Emma Durao

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • West Hartford, CT


As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to goals, growth, and stability. For eleven years I was a school counselor which highlighted the growing mental health needs. So, the past three years I have shifted my focus to private practice to help clients ages 8-40. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts in your journey, so congratulations on taking that first step and prioritizing your mental health!

Jenn Hoffman

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.5 mi away • Farmington, CT


You've been holding it together for everyone else. Let's make space for you.

You're self-aware enough to know something is wrong, and exhausted from trying to figure it out on your own. Maybe you've done therapy before. Maybe you've read the books, know the language, can explain your patterns — and still can't seem to change them. That gap between knowing and feeling is exactly where I work.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and the relational wounds that don't heal with insight alone. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, hard-working women who are harder on themselves than they'd ever be on anyone else — carrying old hurt in their bodies long after their minds have tried to move on.

My approach is warm and direct. I won't just nod and reflect — I'll work actively with you, using EMDR, somatic and parts-based (IFS-informed) methods, and nervous system tools drawn from yoga therapy and mindfulness. These aren't techniques I layer on top of talk therapy — they're how I understand healing: that your body has been part of the story all along, and it needs to be part of the recovery too.

I've been doing this work for over 18 years, and I bring my whole self to it — including my own experience navigating complex relationships, multiple roles, and the ongoing practice of self-compassion that I ask of my clients.

If you're ready to stop managing and start actually shifting — I'd love to connect.

Bianca Torres

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Waterbury, CT


I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.

I hold both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.

In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.

I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.

Chananya Abraham

Chananya Abraham

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Waterbury, CT


I’m a psychotherapist and coach with nearly two decades of experience working with teens, young adults, and families. Much of my work focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and helping people navigate major life transitions, including adolescence, college, relationships, and career development.

Over the past several years, I’ve focused deeply on generational, religious, and family dynamics—especially the ways past experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and to the people closest to us. My goal is simple: to help people like each other as much as they love each other.

My approach is practical, direct, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, while also helping clients develop clear communication skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in who they are and how they want to live.

Clients who work with me can expect thoughtful conversations, honest feedback, and a focus on meaningful growth—not just symptom relief.
