Psychodynamic Therapists in East Hartford, CT

I am a psychologist with over 30 years of experience treating adolescents and women. My approach is eclectic, including training in psychodynamic and Jungian therapy. I am especially challenged by and have had success in working with people experiencing "developmental crises" at different stages of life. My approach is systemic (i.e., I work with families, schools, etc. In addition to working with clients who are physically healthy, I have specialized training and experience working with people coping with medical issues, as well as with families where a member is suffering from a chronic or terminal illness.

Like many journeys, therapy begins with where you are now, factors in where you have been, and builds a plan for where you want to go. It is a collaborative process. You are the expert on your life and with the right supports in place, you can discover your strengths and begin the healing process. I have found a diverse therapeutic approach to be most effective in assisting my clients coping with life challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief, parenting and anger management. This approach utilizes my training in psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, solution focused and mindfulness techniques.

One of the few constants in life is change. If you are in a period of transition you may be feeling confused, anxious, or depressed, and alone with your struggles. Times of transition may include: Divorce, educational or career changes, changing stages in our children's or parent's lives, tackling addictions, issues of grief and/or loss. Transitions, while challenging and often stressful, with good professional support can be opportunities for true personal growth and transformation. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and confidential place for us to explore together how best to help you to feeling better.

Hi, my name is Alexis Mohammed and you've made the decision to better your overall mental wellbeing. Change is very scary, but you don't have to do it alone. I am here to facilitate the change you've longed for. As uncomfortable as the process may be, we will work towards your desired goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping individuals manage their depression, anxiety, and other various life stressors. I believe that all my clients are equipped to create a purposeful life for themselves. I am here to assist you with utilizing your strengths.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep passion for helping individuals improve their quality of life. My experience in the helping profession has provided me with an advantage to see and understand the unique perspectives of diverse populations. My work has included families, children, adolescents, and adults in the community and health institutions. I have experience with serious mental illnesses, substance abuse treatment, chronic illnesses, and end of life (death and dying). My current focus is with the adult population.

We all experience difficulties in life that challenge us, and perhaps even throw us off on our journey. Perhaps we feel stagnant with where we are in life right now. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, life changes, or women's issues, you don't need to struggle alone. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to bring awareness to your inner strengths to better navigate through this phase of your life.

I understand that 'alcohol and other drugs'...(cocaine, marijuana, opiates/painkillers, etc.) as well as relationships, money, food, work, technology, sex, etc. are merely dysfunctional band-aids to avoid the pain of inner woundedness. My therapeutic approach offers a deeper awareness of symptomatic addictions by providing the client with the 'space' and permission to explore the self-damage from these harmful 'toxins' and then learn the practice of thought and feeling detoxification. I can support my clients with 20+ years of relapse prevention therapy and techniques to replace the obsessive thinking with positive and self-affirming behaviors.

Hello! Welcome to HealThy Soul Clinical Services.@ Hstavislmft@Gmail.Com. A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. People often seek therapy because they have become stuck. They can feel lost or trapped within their relationships, hurt from past traumas or even confused by repetitive unhealthy patterns in their lives. A parent may need help understanding their children and the struggles they may be experiencing.

The beginning of personal change is knowing that a different experience is available. This is the seed of hope. The therapeutic experience is a collaboration between two individuals who both bring rich experience and knowledge into a therapeutic relationship. The situation that we find ourselves in is not our destiny. By choosing to participate in therapy, you are moving in the direction of creating the life you want to live.

I enjoy working with all people to help find what works best for you personally. I have a very down to earth approach and I'm all about identifying and using your own strengths to solve issues; fostering and building empowerment; and moving past shame and self criticism. Therapy is different for each person depending on your needs, preferences, and goals. And for each person the experience should be judgement free, safe, and understanding, which is crucial. I have been practicing through the lens of constant anti racism and anti oppression training, which I also place the utmost importance on.

There are times we may feel overwhelmed and burdened by life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties or stress from a current situation, therapy can be extremely helpful. I seek to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment to promote personal growth and self exploration.

I know what it is like to live in a psychological prison, trying to "stay strong" while repeating the narrative "I'm ok!". You don't have to go on this journey alone. The common thread amongst all clientele is a desire for positive change. At times one may need a helping hand to guide them on their journey in a therapeutic, environment. Seeking guidance is a courageous first step to wholeness and lasting change.
