Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Glastonbury, CT

Hi, I’m Moe! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut and have experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, disordered eating, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.My background includes residential and outpatient mental health settings, where I’ve supported individuals working through complex emotions, challenging experiences, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and discover healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. Above all, I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their journey.

Hey all! My name is Jennifer. I’m a first-generation Latinx therapist, and I am no stranger to adversity. I specialize in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem. I’m especially passionate about supporting first-generation adults navigating anxiety, identity, family expectations, relationships, and life transitions—while also welcoming anyone who is ready to grow, heal, and make positive changes in their life.

I am an experienced behavioral health provider and health educator dedicated to treating patients with respect, dignity, and a focus on overall wellbeing, personal goals, recovery, and safety.

My professional background includes over 13 years as a nurse clinician and nurse practitioner for the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) treating adult patients. Additionally, I spent 5 years at MAAS in New Haven specializing in opioid and alcohol use disorders, and I have provided outpatient behavioral health treatment for adults of all ages at LifeBridge Community Services for over 5 years.

With two master's degrees and 10 years of clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. While my clinical background is broad, my primary focus and passion has been working with adults navigating substance use and recovery. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself—your experiences, patterns, strengths, and the beliefs that may be shaping how you navigate life.

Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be honest, vulnerable, and fully yourself. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can openly express and process your experiences while also being challenged when needed. My style is direct yet compassionate, flexible, and responsive to where you are in your journey.

Whether you are working through substance use, relationships, difficult life experiences, or simply trying to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen your sense of self, and build the tools necessary to create meaningful and sustainable change.

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Whether you're navigating a major life change, working through anxiety that feels hard to shake, or taking steps toward recovery, you don't have to do it alone. I work with people who are ready to be honest about where they are, even when that's uncomfortable. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, and start building the life you actually want.

Annette Braun, LPC, has over 13 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults. She earned her B.A. in Psychology in 2011 and her M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2013.

She specializes in the treatment of bipolar disorder, eating disorders, OCD, grief, and life adjustment concerns. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, helping clients build insight, develop coping strategies, and create lasting change. She has also contributed to the field through published research on parental psychopathy.

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.
