Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I myself have struggled with major depressive disorder and know what it is like to feel alone in the journey. I became a therapist to be a guiding support for others during their time of need.

Hello, my name is Eva my hope is to help people learn how to practice self-compassion and kindness towards themselves. I have worked with a diverse population but mainly have worked with adolescents and adults. For my younger clients I will implement play therapy techniques and even utilize video games. I use a variety of approaches but mainly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I am also trained in Polyvagal Theory.

I became a therapist because I enjoyed listening to peoples lived experiences and being a support to them as they navigated through difficult times. 

I’m a licensed professional counselor and ecotherapist committed to supporting individuals in their pursuit of healing, hope and happiness. My work focuses on self reflection, mindfulness practices and building confidence. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I am passionate about combining my counseling skills with the innate healing power of the outdoors to support overall wellbeing and wholehearted living in clients that I work with.

I became a therapist because I believe that no matter what situation you find yourself in, the negative experiences and symptoms of today do not need to limit our tomorrow!

Each individual is unique and I understand that. One-size-fits-all approaches will never help you reach full potential. You are one-of-a-kind and together we embrace your challenges and seek the best ways to navigate and move toward a healthier and happier version of you. I am trained in a wide variety of theoretical models and intervention techniques to help facilitate your becoming the best version of yourself. I am passionate about helping people identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep them from living to their fullest. Together we implement evidence based approaches based on the goals and uniqueness of you. I utilize psychotherapy, mindfulness, sport & performance skills, neurofeedback, expressive arts therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy. You don’t have to feel the same tomorrow as you do today. There are many ways in which less than ideal patterns can be changed. Find a path to a better you, no matter your age, background or history – there’s opportunity for a better you!

As a child, I wanted to be 3 things: a nurse, a teacher, or a counselor. It turns out that I don’t have the stomach for nursing and I worked for 8 years as a special education teacher, but I still felt I wasn’t really helping people.  My own family member’s struggle with mental health led me to develop a passion for helping people break the cycle of generational trauma and find healing within themselves. My current position allows me to do 2 of my favorite things — helping people heal and training good, quality therapists who can then go help even more people.  If I don’t have any openings, I do often have interns or colleagues with availability, so please do not hesitate to reach out. 

It is my sincere belief that we are all just trying to do the best we can to make it through this thing called life, and life is hard. Sometimes life’s hardships result in trauma to you or your child, which can negatively impact emotions and behaviors. If your child is having difficulty managing their emotions or behavior, or if you are an adult who is experiencing emotional or behavioral dysregulation, I can help. I’m here to help guide the journey towards healing, whether it’s healing for yourself, your child, or your whole family.

I was born to be a therapist. From a very young age, my family noticed that I was intuitive, inquisitive and always attempting to problem solve and connect with people. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to help an unimaginable number of people at a local community health clinic. I love assisting clients with becoming healthy and whole again, helping them see that they aren't alone or how they can cope with big feelings or life changes.

Hello! Welcome to my profile! I'm happy you're considering therapy and my hope is that this profile allows you a small snap shot of who I am as a therapist. I have over 9.5 years working in a community mental health clinic, focusing on mothers and women who have severe mental health issues and/or substance use. I'm passionate about being a helper and feel that everyone can benefit from therapy at any time.

Believe it or not, I stared my career as a Financial Analyst. I would volunteer at a local hospital after work and on the weekends. I would visit patients who rarely received visitors. We would do art and complete puzzles... but mostly we would talk about their experiences and discuss their mental and physical pain. For those who did have visitors, I would get to know them and their families. This experience motivated me to attend graduate school over ten years ago to become a Mental Health Counselor. Helping others comes naturally to me. Through the process of changing my career, I have also grown an affinity for helping professionals align their work with their values and cope with any challenging career/office related situations.

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships. If you are struggling with anxiety or dealing with a major event in your life, I can help. You have choices when it comes to your career, relationships, and family. I will speak with you openly about your feelings and help you to gain new perspectives and solutions. I work closely with men and women facing various challenges, including how to deal with grief, a complicated relationship, family, work, and societal problems. My approach to healing combines traditional therapies with holistic approaches, while drawing on the individual’s spiritual practices and developing new coping strategies.

My path to becoming a therapist started with a love of psychology and an eagerness to learn more about the human mind and behavior. I am fascinated by the ways in which people think, feel, and behave, and I wanted to use this knowledge to help others. From a young age, I found myself having the natural inclination to listen to and support others and wanted to use those skills to make a difference in people's lives. Becoming a therapist has been an incredibly rewarding career path, as it has allowed me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

I am a compassionate and dedicated licensed mental health professional with 20 years of experience in providing evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. I have a strong background in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and relationship issues.

Perhaps like most therapists I went into the field to help others in their times of greatest need. In my case, I was particularly concerned for individuals who “do not believe in therapy” or were discouraged by therapeutic approaches that did not “Seem to work.” In some cases, it is the process itself that can be off-putting, and I wanted to provide an approach to therapy that would feel natural. It was and is my hope that more individuals would find therapy rewarding, empowering and helpful overall.

I am a trauma-informed, licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Connecticut. I have almost ten years of post-graduate experience working with children as young as five years old, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have crisis work experience and case management experience. I’ve worked with individuals with various diagnoses. Currently, I serve clients throughout the state of Connecticut virtually and in office. I provide a warm, empathetic, strength-based approach to therapy that considers the whole person (mind, body, and spirit).

Throughout college I worked with mental health clients in supported housing. Before becoming a Psychotherapist, I was a university administrator who led a multicultural leadership program. It was there that God showed me the ability and desire to lead young men. In the past, I have served both as a youth and college minister. For a period, I also served with the Department of Homeland Security as an US Citizenship and Immigration Services Asylum Officer.

I'm Tony originally from NY. I maintain a balance between spirituality and mind. Too many times I have witnessed the harm of those that take extreme approaches. I strive to be “real” with the client and meet them where they are. I use plain language and simple examples. I encourage the client to be themselves and not put a “front.” With that said, I do not wear literal or figurative suits into sessions. I use an array of counseling methodologies. I have received training in various secular and Christian venues. I have completed training in eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDR International Association (this service is available online)

I decided to become a certified relationship coach because I believe that relationships are the foundation to a happy healthy life. When you master the skills and tools to become successful the quality of your life flourishes.

Hello I am a Relationship and Life Coach specializing in couples coaching and business for life coaching. I am also the Executive Director for ETW Therapeutic & Holistic Services where we have a team of Therapists, Psychiatric nurse practitioner, and Community Support Workers to assist you with your mental health needs.
