Therapists Beginning With B in Connecticut

Welcome! My name is Kathryn and I am so glad you are here. I am passionate social worker who values helping individuals navigate their journey towards health and overall wellness. I have over 5 years of experience providing support to adolescents and adults, I work with individuals who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, interpersonal conflict and more. Current openings are daytime on Mondays for summer only and Friday evenings.

I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar, depressive and anxiety disorders), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic PD). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

Each person is unique and therapy should be tailored to suit the individual seeking assistance. I work in a way to help each person determine the goal of therapy and we work together to achieve it. Although we all face challenges, everyone has strengths. I believe in tapping into these strengths and positive experiences to move past these obstacles in order to help the client achieve his/her best self.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who, for twenty years, has been helping others to live and lead their best lives. I have far-reaching experience with helping people to manage addiction, process trauma and loss, cope with mental illness, and take on the challenges of everyday life. I hold the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship seriously and, as such, your comfort and privacy are exceptionally important to me.

I work with individuals who are dealing with substance abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit disorder, or obsessive compulsive disorder.

Do you feel you are alone in a world of 7.8 billion people or a town of 2000 people? Do you feel no one understand you? Do you feel you have done everything required to succeed, yet you feel empty? Do you feel you are in a relationship that is challenging your existence and you are feeling gaslighted? Do you feel, you are an executive, yet you are burnout? Are you facing challenges that are making your present worse than your past? Is hope a distant dream? Is your sleep pattern a problem? Do you feel disempowered? Are challenges and anxieties getting you stuck? Empowerment Strategic Counseling Solutions want to collaborate with you.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing life changes, such as depression, divorce and job difficulties. I do a lot of EAP work, dealing with workplace difficulties. I am also an SAP(Substance Abuse Professional), who does DWI evaluations and assesments for DOT referrals. I also work with teenagers,dealing with divorce issues and relationship problems. Much of my work deals with marriage and family issues. I have successfully helped many couples dealing with marital issues, and extramarital affairs. I have worked for the State of New York for many years, dealing with individuals with chronic mental illness.

Hi there! Building a strong, therapeutic relationship is an important part of this process. I work collaboratively with patients to build trust, have fun when it's appropriate, find helpful coping skills, and unpack experiences at your pace. I show up authentically as myself to build rapport. Creating a space where you can show up as your genuine self as well is my goal. Therapy can be heavy at times, so I love to use humor and sarcasm when it fits the situation.

Accept New Clients! It takes courage to begin the process of change and healing. By considering ways to engage in treatment, you have already begun this process. Talking about our feelings is hard, especially when we are ambivalent or do not know how to feel. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to help you explore those feelings.

Are you struggling with getting motivated or low mood? I am an experienced CBT psychologist with a positive, direct, and humor-filled style. If that approach appeals to you, I'd love to help!

Alcohol abuse and drug overdose is on the rise as the United States is facing a worsening substance use crisis. The human mind is a beautiful thing, but the mind is also something that can enslave us. This enslavement sometimes takes the form of an addiction to drugs and alcohol. I am a highly skilled Drug and Alcohol Counselor with over ten years of experience. My mission is to free individuals from the shackles of addiction while joining them on their journey towards reaching their full potential of renewed hope, healing, self-awareness, and acceptance.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, motivational and collaborative using a strength-based approach. I view client difficulties through a systemic lens, integrating information from all areas of life. I help clients work through a variety of issues, such as but not limited to anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief, anger, and relational challenges.

Are you looking for a solution to be a calmer parent and raise a happier kid? Do you have a kid you are worried about? It can be hard to know who to call and where to begin. If you are reading this, you might feel exhausted and overwhelmed in parenthood. You probably didn’t expect family life to feel this hard. Like most parents, you are doing your best—but you and your kid(s) deserve some real tools and strategies to begin to thrive.

The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage. Part of the difficulty lies in choosing the right person to work with. All of us want to work with someone who cares, knows how to listen, does not judge, and ultimately is healing and can help in problem solving. In my 20 years of experience, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, families and couples. I enjoy this population enormously. My biggest strength is my empathy. My clients feel safe with me; they know I am an invested therapist and that I truly care. I am passionate about love, compassion and equality. I create peace every day.

As a psychologist, consultant and coach in the area of behavioral health, my primary goal is to provide a comfortable, trusting and professional environment where individuals can work on important issues that effect their life. I provide a comprehensive set of services for adults across the lifespan ages 18 to 100+ years old. I offer assessment, evaluation, and treatment interventions for individuals, couples, families and groups with general clinical, issues (i.e. Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship Problems, Family Conflict and Parenting). I provide services for patients with health problems, injury and neuropsychological issues with a focus on life adjustment and living with serious illness.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work for 41 years, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness. I invite you to let me walk that journey with you.... -- Barbara

As Maya Angelou, the Poet, stated "people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This quote embodies my therapeutic approach where we will work together to build a safe, genuine relationship that highlights your strengths, and provides clarity about your struggles so we can use them as opportunities for growth. My style is warm, engaging, creative, direct and flexible. Drawing from a wide range of effective treatment strategies, I listen well while also asking the challenging questions to get you to the place you so desire.

I enjoy assisting people who are dealing with one or more of the stresses life can bring including anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting issues. I work best with issues of stress and family dysfunction, relationship issues, self-defeating behavior patterns, parenting issues with teens/oppositional children. Ideally, clients I work with are willing to express their feelings, explore their situations in a safe, accepting environment in order to achieve the peace of mind they seek.

To those around you, you are a loving, caring, strong, supportive mother. But inside you are dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, and fluctuating moods. Perhaps a past traumatic experience continues to live in your present, or maybe those around you are noticing a change in you since the birth of your baby. Maybe you are struggling with time management or trying to adjust to your new role and identity. No matter where you are in your journey through motherhood, the time is now to learn that you can be the best version or yourself, not only for yourself but for those you love and who love you.
