Therapists in Connecticut

My name is Wendy, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be rooted in respect, compassion, and genuine understanding. My approach combines evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These goal-oriented strategies empower you to tap into your own strengths and create meaningful, lasting change—often allowing you to see progress sooner than expected. I work with adults, adolescents, and children, and I am committed to meeting you where you are. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, or communication issues, I’ll be here to support and guide you every step of the way. I’m glad you’ve taken this important step toward change. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move forward on your path to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

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.

Authentic communication is an important part of the therapeutic process, especially for neurodivergent clients. If you’re looking for someone who will show up as themselves, champion your special interests and strengths, and work with you to relieve some of your daily distress, I’m the therapist for you. Together, we’ll find solutions that you can feel good about and empower you to make lasting change.

Hi, I’m Rebecca. Starting therapy can feel a little scary or uncertain, and that’s completely normal. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your relationships and life, reflect on what’s important to you, and find ways to move forward with confidence, clarity, and a sense of hope.

Life can be overwhelming, and it takes courage to seek support. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in Michigan and now also in Connecticut, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I am passionate about helping adults heal from the pain of depression, anxiety, grief, and substance use—especially when these struggles are rooted in past trauma. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back, and I will guide you with a blend of evidence-based techniques, empathy, and yes, even laughter. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping and find more peace in your life, I’m ready to help. Let’s connect and begin this work together.

Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but the rewards can be profound. I would be honored to be the one to support you in meeting your goals. I have a passion for working with adults 18+ who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, relationship issues, women's health, grief, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions and many other struggles. With 10+ years of counseling/social work experience, I know we can work together to build you up and support you in learning techniques to make life a little more manageable. 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, 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.

“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.

Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor living in Savannah, GA. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I have been in the mental health field for 15 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including community based support, inpatient, partial hospital, and integrated primary care settings.

I work with my clients to determine what goals and success means for them and I aim to create an open and safe environment where we can learn and grow together.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, my commitment is to help my clients enhance their quality of life and make positive changes that will improve their overall wellbeing.

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, nice to meet you! Overwhelmed, stressed, or just burnt out with feelings that have become hard to manage? Are you always saying yes, struggling to manage time, and have feelings of guilt when putting yourself first? Lack of boundaries in relationships can caue overwhelm, stress, and just burnout that becomes hard to manage. Im here to help. My name is Samantha and I'm an LPC and LADC, and I graduated with a master's degree in clinical mental health. I started my career working with people who struggled with dual diagnosis- mental health and substance abuse challenges. In my session's I like to bring my human-ness and light humor into session for an easy transition into some of the more challenging topics. I am the wife of a fireman and I understand the unique challenges that come with the first responder lifestyles. In my work, I help people gain an understanding of how they navigate through the world and focus on challenging symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders that arise. My philosophy is to approach each person as the "expert" of themselves while providing guidance, support and informed psychotherapeutic interventions to help them navigate their way to better mental health. All are welcome here.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in young adults, couples and individual counseling. 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.

I’m a warm, collaborative Marriage & Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families feel grounded, understood, and supported. Over the past nine years, I’ve worked across Connecticut’s community mental health system, including adult outpatient services, jail diversion programs, child and family services, extended day treatment, adolescent and adult substance use treatment, intensive in‑home family therapy, and extensive clinical work with service members, Veterans, and first responders. My therapeutic style is integrative and trauma‑informed, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment‑based models, and somatic awareness practices. I help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and build secure, meaningful relationships with themselves and others. I believe healing happens within compassionate, attuned relationships. Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in our work together. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I offer a safe, steady space for meaningful change.

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.

I am committed to helping my client's overcome addiction, depression, anxiety, and other life stressors that can affect people at different times in their lives.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring the challenges in your life.

My name is Rick Amaral, ACSW, LCSW. Let me begin by fully introducing myself and sharing with you my years of experience as a clinician, manager and director. I have been working with children, teens and adult in many different formats (i.e. individual, family work, group work) for over 30 years in both private practice, as well as with local community mental health agencies. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the local area colleges for the past 20+ years, teaching both psychology and sociology courses (both graduate and undergraduate level courses). In our sessions, I would like to utilize a strengths-based approach that works alongside you to identify areas that you would like to work on. Acknowledging that all cars come with rearview mirrors, I would like to spend some time hearing from you about past life events and journey that you think have contributed to your development (both positively and otherwise). My preferred way of assisting you is to focus on a Life Narrative format. Such narratives allow for many chapters, some written, many left to be written. When warranted, I will provide psycho-educational information on topics of interest (i.e. diagnosis, skill building, coping skills, mindfulness, etc..) and will share with you both local and community supports that you could draw upon after our time together has come to a close.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of field experience. I specialize in clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues but have worked with clients with numerous mental health and life struggles including parenting issues, bipolar, self-harm, grief/loss, and much more. I know starting therapy can feel scary and overwhelming so I strive to provide a warm, welcoming therapeutic environment. A strong relationship is the most important thing to me during the therapeutic process. Once that is established then we can focus on the work that needs to be done.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters in Social Work from Southern CT State University in 1997 and have been practicing for 27 years. I help adults 18 + in dealing with various stressors in their current or past life, from loss to dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as issues in any kind of relationship.

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.

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’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life transitions.

Together, we’ll work to better understand what you're experiencing and develop tools to help you feel more balanced, confident, and in control. My goal is to help you move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable.

Hello! I'm a LCSW based in Connecticut. I have over 25 years of experiencing working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds with a variety of issues. I received my master's in social work from Springfield College in 2004 and have been licensed in CT since 2007. In my practice, I use a present-focused solution-based approach. Individuals who choose to work with me will find they are working on practical solutions to their everyday issues.

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.

“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'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.

My name is Christopher Raposo. I’m a trained and licensed clinical social worker. My work experience has been in acute psychiatric hospitalization, outpatient substance abuse, and community behavioral health clinics. I’ve worked with a clientele suffering from a vast array of disorders, backgrounds, and life stressors. The work we do as a team mostly consists of psychoeducation, therapy, and a therapeutic alliance defined by treatment goals and objectives.

I’m a relational, insight-oriented therapist who believes meaningful change happens when we slow down enough to understand what’s really driving our patterns. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, and relationship dynamics, especially those who function well on the outside but feel tangled or overwhelmed internally. My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. Together, we look at the emotional themes and internal narratives shaping your current struggles, not just to analyze them, but to help you move through life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

Great to meet you! I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — we take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different. My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change. When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way.

My name is Nora Paparo and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Fordham University. I specialize in working with people who are struggling to function in their day-to-day lives helping them build skills, find balance, regain stability and move toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll focus on creating small, meaningful changes that lead to lasting progress.

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.

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. I am also a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator through Copper Beech Institute and hold certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from The Embody Lab. My approach weaves together mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based practices to support healing on every level—mind, body, and heart. I believe that when we bring awareness to how our bodies hold emotion and experience, we begin to unravel old patterns and open to a deeper sense of freedom and peace. If you’re seeking a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward healing and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Maybe lately you haven't felt like yourself. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, exhausted from trying to keep up with everything, or struggling with motivation. Perhaps anxiety is making everyday situations feel harder than they should, or you're dealing with depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or a major life transition and aren't sure how to move forward. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including crisis situations, suicidal thoughts, family conflict, and significant life changes. My experience has taught me that there isn't one approach that works for everyone. I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively to understand what they're experiencing and what they need. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based therapy, compassion-focused therapy, DBT-informed strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and family therapy to help clients better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical tools for navigating challenges. Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. If you've been thinking about reaching out, I'd be happy to meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward feeling more like yourself again.

I have an obligation to help my clients find their inner strengths and empower them to improve their own lives. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and while resilience matters, there are moments when extra support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance abuse/misuse.

I’m glad you’re here. Looking for support is a big first step. Therapy can be a place to slow down, to make sense of what you’re dealing with, and find new ways forward that feel more manageable. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and New York. I received my Masters from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and have been in the field for 12 years. I have extensive experience working with college-aged and emerging adults navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Additionally, I've worked with adults on the autism spectrum, family members and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities, and others in helping roles. More importantly, I’m interested in getting to know you as an individual and working together in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with who you are.

I have over 20 years of experience in working with individuals working within the Behavioral Health and Substance abuse field.

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.

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. For our virtual sessions, grab a coffee or tea, a snack, a heated blanket, your pet, a fidget, or whatever helps you feel comfortable and cozy from the comfort of your own home. All are welcome here!

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.

Many of us experience issues with anxiety, confidence, and self-esteem. Emotions, thoughts and behaviors can be very challenging. It is my goal to assist clients with understanding how these three components are interrelated and to assist clients with empowering themselves to achieve increased awareness, introspection and insight and gain a happier life. Are you faced with worry? Do you find yourself overthinking and experiencing racing thoughts? Perhaps you experience social anxiety. Are you facing a history of family trauma? Or perhaps, issues with communication and conflict in a relationship? Perhaps you are dealing with a stressful matter related to your career, or educational endeavors. Or, you may be dealing with identity issues and/or gender changes. These are just some of the examples of the topics that we can address during sessions. Karenna Lang's primary areas of interest include persons suffering from anxiety, persons with a history of family trauma, and individuals and couples experiencing problems with communication and conflicts. Experiences, focus and satisfaction also includes working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.

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!

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!

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut and North Carolina. I received my Masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh and have been practicing for 9 years. I have worked in schools, hospitals and private practice. I support adults to navigate a variety of life stresses and manage mental health that allows them achieve life goals and happiness in multiple aspects of life.

I help professionals in recovery who are carrying more than anyone realizes. Many of my clients are high-achieving people who have spent years holding everything together on the outside while privately struggling with alcohol, substances, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, or burnout. They’re people who have been depended on—at home, at work, and in their families—and they’re tired of performing, hiding, or white-knuckling their way through life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in addiction recovery, trauma, and life transitions, I bring a grounded, practical, and compassionate approach. My work is deeply influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), values-based living, and helping clients build a life that feels aligned rather than pressured or chaotic. I understand that asking for help—especially as a professional—comes with unique challenges: reputation concerns, workplace stress, perfectionism, shame, fear of consequences, and relationships strained by years of coping alone. My role is not to judge or lecture, but to offer a private, steady space where you can talk openly, regain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more peaceful life. Whether you’re navigating early sobriety, long-term recovery, career demands, relationship stress, or a sense that you’ve lost yourself, I’m here to walk with you—not as an authority figure, but as someone who respects the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready for therapy that’s confidential, respectful, and tailored to the realities of being a professional in recovery, I’d be honored to support you.

Hello, I am a LCSW who has been working within the field for over 10 years providing me with a wide variety of knowledge and experience with many different clients. Life is not always easy or exactly how we wish it to be, and there comes a time when everyone needs help and support. I am here to help. If you are struggling with emotions, life changes, stress, relationships, family, loss reach out and let's start working together. Or, if you simply want to change yourself, your life, or a part of your life, I can absolutely help. If you are mandated to treatment for any type of behavioral problem, anger management, or addiction schedule an appointment and let's get started. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve the goals you have in mind.

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.
