Therapists Beginning With V in Connecticut

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of dedicated service, I bring a wealth of experience in guiding adolescents, adults, and families through challenging times. My career has been shaped by roles within Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice settings in New York City, where I honed my skills in trauma-related disorders, anxiety, depression, parent/child relationships, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach is founded on principles of openness and compassion. I am committed to providing evidence-based therapy tailored to the unique needs of teens, adults, and families.

We offer every client the opportunity to develop their sense of self-worth, build a greater alignment with their true identity, and move them toward finding purpose and meaning in their own lives. We believe that every person, no matter their mental health condition, feels contented when they have begun their wellness journey; with help from their therapeutic provider, and is learning to live in gratitude, forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and acceptance. Although this goal may seem lofty, we have never met any person who could not find their way to these ideals, and through them learn to manage their overall depression and anxiety.

Vision of Hope is a small group practice with a team of Professional Therapists. We have a group of social workers and licensed professional counselors that specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who have been impacted by trauma, struggling to cope with negative and painful emotions, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and relationships. One of the great values of obtaining therapy is to experience for oneself the great value of positive support. We strongly believe in meeting our clients where they are, and providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

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, depression, and adjusting to transitions in life.

We are wired to flourish in connection, authenticity, mutual empathy, and mutual empowerment. Seeking help and beginning your transformational journey requires you to be vulnerable. We will work together to create a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore what has brought you to therapy, and identify what you would like to change through our work together.

Are you an adult or teen wondering about psychotherapy? Do you have the sense that things could be better? We all have moments of feeling stuck in our lives, meaning that we are not progressing forward in an area of our life. We can feel stuck in our personal growth, in our relationships, in our parenting or in our professional lives. We can also feel bogged down in emotional states such as anxiety, depressed mood or lack of optimism. Together we can work to get you "unstuck" and feeling better about the direction of your life and your relationships.

I have worked in various professional settings through direct practice and in social advocacy. I have worked alongside state non-profits in child welfare, as well as school base counseling and outpatient clinics.

Grief is a sneaky condition. It comes in and out of our minds and bodies like the waves in the ocean. One moment you feel you are managing your life and even find yourself feeling joy, the next moment you feel guilty for feeling happy. You may feel crushed by the weight of grief, not knowing who you are anymore without your loved one in your life. Learning to adjust to loss and figuring out how to live life again in a meaningful way may be what you are looking for in grief counseling. Finding out what you are going through is part of the grief journey can be a source of relief and part of why you seek out support.

I provide individual psychotherapy to clients in CT and NY. Sometimes our most debilitating problems can be solved by learning what to do differently and developing the capacity to do it. There are also times when we already know what changes we should make, but we feel blocked from making those changes. We feel compelled to repeat the same broken patterns of behavior despite our best intentions. When this is the problem, psychotherapy becomes a process of uncovering our unique reasons for being stuck. By bringing these blind spots into view, psychotherapy can help us address our anxiety about change and enhance our motivation.
