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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience. I have a Doctorate in Social Work. I have focused primarily on working with children, adolescents, and their families throughout my career. For me, therapy is a collaborative process and we will work together to accomplish your goals. Anything is possible, sometimes we just need help to get things jump-started.
Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.
My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
- With 30 years of experience in behavioral health, I am an LICSW licensed in MA, CT, and RI. I hold a Master's Degree from Columbia University. My expertise includes providing evidence-based treatment and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to adults and couples.
We are designed for movement . What IS movement ? I have devoted over 35 years to helping others go to the next step: allowing movement to occur. Movement can be as nuanced and magnificent as a shift ! With my experience and expertise as a Theatre Movement Specialist I support people to employ their intelligence of mind and body, and when ready, to let go of “the stuck” and experience change. I bring a holistic approach to the human existence through examination of meaning, personal responsibility , values, freedom , human potential, spirituality and self actualization.
Therapy should feel both supportive and empowering, and that is exactly what I work to create. I am a licensed clinical social worker who brings a warm, empathetic presence to every session, so that you can explore your experiences without judgment.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges exacerbated by systems of oppression, personal and professional relationships, or unhelpful patterns. You may simply be craving peace, joy, and fulfilling relationships with others. Regardless of what is bringing you to treatment, we can develop a plan to meet your individual goals.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, I bring to the table a wide range of experiences and perspectives. I strongly believe this enables me to help individuals improve their quality of life. My first career was in business, and I am passionate about helping professionals move forward in their careers. My clinical career started in the military, where I began to understand commitment and discipline. I put all of this into my approach to Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
Hi, I’m Dr. Dani...and I’ll be honest with you from the start: I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can finally exhale. With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, my background spans crisis intervention, family systems, and culturally responsive care.
I have a particular heart for women and couples who are carrying a lot... navigating stress, relationships, and life transitions...and doing it often without anyone really seeing them.
That changes here.
It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hamden
Finding therapists in Hamden starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
Hamden is a smaller city near New Haven, so your local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can add more choice while keeping care connected to licensed therapists in Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Hamden can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your plan is verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
