Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Fairfield, CT covered by United Healthcare

Hi, I’m Dr. Tracy LaChapelle, MA, LPC, LCPC, Ed.D ("Dr. T"). ***Any usage of “Dr.” and “Doctor” is for the purpose of being a Licensed Clinical Therapist: Not a medical doctor; does not prescribe medication.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard,

understood, and accepted for who they are. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can share your story, explore your experiences, and feel comfortable being your authentic self.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, including autistic individuals and those with ADHD, as well as adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, communication challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, or overwhelm. My practice is gender-inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming.

My approach is practical, collaborative,

and tailored to each individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all way to be a person, partner, or neurodivergent individual. Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, communicate your needs, navigate differences, and build healthier, more meaningful relationships.

I also provide specialized self-pay couples therapy for ADHD, autistic, and mixed-neurotype couples. My couples therapy focuses specifically on neurodivergence within relationships, including understanding differences in communication, emotional regulation, needs, and relationship patterns.

Coverage and eligibility for INDIVIDUAL sessions are determined by Headway and your insurance health plan.

Outside of therapy, you'll often find me spending time with my dog, enjoying outdoor activities, or cooking.

I’m a Board-Certified Clinical Social Worker with Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology from The New School and Clinical Social Work from Fordham University. I work with adults across the lifespan and from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients and older adults. I frequently help people with anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, grief, self-esteem, caregiving, health changes, loneliness, retirement, and major life transitions. My training includes CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, CPT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based and integrative approaches.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I believe that we are always one decision away from living the exact life that we want! I am a first-generation Haitian-American graduate from SUNY Albany & Stony Brook University. I've worked in the mental health field for 12 years and still find myself energized by the stories of my incredibly brave clients. In my practice, I help first generation Women of Color break free from rescuing others and give them tangible tools to begin healing themselves through daily practice.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, career and life transitions, grief, and questions of identity and purpose — whether that's a 20-something rethinking their path, someone reassessing a career after years in it, or an older adult navigating retirement, caregiving, or the shifts that come with later life. My approach is collaborative and grounded: you'll leave sessions with more clarity than you came in with, not just more to think about.

I came to this work after a first career in banking. I understand the pressure, identity, and burnout that come with corporate life firsthand — and what it takes to actually rebuild around what matters to you, whatever stage of life or career you're in. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva University.

I understand that the decision to seek help for mental health needs can be a nerve-racking and scary process. When it comes to patient care, I am most passionate about the preservation of dignity and making my patients feel seen. I meet fear or nervousness with acceptance, encouragement, and knowledge.
