In Person Therapists in Meriden, CT

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work for 41 years, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness. I invite you to let me walk that journey with you.... -- Barbara

My approach is informed by the view that each of us is capable of wellness and wholeness. I believe that everyone can develop the tools and skills necessary for their own healing.

It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support. I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges that we are faced with in our everyday lives.

I am committed to being present during sessions, staying focused on achieving our goals while still meeting clients where they are in the process. I utilize a solution focused and creative approach in attempts to keep children and adolescents engaged and motivated to make changes.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

I love working with adolescents, adults, and families because I get the chance to help foster change. I believe the best approach to therapy is to use a variety of treatment modalities to think outside of the box. I use creative approaches as well as encouraging self reflection as a way to meet a client where they are. Together we will build a trusting relationship, patience and will work towards positive growth. I believe individuals should feel empowered to express their feelings in a safe and positive environment and be the best version of themselves.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again". Deciding to begin therapy can feel very intimidating. However, I offer a non-judgmental approach of working together to explore your strengths and build self confidence to identify the best path to move forward and achieve your goals.
