Male Therapists in Mansfield Center, CT

As a couple and family therapist my approach views family, intimate partner and peer relationships as the foundation of our well-being. Our relationships shape how we view ourselves and influence future relationships. Depression, anxiety and general distress often occur as a result of strained relationships in our lives. I work with individuals, couples and families to identify the important stories which shape our understanding of ourselves and our relationships. Progress is achieved through gaining insights into our vulnerabilities and overcoming our defenses to create a positive environment for relationship intimacy to develop.

Everyone needs someone to talk to, whether it's a family member, friend, spiritual leader, or someone else with whom you feel connected. If you've ever felt better after getting something off your chest, then you know what I mean. Therapy is often a place where we are free to share and explore the issues that challenge most of us at one time or another: relationships (romantic, family, etc.), stress, life transitions, parenting, anxiety, and more. My approach is one that respects where you are in your process, building the therapeutic relationship to help you move forward.

ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty years of experience in the mental health field. I have a diverse background that ranges from providing administrative oversight and consultation to clinical programs and staff, to working in private practice treating adults and couples of all ages with various therapeutic needs. My experience has allowed me to gain a vast understanding and empathy of the effects of mental health issues on individuals and their lives.

I am a board-certified addiction medicine physician specializing in medication for opioid use disorder ("MOUD") and associated problems. My individualized private practice offers personalized one-on-one telehealth meetings in the comfort and safety of your own environment. I offer state-of-the-art treatment modalities such as digital therapeutics and evidence-based prescription medication. I hold medical licenses in California, Connecticut and New York where I see folks in need of my services via a secure, encrypted, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Please visit www.TeleBup.com for more information about how I can help you.

Accept New Clients. My approach is that of a collaborative/consultative nature; every individual has had their own trials and tribulations, and everyone their story to tell. Together clients and I find their pathways to peace and the means to remain on that path. I work with: children, adolescents, adults, students of all ages, and persons from all professions.

At any given time we are doing the best we know. As a therapist, my work helps each client to experience and explore themselves honestly as they are. By helping to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental climate, I assist you to transform old patterns from the inside out.

It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present, your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you can improve your mental well-being. I empower clients to gain the skills needed to reach their goals, understand and regulate their emotions, and improve mindfulness and acceptance through a nonjudgmental and collaborative approach. I treat clients with Depression, Anxiety and Panic related disorders, PTSD, Individual and Family transitions, Relationship Issues, Grief and loss, Substance use, Dual Diagnosis, Intrusive Symptoms, and Severe and Persistent Mental Illness.

Kindness. Letting Go. Acceptance. Patience. Trust. Peace. If these words resonate with you, you may benefit from an approach like mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy. With this approach you can practice being kind and accepting towards yourself, including your thoughts and feelings, while at the same time working towards understanding and changing any unhelpful beliefs, habits, or situations in your life. Modern life, with all its stress and busyness and commotion, seems to combine with our individual challenges, difficulties, and burdens to push our human minds and bodies past the point of health and wellness.

I'm a Licensed Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist with over 30 years experience. I see families and individuals of all ages providing a personal, pragmatic and supportive approach in addressing life's difficulties. My philosophy is solution-focused care utilizing a goal-directed approach. I recognize that each individual and family is unique and I attempt to provide the most appropriate services on an individual basis.

Welcome to creating positive change in your life. My goal is to help you identify the issues that have been the most challenging, and helping you work towards finding solutions that will move you towards achieving a more fulfilling life. Feel free to contact me via email or phone call so that we can discuss how I may be of help to you. Help is available. You have only to embrace it with hope, and a willingness to move forward with your life.

I understand that we can benefit from help if we feel stuck, overwhelmed or not sure where to turn. Sometimes people get stuck in patterns that may have been helpful but have become limiting or even destructive. I believe therapy can provide deep healing which allows for greater flexibility, ease, self knowledge and enjoyment of life. With 20+ years of experience, I have been successful in helping my clients through depression, substance abuse, anxiety, panic and grief and loss or just gaining more satisfaction with their lives. It has been an honor for me to do this.

Choosing a therapist to help guide you on your life's journey can be difficult. Congratulations on taking this step! With nearly 30 years of clinical experience I have come to believe that it is the relationship between therapist and client that supports client growth and change. I provide a gentle, challenging approach to guide your journey in identifying, understanding and actualizing your goals. My areas of specialty include trauma and loss, grief work, men's issues and those challenges associated with aging and retirement. I accept most major insurance companies and sliding fees are available if needed.
