Husky | CT BHP Therapists in Orange, CT

Life is complex and often overwhelming. The decision to seek counseling is a courageous step! I believe this courage stems from a desire and readiness to find more meaning in your life. Successful therapy is more than the absence of issues, but a life enriched with increased self-awareness, self-compassion and empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenge restrictive/limiting beliefs and behaviors, and forge new growth toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there is meaningful and honest connections with others, but more importantly, within oneself.

In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy didn't know she had the way back to Kansas with her all along, but she knew she had to start somewhere. The decision to begin therapy can feel like that, sometimes requiring a lot of courage. And like Dorothy in her quest to get back home, being in therapy opens up the opportunity to find something important and precious. It can help you reclaim what's been lost, or it can guide you to something new and different. It supports you in becoming free of persistent patterns and obstacles, awakening potentials you sense are there but don't know how to tap into.

I believe that kindness, respect and a little humor help us to achieve goals in life, and this goes double for therapy. Research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is the most important component of therapy, that across all types of therapy, the greatest predictor of successful therapy is an excellent therapeutic relationship. So, finding the right fit is crucial. When asked, I advise friends and family to contact a few therapists, and find the best chemistry, or fit. I advise you reading this to do the same thing.
