Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Hamden, CT

One of the great values of obtaining therapy is to experience for oneself the great value of positive support. I strongly believe in meeting my clients where they are, and providing a supportive and non-judgemental environment. I 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.

It can be difficult to ask for help, so let me start by congratulating you by taking the first steps in addressing your happiness and mental health. Your emotional health is very important and has an impact on your overall well-being. For far too long, stigma and fear of judgement has prevented people (especially people of color) from engaging in MH therapy.

You are worthy of so much more than just survival. I work collaboratively with clients with the goal of reducing suffering, empowering, and promoting self-love and acceptance. The world around us can make that difficult, teaching us that we are not enough as we are. With a background in women's, gender, and sexuality studies, as well as a graduate focus in LGBTQIA+ mental health, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ populations, adolescents, young adults, and their families, complex and developmental trauma, and those who experience depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

I will not pretend to have the answers to your problems, but by taking a team approach we can get you to a place where you can achieve the results you are looking for. I love working with pre-teens, adolescents and young adults that suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and just feel lost in the everyday mandate day to day of life. Women that feel that they have no voice in society. People who feel disconnected from their family of origin and would like to reconnect, parents that want a closer bond with their children.

My training and interests center on attachment, trauma, and challenges around pregnancy and birth. Events at this time along with the enduring traces of the past can have powerful effects on later relationships and the emotional health of adults and children. I work help relationships get off to a good start or back on track and to unravel the enduring effects of the past on experiences in the present. I believe that the relationship with your therapist is the springboard for change and I strive to create a sensitive, supportive, and thoughtful atmosphere in which this can blossom.

Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic.

Hello, my name is Nicole Wetmore and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut who provides individual psychotherapy to adults (18+) both virtually and in-person.  I received my Master's Degree from Southern Connecticut State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.

I am interested in helping you navigate challenges in your life, explore the root cause of any difficulties, and increase joy in your everyday life. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, life events (such as loss, grief, or illness), interpersonal conflicts, stress, etc., I believe in walking with you on your journey and creating personalized treatment and coping strategies.

At Nutmeg Counseling, we focus on helping you work through what you're going through. It could be anxiety, depression, substance use, or anything else that is going on in your life that you need help with. We work with you to figure out where you are having challenges that you would like to work on, then we work with you to come up with a plan to meet your goals. We offer counseling for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse, and other behavioral or emotional health issues. We work with individuals (children, teens, and adults), couples, and families.

I'm a Counseling Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Licensed Addictions Counselor, and a Forensic Psychologist. I have spent my career working in child welfare and with complex trauma survivors. I specialize in treating Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. Clinical treatment approaches are based on Person-Centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Disorders, Traumatology, and Emotion Effect Regulation. You must be committed to changing your life and doing the work required. If not, psychotherapy will not be effective, I assist you in doing the work which is required for symptom reduction.

I believe that "a difference to be a difference, must make a difference". I have spent most of my adult life working with people to make things different. I got my PhD in Psychology from Yale University and received a diverse training - from children and adolescents to adults and veterans. Many people at times need a listener, someone to help them figure things out, someone to help them change. I try my best to be that person. Prior to my psychology training, I was a physical therapist - and I hope that my awareness of illness and handicaps adds a dimension to my work as needed

I aim to help adults overcome challenges that make everyday life feel chaotic. My practice is dedicated to equipping these individuals with tools to learn effective coping strategies and build lives that feel meaningful.

I am a warm, straightforward therapist focused on providing effective treatment. I work to connect genuinely with each of my patients because I believe the first component of effective treatment is the formation of a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. With this relationship as the foundation, we can then collaboratively determine your goals and take measurable steps to achieving the change you want in your life. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, sexual and gender identity, suicidality, emotion regulation, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship problems, family issues, academic and occupational stress, and life transitions.
