Hello, I’m Cara, a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in social work. My approach is warm, down‐to‐earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and use practical, evidence‐based tools like coping strategies, mindset shifts, and boundary work. I make space for humor and real connection, combining these skills with deeper exploration of patterns, self‐compassion, and emotional insight to support lasting, meaningful change.

Alexis Austin

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


With over 5 years of experience as a therapist (including my time as an LMSW), I've worked with a wide range of people across all stages of life. So much of the work I do happens at a threshold — that space between where someone has been and where they're trying to go. Maybe you're in the middle of a life transition that's left you feeling lost. Maybe you and your partner keep circling the same argument. Maybe you're a woman who's spent so long caring for everyone else that you've lost track of your own needs. Or maybe your family feels stuck in patterns everyone can feel but no one can quite name. Whether I'm working with an individual, a couple, or a family, my goal is to help clients find their voice, strengthen their relationships, and build a life that feels grounded and intentional. I offer a collaborative, insight-oriented space where clients can explore what's holding them at that threshold and find their way through it.

Marina Avetisova

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am a licensed mental health counselor, with a focus on addiction and substance use. In 2018, I graduated from Pace University with my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling. Within the last several years, I have worked in a hospital setting, helping treat psychiatric decompensation along with drug or alcohol relapse. Having both the experience of inpatient and outpatient settings, I have gained a thorough understanding for the spectrum which mental health illnesses are demonstrated.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges who are tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns. Many are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed internally, questioning why change feels so difficult despite their best efforts. They aren't looking for quick fixes—they want to better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and create lasting change.
