Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Hello and Welcome!
I have been providing behavioral health treatment to child and adolescents for five plus years. I work with individuals struggling with issues related to adjustment to divorced or split families, grief associated with death or loss, trauma symptoms, self-regulation, ADHD/impulsivity concerns, anger and aggression, depression, social anxiety, those who struggle with transitions between activities, bullying, LGBTQ+, and many more.
Prior to opening my private practice I worked for an intensive in-home program called IICAPS for three and a half years and then transitioned to the role of a school-based clinician; which I still do full time.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step towards understanding yourself and creating lasting change. Together well work to explore the challenges youre facing, and help you mover towards greater balance and fullfillment.
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to goals, growth, and stability. For eleven years I was a school counselor which highlighted the growing mental health needs. So, the past three years I have shifted my focus to private practice to help clients ages 8-40. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts in your journey, so congratulations on taking that first step and prioritizing your mental health!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hartford
Searching for therapists in Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Hartford therapists may specialize in concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Hartford, the number of nearby office options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual sessions can expand your choices while keeping local in-person care available when that format fits better. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what the therapist says you can expect from working together.
Therapy in Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway makes it easier to search for licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view real-time availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
