Evernorth Therapists in Connecticut

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.

I am a licensed, independent clinical social worker that has more than 20 years in the field of helping others. I have worked with clients of all ages from "the littles" at two years old with Autism to those 90+ and above who are coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis. I specialize in working with women, men, and all included in the LGBTQIA+ population. My clinical work has included hospice work, school social work, in home therapy and outpatient clinical work. I love helping people live their calmest and most productive life possible and I truly believe in a positive growth mindset- we are all operating at our best capacity we are capable of at any given moment! As a therapist, I am currently accepting patients who are struggling with depression, anxiety or mood or attention problems. I practice from an existential point of view and believe that my clients are the best experts in their life so I look to our relationship as a partnership of work together moving forward while healing past traumas and experiences that might be holding you back. You have amazing potential- you just need to unleash it and realize the strength that you have within! I look forward to being a guest on your journey to inner peace and strength and look forward to empowering you to take back control in your life to be the best YOU possible! As I am assessing whether we are a good "fit" (as I hope you do as well), there are instances that, professionally, I might not feel that I can adequately be the therapist YOU need in the telehealth realm. The scariest part of therapy is taking that first leap- let me hold your hand so you can be the safest and healthiest possible!

Welcome! I'm Connie, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. You're taking the courageous first step of seeking help for problems that perhaps feel overwhelming at the moment. I have worked for 11 years in community, residential, and correctional settings. I am experienced in working with many challenges including Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Substance Use and Trauma.. I approach each person as the individual you are, and tailor my approach to you. I use such methods as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also integrate mindfulness practices, using the body to help calm the mind. I offer a warm and compassionate space to explore your inner world.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with clients navigating life’s plot twists, anxiety, depression, ADHD, LGBTQ+ identity, and grief, basically all the moments where things don’t go as planned and your brain decides to add commentary. My approach is grounded in both clinical experience and lived experience, including the loss of a baby, being late diagnosed with ADHD, and managing chronic illness, all of which pushed me to learn deeply so I could show up more fully for my clients. I tend to meet people in the messy middle, where things are real, a little complicated, and still very workable.

I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, while also feeling supported, challenged, and empowered to grow. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I aim to bring compassion, curiosity, and a touch of humor into our work together when appropriate.

I’m Evamary Largaespada, a Licensed Professional Counselor supporting children, parents, and adults in creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I work with children from infancy through adolescence, first-time and prenatal parents, and adults looking to heal from past experiences, understand how their childhood impacts their present, and break generational cycles. In my practice, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. I integrate Person-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and attachment-based approaches to help clients heal, grow, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others. I guide adults in connecting with and healing their inner child, understanding patterns shaped by early experiences, and developing new ways of relating to themselves and their loved ones.

You made it! I’m Amanda, and I’m here to help you figure things out. I have the privilege of working with people dealing with all kinds of real-life struggles—trauma, ADHD, anxiety, low motivation, oppositional behavior, or just feeling totally over therapy. A lot of this stuff comes from old pain or shame that’s been weighing you down, and my goal is to help lighten that load so you can feel more like yourself again. My style is trauma-informed, calm, and focused on healing the deeper stuff in a way that feels safe and manageable. I also look at the bigger picture—family dynamics, past relationships, and the systems around you—because they all play a part. ******Please be advised that intake appointments require at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. If an intake is canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice, I will cancel the intake appointment and place you on my waitlist for future availability. I value direct and timely communication and ask that clients be considerate of my time and schedule, just as I strive to be respectful and considerate of yours. Intake appointments are specifically reserved for new clients, and adequate notice allows me the opportunity to offer that time to another individual who may be waiting for services.

Hello! My name is Sam Vamosy, and I’m so glad you’re here and considering working together. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, whether it’s your first experience or you’ve been in therapy before. Taking that first step isn’t always easy, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self and exploring what brought you to therapy. I value a person-centered approach and believe therapy should be tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I incorporate strength-based and solution-focused techniques, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help you recognize and challenge thought patterns and behaviors that may no longer serve you. Together, we’ll identify your goals by exploring what is and isn’t working in your life and develop practical tools and strategies to help you navigate challenges and overcome barriers. We’ll work at your pace, and adjust goals along the way as your needs evolve. I believe meaningful change happens when we can explore not only the challenges we face today, but also the experiences, relationships, patterns, and emotions that have shaped us. Together, we can identify thoughts that contribute to avoidance, fear, anxiety, or feeling stuck and begin developing healthier ways of responding. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, navigating a life transition, facing uncertainty, or working through past experiences, therapy can provide an opportunity for healing and growth. My hope is that you feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered throughout the process. I received my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) after completing 3,000 hours of clinical experience in an outpatient substance use treatment setting. I would be honored to work with you as you build the life you want!

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Ride the Wave Counseling. Thank you for being here! To be self-aware and recognize that you need help is a strength that should be acknowledged. Taking the next step and finding a therapist can feel nerve-wracking and uncomfortable, and while making the decision to start therapy can be hard, finding an approachable and empathetic therapist should not be. Although it’s my job to support and guide my clients through therapy, it’s my passion to empower them, encourage their growth, and help them work toward the goals that are important to them. By establishing a strong rapport and a safe environment, the therapeutic relationship becomes supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental without effort. I want you to feel like you can show up as yourself and know that we are in this together!

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've spent a long time carrying things on your own. You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-criticism, or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up in your life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. I believe therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and practical. We'll work together to better understand your experiences while also building skills you can use in your everyday life. Although we'll explore difficult topics, therapy doesn't have to feel heavy all the time. I believe humor, curiosity, and genuine connection can be important parts of healing. I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, and I often incorporate creative approaches such as writing, storytelling, art, or reflective exercises when they resonate with my clients.

I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptoms—it's about helping you reconnect with yourself. Many of the women I work with are successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from who they truly are. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, regulate your nervous system, build self-trust, and create a life that feels more aligned, calm, and fulfilling. Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
