I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.
I hold both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.
In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.
I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.
I’m a psychotherapist and coach with nearly two decades of experience working with teens, young adults, and families. Much of my work focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and helping people navigate major life transitions, including adolescence, college, relationships, and career development.
Over the past several years, I’ve focused deeply on generational, religious, and family dynamics—especially the ways past experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and to the people closest to us. My goal is simple: to help people like each other as much as they love each other.
My approach is practical, direct, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, while also helping clients develop clear communication skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in who they are and how they want to live.
Clients who work with me can expect thoughtful conversations, honest feedback, and a focus on meaningful growth—not just symptom relief.
Hi! I have over 20 yrs of experience as a therapist and practice from a CBT perspective. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and I enjoy helping clients explore their issues, gain perspective and insight, learn new skills, and evolve through healing and personal growth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentialed in both New York and Connecticut. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2001 and have dedicated my career to helping clients overcome obstacles. I also hold a post-graduate certificates in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). By skillfully blending psychodynamic and behavioral techniques, I provide a dynamic and customized approach to healing and growth.
Hi, I'm Jessica and I love supporting youth and their families to bring out confidence and build healthy relationship patterns to support them as they grow in today's world. I have background in Expressive Arts Therapy and bring creative approaches including art, play, and drama therapy techniques as entry points into cognitive behavioral interventions and strategies to assist with behavior, emotion regulation, and understanding of one's self. My philosophical goal as a therapist is to help people I work with curate more joy into their lives and for children to be seen in their unique strengths and supported to grow through challenges. I believe that curiosity is the antidote to depression. Let's get curious together!

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.
