Self-Harming Therapists in Willimantic, CT

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.

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.
