Therapists in Westport, CT

I work well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Our greatest challenges come during times of big life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health.

I find the therapeutic relationship the most important aspect when working with any individual and is what I value most within our work. I am a person-centered therapist, utilizing an eclectic theoretical toolbox to appreciate each person holistically and meet them in their current stage of change. My experience encompasses clients dealing with: anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, relationship conflict, school avoidance, isolation, grief/loss, trauma, psychosis, and more.

Are you in a state of emotional distress and looking for relief? Do you have persistent negative thoughts, feelings, or destructive behaviors? Has there been a traumatic event in your life that needs to be addressed? Perhaps you are facing a challenging transition in your life or career. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, and general unhappiness can be successfully treated by talk therapy. I can help you feel better and improve the quality of your life.

Much of my practice technique works to restore self esteem and dignity which are problems as a result of trauma and addiction. My personal experience is conducive to the work that takes place. I create a positive therapeutic alliance that is safe, and confidential. Addictions are treatable. Everyone can get sober, and in doing so you can live a "Quality of Life" that you deserve. Make the call and we can discuss your situation, confidentially and together make a plan to get; "Clean and Sober ". My promise to you that we can make it affordable.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important predictor to success in therapy. I provide a warm, accepting environment where I view each patient as an individual and tailor my treatment towards their strengths and needs.

Hello! I am currently working remote only. I am licensed in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Florida. I take a supportive and goal oriented approach to working with my clients. I believe that treatment should consist of not only addressing the symptoms that are causing problems in your life, but also digging deeper and gaining an understanding of the root of the challenges that you are facing.

I graduated from Lehman College before earning my Master of Social Work from the Graduate School of Social Service at Fordham University.

My areas of practice include child adolescent, individual and couples treatment as well as psycho-educational testing. Whether you have a clear idea of the help you are seeking-in depth psychotherapy- a brief consultation, a psychological evaluation-or have not yet defined your own goals, the best first step is to find a psychologist who is highly trained in more than one approach, someone with extensive experience who's humanity and good sense you can trust. A consultation can help to identify your goals and to decide what approach may be most helpful.

I am a therapist with a holistic approach focusing on how my clients’ experiences have influenced their thoughts, feelings and behaviors today.

I have extensive experience working with all ages & specialize in working with children ages 8 to 18 years old.

My goal is to combine my compassionate approach with evidence-based methods which I tailor to each individual. Through my therapeutic services, I work to build an authentic relationship not only with each child I see, but also with their family. Rather than placing your child into a predetermined box, I consider their developmental stage, and we will work collaboratively to understand their strengths and challenges and address their needs. Most importantly, I always meet each client exactly where they are on their journey.

I help individuals, couples, and families dealing with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma, life transitions, infertility and grief.
