Couples therapists in Connecticut

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral health challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Southern Connecticut State University and strive to create a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and respected.

I recognize that every person's experiences and goals are unique, so I tailor treatment to meet each client's individual needs. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll focus on developing practical coping skills, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your overall well-being.

As an licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), my therapeutic framework is rooted in using a systemic approach with my clients. What this means is that I believe we understand ourselves within the context of our foundational relationships with others. I work with individuals, couples and/or families from this framework to help them to build healthier relationships within themselves as well as with others.

Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.

Hi there, I'm Gianna! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, providing compassionate and caring therapy. At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is possible when people feel safe and empowered. I have several years of experience supporting a range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, relationship stress, and grief. I also help to explore issues around life’s meaning and purpose.

Additionally, I work with clients navigating stressful life transitions, such as divorce, new parenthood, the death of a loved one, job loss, or an unexpected traumatic event. I take a special interest in those dealing with changes connected to aging, as I have over a decade of experience in the health care field as a hospice worker.

I’m Michele Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological challenges people face. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

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.

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

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.

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
