I understand that every individual comes with challenges and circumstances, and I am committed to delivering personalized support tailored to your situation. Whether you're dealing with mental health issues, family conflicts, substance abuse, or other social or emotional difficulties, I am here to listen, support, and guide you toward a positive solution.

Hello there, my name is Todd Esperance. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Bridgeport. I'm currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Rochester. I'm devoted to facilitating an environment where you can be fully seen and heard, perhaps, for the first time. Together, we will explore your vast lived experience. I have been trained in individual, couple, family, children, crisis, and group settings. However, at current, I only work with individual adults.

When I first meet with clients, my goal is to help them find the main road back to their original journey, from the exit that led them to the off ramp - I offer a steady hand for them to successfully maneuver in the foggy season of their lives. I provide a supportive environment suitable for helping clients form new insights in achieving alternate healthier perspectives than the ineffective solutions currently in use. I provide an atmosphere of professionalism, empathy, and privacy suitable for positive growth and achievable solutions.

I am an experienced Clinical Social Worker who believes your treatment should be individualized to meet your needs. I have experience facilitating groups with a focus on DBT, CBT, ACT, body acceptance and shame resilience. I am passionate about empowering you on your path towards personal growth. I believe in working with you to help you discover your inner strengths and the personal resources that can help you achieve your life worth living goals. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for you to begin your journey into treatment and personal growth.

Are you or a family member struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, crisis, issues related to spirituality, or day-to-day family challenges? Exposure to traumatic events can affect all aspects of life. Helping your grieving child can be difficult and complicated. Allow me to tailor a treatment approach that will focus on mind, body, and spirit in individual and family counseling. Allow me to help you work through these difficult life events and get you back to what matters most.

I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to therapy and believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key to moving forward with change and progress. A client needs to feel safe and supported so they can tell their story, untangle their emotions and find a new direction to move forward. This approach is effective to help a client with whatever their issues may be. It is based on positive psychology, building on strengths and goal setting to create insight and forward movement.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience as a mental health professional. There are times when life is too hard or stressful to manage alone. Talking to a therapist can help you manage your stress, work through relationship issues, substance abuse issues and help you navigate life's many challenges.

Within my practice, my goal is to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental space for you to share thoughts and feelings openly. I will support you with navigating through anxiety, daily life stress, depression, grief, childhood trauma, life transitions or even trying to gain an understanding as to what it is you may be feeling.

Everyone at some point in their life will experience a stressor, or major life event that feels overwhelming. You may be able to resolve the crisis by yourself, but sometimes you may need additional support to get you back on the right path.

I am here to serve people of diverse backgrounds who are ready to be "unstuck" from their current "unsatisfactory" existence. One of my goals is to be that bridge to connect with all men (particularly men of color, indigenous), women, and families. My business mission statement is "To propel and ignite the inner strength within a human body for optimal wellness". Nothing less. I view my therapeutic relationship with clients as a valued partnership. The overarching goal is that we both grow within our therapeutic alliance, with the outcome of feeling rewarded, restored, renewed and Ready to EXCEL!

Please Note: I am now accepting Husky/Medicaid! The objective of my practice is to provide a dynamic transition solution, which bridges clinical and psycho-educational approaches in an effort to optimize your potential to experience recovery as both attainable and sustainable. By creating an integrated model, drawn from multiple recovery communities and orientations, I am in the unique position to provide support and planning for individuals transitioning through the recovery process. By individually tailoring your therapeutic work and maintaining consistent contact, I can assist you in creating a healthy ability to independently navigate through the wide range of all of your daily living activities.

“Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk about what “being stuck” feels like and our desire to be “normal” again! Don’t you think that sometimes life just seems to be pulling us in every direction and this makes it so difficult for us to remain present? So, here’s the opportunity to rise above your circumstances as we work towards a better and brighter future.

I assist clients who struggle with traumatic life events, dysregulation of mood and emotions, anxiety, unhealthy relationships and inappropriate boundaries and inability to problem solve or resolve conflicts to overcome their life challenges without fear and build self esteem, self efficacy and develop healthy relationships and a feeling of purpose.

Life circumstances can make us feel overwhelmed and exhausted. But you don't have to try to hold it all together, it's okay to ask for help. My focus is to be able to help you understand the underlying causes and develop new ways to deal and alleviate how your feeling.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” or “What is the meaning to all of this suffering?”? These are universal questions that we all may ponder throughout life. In my practice, I use an integrative style drawing from a number of theoretical orientations. I utilize person-centered tenets to provide a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves. I have found that the existential themes of anxiety, choice and meaning provide a framework from which we can view our daily struggles and often utilize metaphors highlighting these undertones to help clarify client’s statements.

My name is Augusta Mattar Colodette and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. My interventions are strength-based and individualized to meet your specific needs. I look at both the current challenges an individual may be facing as well as the underlying issues that may be contributing to these challenges. The focus is on strengths to make healthy decisions, to develop the solutions needed to move forward and increase self-awareness. I use creative activities that may help children and adolescents to process through their thoughts and emotions.

"Between stimulus & response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth & our freedom (Viktor E. Frankl)." Whether it is depression, anxiety, trauma or a combination of things, you can add control to your life. In my 15 + years in the field of psychology, the most successful treatment has always been about one's choices. What do you choose? Whether you are having issues with mental health or substance, it always helps to talk. Call me...

"If one has courage, nothing can dim the light that shines from within"-Maya Angelou. Too often people suffer in silence, unaware that there is help, or perhaps embarrassed to seek it. Are you tired, do you need additional ways to help with life stressors?
