Attachment-based Therapists in Glastonbury, CT

When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free. Whether it's poor relationships, anxiety, depression, substance or process addictions, trauma, or a desire to deepen their connection with others, I help my clients find strength, flexibility, and compassion, returning themselves to the feeling of being whole.

Accepting new clients. Getting support on life’s journey can be an integral part of one’s healing and growth. Looking for help can sometimes seem challenging and overwhelming, but can also be one of the bravest things you do for yourself. Everyone needs support at one point or another and allowing me to be the bridge for that healing is my pleasure and honor. I believe everyone has the ability and resiliency to get through difficult periods in their lives and want to help you learn the skills and support you in your own personal journey. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Are you always on the go, working and taking care of everyone? Do you feel overwhelmed and wish you could take more time for yourself? But the guilt you feel when you try to say no to people is too much, so you keep saying yes. You’re constantly busy and feel burned out. Do you feel disconnected from your friends, family, and partner? Like you’re running on empty because you support others but you’re missing the support you need. And now you feel on-edge, irritable, like you can settle yourself. Or you have no motivation, feel drained and checked out. I know how you feel because I’ve been there.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, women's issues, and anxiety. How old were you when you started trying to control your body? How long have you turned to food for comfort? Or found comfort in self-restraint? It’s exhausting, and likely you’re here because a part of you wants relief from this endless cycle that’s taking you away from your life. Can it be okay to listen to that part of you? To trust your inner knowing that you deserve to live a life feeling at ease with food and unashamed of your body?

Accepting new clients! There are many reasons to seek therapy, each individual has different experiences, struggles, and goals. I’m here to support you in identifying and addressing your specific needs. Therapy can seem intimidating, but my gentle and supportive approach ensures that you feel heard, understood, and respected. The therapeutic relationship allows space for self-reflection while also helping to ground and validate your experiences. My favorite clients to work with are those that are seeking to take control of their life and to face it with a new sense of calm and confidence.

I bring years of education, training and experience to my therapy practice as a licensed clinical psychologist. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, community mental health clinics, domestic violence support centers and college counseling centers. I am experienced in treating mental health challenges that range from mild adjustment concerns to chronic and severe mental illness. This means I have many treatments, tools, skills and ideas to offer you in our work together. However, I believe you are the expert in your life and I will take your lead.

I work with clients who are working through PTSD, depression, anxiety, and attachment injuries from betrayal and other relational traumas. I treat those with chronic illness issues, family estrangement, and post-cultic deconstruction.

Life comes at us in waves of change. Some are predictable and gentle, while others seem to come out of nowhere and knock us completely off balance. Fears may arise about our future, or past trauma might bubble to the surface of our awareness. Confusion, anxiety and depression are normal responses to shifting insights, losses and transitions in life. Relationships can become challenging to navigate, especially when the waves keep coming at us. I will join you right where you are at, to help you catch your breath and establish stable footing so you can forge a path toward wholeness and wellness.

I believe in the power each client has within themselves to use problems as opportunities to heal old wounds and release negative self-beliefs. I accept my clients exactly where they are, excited to journey with them toward enhanced consciousness and their authentic self. Feeling heard and validated are important aspects of my client relationships.

Christian Haupt is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) who holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Marist College in New York. He uses a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to help clients heal from past events, support them through ongoing stressors, and collaborate with people seeking personal growth and improving their well-being. With his background of working with individuals from various backgrounds and identities, he tailors his counseling approach to address the unique needs of every client.

With 20 years’ experience, my core assumption is that each of us has the innate capacity to do all of the following:  feel happy; form close and satisfying relationships with others; manage situations effectively; make good decisions; and even heal from trauma and loss.  However, sometimes that innate capacity gets blocked.  That is when we run into emotional or behavioral problems.  It is my job to help you understand what is blocking your own innate capacity so those blocks can dissolve.

With an engaging, dynamic & empathetic approach, I can help you more effectively manage anxiety, depression, trauma issues, or relationship/family conflicts that effect daily functioning. Loss, infertility & parenting a child with a learning/physical impairment can be overwhelming and feel endlessly frustrating for many people. Together, we can work toward healing, thriving, and achieving a higher quality of life. Working toward a healthy life balance is challenging, yet rewarding for my clients with an accepting & interactive approach. If you'd like, my certified emotional support dog, Colby, is available to help too!

If you are ready to take a courageous step into healing, I am ready to help you. I support individuals, couples and families overcome feelings of incompetence, depression, anxiety and trauma. Our work together will be hard work, but I will help you explore the root causes of your struggles so that you and/or your family members will not continue the same dysfunctional patterns. You will learn new ways to manage life stress and strengthen your relationships. Our work will empower you and help you know yourself in a deeper, more fulfilling way, bringing you more peace, joy and life satisfaction.

Managing life experiences and emotions can be difficult. Our daily lives, whether it be work, school or family are opportunities to connect, learn and grow. Do you know how to make the most of these experiences?

I enjoy working with people of all ages. The broad range of developmental challenges invites me to creatively collaborate to address whatever may be impeding the ability to fully engage in and enjoy life. Whether it is a difficult transition, a temporary stressor, a "sensitive" temperament, a current or historic trauma or whatever internal or external disruption, finding ways to optimize how one approaches and copes is my primary focus.
