Family therapy and counseling in Southbury, CT

Hello, I’m Cara, a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in social work. My approach is warm, down‐to‐earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and use practical, evidence‐based tools like coping strategies, mindset shifts, and boundary work. I make space for humor and real connection, combining these skills with deeper exploration of patterns, self‐compassion, and emotional insight to support lasting, meaningful change.

Hi, y'all,

I bring 17 years of experience and believe firmly that nothing shifts in the therapeutic space unless clients feel seen and connected to their clinician.

I am warm and direct, personable and challenging. I move through my life with curiosity and wonder at the natural world and the power of relationships.

I love swimming in fresh water, non-fiction books, spending time with my teenagers and hanging out in my gardens. I specialize in sexual and gender identity and look forward to building relationships with people that are motivated to move forward, begin healing and expanding their world.

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.

Life can sometimes feel heavy, confusing, or simply different than you expected. There are moments when we feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of what comes next. Therapy can offer a place to pause, breathe, and feel supported without judgment.

I believe you deserve a space where you can be yourself, tell your story, and feel genuinely heard. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I meet you where you are and work alongside you to better understand what you're experiencing, build on the strengths you already have, and find ways to move forward.

Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Welcome! I’m Tameko, and I’m thrilled to invite you on a transformative journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. In our work together, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your struggles, allowing you to see your challenges in a new light. Therapy is not just about addressing pain; it’s also about equipping you with valuable skills to enhance your self-confidence and resilience. I’m committed to providing a supportive environment where we can collaboratively explore these aspects, empowering you to break through barriers and build a more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Connecticut, and I work with individuals, families, and couples using relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy. We will explore how you can build greater confidence and self-esteem. You will develop new skill sets to process anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. I work with individuals including children, teens, couples, and families to explore and treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, college preparedness, OCD, family conflict, court/legal process, life transitions, and trauma.

Hello, I am Linda an LCSW who graduated from Columbia University in 1999. I Love what I do and consider myself a “people person” which makes my job so enjoyable. I have completed thousands of assessments and am goal oriented. Over the past 25 years I have worked with almost every population but do not consider myself a know-it-all, I still have room to grow.

Your brain is a physical organ — and like any organ, it can heal, and change. Your struggles aren't character flaws; they're brain biology, and our brains can heal and grow.

I offer neuroscience-based psychiatric care via telehealth throughout Connecticut, drawing on 27 years across the state's healthcare landscape — ICUs, ERs, home visits, schools, and communities. Awareness is the first step in healing.

My clients are the “overthinkers” in the world...with big feelings that are hard to explain. They feel misunderstood, lonely and isolated while striving to please others at the expense of themselves. They’re exhausted, overworked, and over-stressed, feeling like they’re never enough. They have a vision for life, but aren’t sure how to bring it together, especially after a life-changing event. They're also eager for change.

Does this sound like you? If so, I warmly welcome you to my practice.
