Family therapy and counseling in Southbury, CT

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 Elizabeth! I'm an LMFT who graduated in 2018 fron Liberty University. I've worked in community mental health, psychiatric hospitals and private practice. I think I have the best job in the world and I absolutely love helping my clients find strategies and solutions that make sense for them! I typically work with teenagers and women who are going through life changes. They find themselves needing some additional help to solve problems or support to see it through.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood—and if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, specializing in mental health and substance use. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families across a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, home-based care, and virtual therapy.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own.

My approach is collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in compassion. I use evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life—not just a model. We focus on what’s showing up for you right now, while also working toward longer-term stability and change.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It’s a space to slow things down, understand what’s driving stress or emotional pain, and build practical tools that help you feel more steady and in control of your day-to-day life.

My name is Jackson and I am a transgender man working as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community and those with complex trauma. Other topics relevant to my experience include crisis/suicidality, HIV, homelessness, substance use/addiction, harm reduction, and neurodivergence.

I also offer consultation sessions for mental health letters of support for gender affirming care (hormone therapy, surgery, hair removal, etc). I use WPATH standards of care to assess your situation and will provide a letter of support and/or help you to create a plan for further support if we identify any concerns. Keep in mind different doctors/insurances/states have differing laws regarding these letters and I may need to do research prior to writing your letter to ensure we do so correctly.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Are you living the life you want? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? This is the first step in the right direction towards positive change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) who is dedicated to supporting others who are challenged with life stressors, life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational concerns.

Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a really meaningful first step.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of challenges. I specialize in working with addiction, couples and relationship concerns, family dynamics, autism-related support, and anxiety and depression.

My background includes working in both school systems and clinical settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people from many different backgrounds and life stages. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping people better understand the patterns within their relationships and families.

Many of the clients I work with are trying to improve communication with a partner or family member, navigate the impact of addiction, support a loved one on the autism spectrum, or manage feelings of anxiety and depression that are affecting daily life.

No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space that feels supportive, honest, and human; where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
