Family therapy and counseling in New Haven, CT

I specialize in mental health needs of the BIPOC (black, indigenous people of color) community. I provides therapy to people who are facing depression, anxiety, traumatic events, racism, death and dying, chronic illness, loss and grief, abuse, violence, and acculturation. I also facilitate specialized support groups associated to workplace trauma.

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.

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.

Hi, I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Florida. My personal experiences have deeply shaped the way I approach therapy and the kind of space I strive to create for clients. I know firsthand that healing and growth are rarely linear, and that support looks different for everyone. Because of that, I don’t believe therapy should feel rigid or “one size fits all.”

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in genuine human connection. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale a little, show up authentically, and talk openly about both the heavy things and the everyday moments that still matter. Yes, I absolutely want to hear about your stressful week, your latest life spiral, and how your pets are doing too. Alongside the deeper work, I believe there is real value in feeling comfortable enough to be fully yourself in session.

I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, stressors, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools, emotional insight, and confidence that feel sustainable outside of therapy. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more capable of navigating life with clarity, self-trust, and compassion.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page.
