Therapists in Farmington, CT

Choices, Change, Life... I can help you get back on the right path to your new future. My clients and I work together to develop a plan that works for their goals. Stress and life management, work and career issues, grief and loss, child and adulthood trauma, anxiety and depression are all strengths of my clinical practice, Advanced Treatment Solutions. My professional training and clinical experience has helped my clients to achieve changes and improve their everyday lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. Reaching out to a “stranger” to enter your life is the hard part, my goal is to provide a safe environment where you can explore and enhance your strengths that will empower you to find strategies that support you through life’s challenges. Focus on allowing you to become the “captain” of your voyage in life and joining you in various parts of this journey. I encourage open communication and connection with those I work with. I utilize various modalities and fit the experience to each unique individual.

Hi! I'm Lauren. Listen, we all have our own "stuff" that can impact how we navigate this world. Sometimes it's complicated. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it gets in the way of living a fulfilling, satisfying life. Whatever your "stuff" may be, I'm here to support you. Stress is tough; life is complex. No matter what you've got going on, I am not here to judge you. Whether you're ready to dive into therapy or are feeling a little bit hesitant, I want to make the process worth it.

As a licensed therapist with two decades of experience, I specialize in therapeutic coaching services with a focus on guiding those who wish to call themselves and their lives back into alignment. Combining traditional therapeutic approaches with the practical aspect of coaching offers an optimal space for true expansion. I aim to help individuals align their actions with their core values, cultivate self-awareness, and nurture self-compassion.  When we learn to embrace the discomfort that is inherent being human, we open ourselves up to immense transformation because just beyond the edge of fear is what’s possible.

"You are doing the very best you can!" We enter adulthood with a lifetime of experiences-both positive and negative. Is today feeling like a replay of past trauma, relationships struggling, parenting making you feel like a failure, while the voice in your head says, "I am not enough?" My practice is based on the beliefs, “it is never too late” and “we each have infinite worth.” The quality of our early relationship with our caregivers, repeats without our awareness. Our past need not define our present. You are worthy of finding comfort within a secure, therapeutic relationship. Together we can explore and discover healing.

Are you seeking to live more authentically? Just by being here, is the first step to making this change within your life. I would be happy to be the clinician to join you on that journey. I might be a Marriage and Family therapist, who believes in the power of systemic thinking, but you are the expert on your life. Together we can combine our strengths to best support you reach your goals.

Healing Hearts, Healing Lives LLC is a practice that specializes in women, children and adolescents. I am very passionate about helping individuals work through life's challenges and I understand that in order to work through difficulty, there must be trust and emotional safety. I provide a safe space in which we can work together to begin to understand the unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior that have you feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

Are you feeling stuck, worn down by life's challenges? Are you exhausted by the day to day, wondering what the point of all of this is? Has life recently come at you so fast you've lost track of where you're going? Maybe you find yourself on auto pilot, disconnected from the people and things you love most. Have you sought comfort in quick fixes that leave you feeling more lost and hopeless? You're not alone, so many people have found themselves in circumstances that leave them feeling drained and without purpose or fulfillment. Wandering the world day to day searching for joy and connection. I'm here to help.

Are you ready to forgive yourself and others who have significantly impacted your life? Through learning to forgive you can deepen your awareness of what may prevent you from having more joy, love, and peace in your life. When you are not ready to forgive you can easily get stuck in a cycle of depression, anger, fear and anxiety. We all have innate wisdom and knowing that allows us to heal from any trauma or difficult life experience. Therapy is about coming to understand and know you have basic goodness as a human being. I will help you connect with that inner wisdom and knowing to create more meaning and purpose in your life.

Your life experiences are powerful and, at times, they can also be painful. We will work together to better understand how past experiences may be impacting the present, how current stressors might be affecting you, and what might be helpful for a brighter future. As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in working with clients of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other mental health difficulties. I also work with people experiencing life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, chronic health conditions, and individuals wanting to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills is an evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated learners who are interested in: making and keeping friends, navigating social interactions, having get-togethers, managing conflicts and rejection, and developing romantic relationships. Participants are taught social skills through didactic lessons and role-play demonstrations. They are given the opportunity to practice these skills while receiving individualized coaching from us.

I have a passion for working with those who are motivated to make change and create their best versions of themselves. I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with issues in their lives around anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I am committed to creating a space with you where you feel safe to be able to explore all parts of you, improve your relationships with others in your life, and create your best self!

I work with individuals, couples, and families who struggle with issues related to anxiety, depression, and addictions.

I believe within each of us is a powerful energy we can use to expand our lives. In moving beyond our limiting beliefs and the places where we get stuck, we open to our potential. Learning to manage our thoughts and emotions consciously, from a place of alignment with our values, allows us to identify and express the best version of us more consistently. It is just a matter of time before our external world begins reflecting these internal changes.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with substantial clinical and school-based experience who provides therapeutic treatment to children and adolescents (ages 6-19) experiencing personal challenges impacting their relationships, self-efficacy and overall daily functioning.

Welcome! I created The Harmony Center for Change, so that you would have a place where you feel understood and seen. As a sensitive individual, I can understand how our environment can be invalidating in so many different ways. I want you to know that your emotions and experiences matter. We all have an inner wisdom and as part of the therapeutic process you will learn to trust your experiences. We believe in authenticity and the ability to honor it, while learning skills to change behaviors that are no longer serving us. I have recently discovered a greater purpose in life and I want to share the Good News with you.
