Ilene Robbins

Ilene Robbins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Westport, CT


I’m Ilene Robbins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe meaningful change happens through connection, trust, and understanding. Clients often describe me as warm, highly perceptive and solution oriented . I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.

I work with teens, adults, professionals, parents, and couples who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — even when things appear “fine” on the outside. I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.

As both a clinician and a parent, I understand how complex relationships and emotional worlds can be. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance to my work, helping clients make sense of patterns that feel confusing or painful and move toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

You don’t need to come in with perfectly formed goals, just a willingness to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of creating meaningful, lasting change.

Jessica Chesbro

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New Milford, CT


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!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Haven

Searching for therapists in New Haven starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

New Haven has many mental health care options, but local office availability can vary by neighborhood and schedule. If in-person New Haven therapy near Fair Haven, Wooster Square, Downtown, or The Hill has limited openings, virtual sessions can expand your options with Connecticut-licensed therapists. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in New Haven can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find New Haven counseling and therapy options that match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, check cost estimates, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
