Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what works best for you.
I bring over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Counselor and Art Therapist to my practice. I work with clients to integrate a variety modalities including art therapy, movement, humor, meditation, and breathwork into my practice to help them close the disconnects between mind, body, and spirit, and connect with their true selves as whole and complete human beings.
I am compassionate and solution-focused psychologist deeply dedicated to helping my client's navigate life's challenges. I believe in focusing on the strengths of my clients and empowering them to develop practical strategies and coping mechanisms that promote lasting positive change.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, career and life transitions, grief, and questions of identity and purpose — whether that's a 20-something rethinking their path, someone reassessing a career after years in it, or an older adult navigating retirement, caregiving, or the shifts that come with later life. My approach is collaborative and grounded: you'll leave sessions with more clarity than you came in with, not just more to think about.
I came to this work after a first career in banking. I understand the pressure, identity, and burnout that come with corporate life firsthand — and what it takes to actually rebuild around what matters to you, whatever stage of life or career you're in. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva University.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience. I have a Doctorate in Social Work. I have focused primarily on working with children, adolescents, and their families throughout my career. For me, therapy is a collaborative process and we will work together to accomplish your goals. Anything is possible, sometimes we just need help to get things jump-started.
Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.
My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
- With 30 years of experience in behavioral health, I am an LICSW licensed in MA, CT, and RI. I hold a Master's Degree from Columbia University. My expertise includes providing evidence-based treatment and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to adults and couples.
We are designed for movement . What IS movement ? I have devoted over 35 years to helping others go to the next step: allowing movement to occur. Movement can be as nuanced and magnificent as a shift ! With my experience and expertise as a Theatre Movement Specialist I support people to employ their intelligence of mind and body, and when ready, to let go of “the stuck” and experience change. I bring a holistic approach to the human existence through examination of meaning, personal responsibility , values, freedom , human potential, spirituality and self actualization.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Stamford
Searching for therapists in Stamford starts with finding the right clinical fit for what you want support with. Therapists may specialize in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a Stamford therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you identify approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Stamford has local therapy options across areas like Harbor Point, Turn of River, Springdale, and nearby Fairfield County communities, but appointment availability can vary by office location and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or have limited access to an in-person therapist nearby. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Stamford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Stamford, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
