Marriage Counseling Therapists in Middletown, CT
It may be a job, it may be marriage, parenthood, grief or perhaps some unresolved issues from the past.
Daytime openings! We are all constantly changing. We may have already accomplished goals in our lives, yet are at a crossroads again. This time, we may wish to seek help, whether it’s to develop a goal, figure out what may be a little “off” in our life or maybe some direction with some heavier challenges. I specifically have experience working with substance use disorders, infant mental health and parent-child attachment. I've been trained in Infant Mental Health, Risking Connection, Seeking Safety as well as Circle of Security, but have worked with many individuals and families with varying reasons that brought them to therapy.

Currently only have weekday/daytime availability. Are you feeling lost, down or anxious? Do you feel stuck or that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead? Maybe you're struggling with a major life transition such as graduating college, marriage, pregnancy, infertility, or life as a new mom. Throughout life we are faced with many changes and new situations that can be difficult to tackle on our own. Sometimes we need guidance from an unbiased person but asking for help can be a scary and overwhelming task. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to meet you where you are at and help you uncover your true potential.

Being a Marital & Family Therapist, and coming from a large family myself, I am familiar with the complex and often challenging dynamics that families have. Want those holidays to be more pleasant? I get it. I want to help people to improve their relationships by guiding them to a clearer understanding and acceptance of themselves and others. My experiences with grief and loss have made me well aware of the challenges these present when we lose someone we love. I welcome and enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. Humor plays a large role in both my practice and life.

Starting therapy is a challenging decision as we typically feel that we should manage things on our own. However, you realize that your symptoms are worsening. You may notice that it's interfering with your performance at school/work. You are having more difficulties getting out of bed and/or you may be overwhelmed by everything going on. You start realizing that now you are avoiding the things you used to do because it gives you temporary relief from your anxiety. I would like to help you explore the underlying causes and provide you with tools to enjoy what's important to you.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
