. Whether you are facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I will meet you where you are and work with you at a pace that feels manageable, hopeful, and grounded in your strengths so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Therapy I feel is a chance to learn and shift patterns in our lives. Relationships are a key part of life but are difficult on many levels and we learn the way that we communicate with other from our experience. Learning and understanding that experience can help us make the changes that we would like to see in life. I believe in having an open space free from judgement were people can explore who they are and learn how to use that to change their lives and their relationships with others. I work with people from all different perspectives and believe that we are the products of our experience and that we can find ways to change the patterns that are not helpful for us. Communication is key in relationships but it is something that we have trouble with but are not always aware of the impact. Learning patterns, identifying the meaning that we put to our experiences and seeing our strengths are ways that allow us to become the person that we want to be without losing who we are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals become the best versions of themselves so they can live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I believe an essential component of therapy is providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where healing and personal growth can occur. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths and positive qualities, supporting the development of confidence and self-esteem. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical experience includes addressing behavioral challenges in children, substance and alcohol use among adolescents, family and relational struggles, couples counseling, and individual therapy. I recognize that no two individuals are alike; therefore, I take a flexible, client-centered, and adaptive approach to treatment, tailoring interventions to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

As a psychotherapist my goal is to show up empathically and authentically while provide a nonjudgemental safe space for clients to express themselves. By building a strong therapeutic alliance and using a strength based approach, I help my clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges and obstacles standing in their way. I believe in bite-size progress to help motivate us to make bigger changes over time.

Do you struggle with motivation and focus troubles that affects more than just your ability to get your homework done? Do you feel overwhelmed by basic tasks that you can’t seem to get started? Do you ever wonder that life could be better, your mind a little quieter? Now more than ever, young adults are feeling overwhelmed with the life presented to them. I believe you can find the motivation to get control of your life again. I work primarily with young adults with ADHD and Anxiety and use a person first approach to therapy. We will start with learning how your struggles manifest uniquely in your life. I then will help you by offering behavioral change tools while also working on the deeper ‘why’ that brings you to treatment. I strive to offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and open place, so you can get the help you need.

You’ve taken a big step towards a better life. My goal will be to work with you and guide you towards achieving your best outcome. Let’s see if we’re a good fit. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, I bring to the table a wide range of experience and perspectives on life. This is my second career, and I chose it because I strongly believe that I can help individuals improve their quality of life. Depression, anxiety, relationships, career difficulties, life transitions, burnout… these are some of the issues that cause us to lose our equilibrium. To reestablish equilibrium, we will use cognitive behavior therapy, my principle area of expertise. We will look at behaviors that aren’t working for you and replace them with behaviors that improve your daily life. I believe wholeheartedly in a holistic approach to therapy and foremost is the importance of self-care. You will learn how self-care enhances self-respect, and how important these two factors are for establishing a firm foundation for the new, improved you. And there will be homework assignments each week related to current goals: the harder you work, the greater your progress. You have to be “in it to win it.” My first career was in business, and I utilize some basic business principles in my psychotherapy, most notably organization skills and the allocation of your inner resources. This has worked well in my psychotherapy with chronic illness clients, with clients in the military, with business executives and retirees, new careerists, and parents, just to name a few. Are you ready to work hard and bring your best game? I’m ready to work with you and show you how, together, we can build a better path forward.

Hi, I’m Laurie. Are you ready to explore your own inner healing and reconnect with a sense of peace and wholeness? I offer a holistic, mindful, and compassionate approach to therapy that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal and grow. In our sessions, we’ll bring gentle awareness to the parts of you that are asking for care and attention. You’ll learn strategies to regulate your emotions, nurture self-compassion, and respond to life’s challenges from a more grounded and centered place. If you experience feelings of overwhelm, stress, or emotional dysregulation, therapy can be a supportive environment to process and integrate these emotions without becoming consumed by them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a school social worker supporting children, adolescents, and families.

If you’re seeking a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward healing and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I am an LCSW and practice in the state of Connecticut. I have my MSW from U-Conn School of Social Work and have been practicing for over 30 years. Throughout the years, I have primarily worked with teenagers and their families in a psychiatric hospital based clinical day school. That includes direct experience with Special Education services, PPT meetings, IEP's (Individual Education Plans) and behavioral challenges within the school setting.

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.

In our first few sessions, we'll take time to understand what's brought you to therapy and what your're hoping will feel different. From there, I'll share tools you can practice between sessions, but we'll always move at a pace that feels right to you. I work especially well with clients who are ready to show up and do the work. If you're looking for a therapist who brings warmth, humor, and a genuine investment in your growth, I'd love to be part of your journey.
