Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I own an LGBTQ and poly-friendly private group practice for holistic marriage and family therapy with a specialization on preschoolers, children, teens, and young adults. I am open 7 days a week and have late evening appointments. On a side note, I am also a 500 hour registered yoga therapist, so I enjoy offering mediation, breathing, yoga poses, and holistic techniques into my practice for PTSD/trauma healing. I offer an out-of-the-box approach using creative art, yoga, music, animals, and outdoor walking therapies for wellness and coping skills. I also offer phone and distance video sessions to residents of CT or international residents. I am considered an out-of-network provider. What that means is that payment in full is due at the time of your session and then you may seek potential reimbursement from your insurance. I’ve had clients that receive 100% reimbursement and some that have no benefits. You can also use a HSA or FSA card for services. I am happy to walk you through this process.

I work with families, teens, and adults of any culture, ethnicity, size, race, religious group, orientation, or gender identity. One of my goals as a therapist is to help you feel comfortable in your own skin. In addition to polyam clients, I work with many other diverse groups including members the LGBTQQ community and size-diverse people. I often work with families and individuals around issues such as coming out, dealing with the end of a relationship, recovering from complex trauma, or living with a chronic illness. My office is fully accessible to people living with disabilities.

Fees: I offer a brief, free telephone consultation to help us both evaluate whether I am the right therapist for you.

Please ask about current fees and insurance coverage when you contact me, as these may change.

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression because of a stressful event or difficult changes in your life? Is your relationship under stress? I can help you adjust to challenging life transitions. Life events like divorce, breakups and job loss can be hard to recover from without the appropriate support. Even welcomed life changes can create stress and overwhelm, such as, having a new baby, starting college, or entering retirement.

Working together, we will determine the importance of social support, ways to find meaning during this life transition and how to increase your coping skills and self-esteem. If you are dealing with stress I can share with you relaxation training and techniques and show you how mindfulness can reduce stress.

Using a collaborative approach, we will work towards discovering your hidden strengths while developing healthy goals. I will help you to move forward at a pace that works for you. Please contact me to discuss how I might be able to help you get started on the path to healing and living your best life. - Does phone consultation

The impact of collective, historic and public events on lives marginalized by dominant cultures often goes unrecognized. Especially for women, LGBT and queer-identified people, people of color and other people marginalized by dominant power paradigms, the body is often a site of cultural dislocation. By working directly with the cultural messages and lessons that have been integrated, often unconsciously, onto the body and psyche, we can begin to create new stories, meanings and choices about being members of our communities and cultures. In my psychotherapy practice I work with people of all genders in the exploration of relationships to the self, to others, and to the communities in which we live. I have extensive experience working with queer, genderqueer, activist, and multicultural communities, queer parents and prospective parents, as well as kink/BDSM and poly communities, and the spaces where these identities overlap. I also teach queer and multicultural psychology and supervise students beginning their clinical fieldwork.

I work with clients who are from any or all of the following groups: polyamorous/non-monogamous, BDSM/kinky, LGBTQQIA, geeky, and alternative spirituality and/or atheist.

Are you tired of looking for a therapist who “gets it”? It can be infuriating to have to take the time to explain who you are to someone who may pathologize you, treat you like a novelty, or avoid talking about the relationships, behaviors, and events that are important to you.

You don’t have to separate your personal and social justice values from your desire for compassionate support. You can finally have what you have been looking for.

As a feminist therapist, I support your progressive values and celebrate the unique ways you express your gender or choose to live and love in your body. I can see your strengths as well as your challenges. This can make it easier to build trust, so you can focus on your goals and personal growth.

Even though you have a deep sense of comfort and familiarity with each other, you and your partner(s) aren’t sure how to communicate emotions and needs, especially during stressful times. You recognize strengths in the relationship, and you need additional support in problem-solving in these new, uncharted experiences. You may have also had a breach of trust and you’re stuck in knowing how to repair it. And sometimes your trauma memories resurface, which leaves you feeling confused or frustrated.

I help partners/couples of all ages who feel overwhelmed and stuck to navigate difficult conversations. My relationship clients talk about caregiving partners with chronic illness, how to meaningfully connect as death approaches, adjusting to changing roles in cross-cultural and bilingual multifamily relationships, getting unstuck in the same communication patterns, exploring newly realized sexualities and gender identities, and how to support their veteran transition to civilian life.

My clients learn over time in a non-judgmental setting to find solutions, communicate emotions and needs with empathy, repair broken trust, and utilize their own strengths for discovering new ways to reconnect. There won’t be worksheets, but there will be talks about attachment, grief, and there will be humor even in the midst of pain.

I’m queer identified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and polyamory/non-monogamy, trans, and kink/BDSM knowledgeable and affirming. I’m trained in trauma-informed hospice grief counseling and all aspects of grief/loss, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic/mindfulness practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Currently, I’m prioritizing families (however you define family) and couples/partners relationships. My clients typically come to see me weekly for consistent support as we get to know each other. Let’s start with a free 15-minute video consultation. Thank you!

On the spectrum of therapists being all head to all heart, I consider myself right in the middle. I will be warm, caring and nurturing as well as challenge you and call you on your stuff.

Definitions may be fluid, nonexistent, or to-be-determined–counseling is a space in which to address these questions, along with any others that my clients consider to be meaningful. My other specialties are domestic violence work (with offenders and victims), wedding and commitment ceremony officiating, writing-as-healing workshops, and vocational testing and counseling.
