Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in West Hartford, CT

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel heard, understood, and respected. My person-centered approach is tailored to your experiences, strengths, goals, and needs. Informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I offer practical tools to manage distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts, regulate emotions, build coping skills, and improve relationships. I strive to create a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work collaboratively. Whether you’re facing anxiety, life transitions, emotional challenges, or feeling stuck, we can build on your strengths and create meaningful change.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, specializing in mindfulness-based approaches rooted in DBT and CBT. Therapy can help you process difficult experiences, manage emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and create meaningful change in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to have everything figured out. Whether you’re overwhelmed, anxious, navigating change, or feeling stuck, therapy offers space to feel heard and understood. I’ll meet you without judgment and work at your pace. If my approach feels like a good fit, I invite you to reach out.

Sometimes we may feel unhappy, lonely, or a bit stuck and want something more for ourselves and our relationships. Through counseling, I can help you create a more meaningful and fulfilling life, while also decreasing feelings of discontent. Working together, we can establish a supportive, therapeutic connection that is tailored to your individual needs and challenges to help change your life for the better. We will identify the barriers that may be preventing you, your child, or your families from feeling happy and connected with others. Please feel welcome to schedule a consultation with me to chat about how we can get started.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in couples therapy, trauma, and substance use recovery with a twist. Clients call me their "hippie therapist" because I bring a decade of holistic training, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and mindfulness into my clinical work. I've spent my career in addiction and behavioral health, including leadership roles at Mountainside Treatment Center.

Most people don't have a relationship, anxiety, confidence, or self-worth problem. They have a pattern problem.

The way you relate to yourself, other people, and the world around you is often influenced by experiences you don't even realize are still affecting you. That's why insight alone isn't always enough to create lasting change.

Hi, I'm Lissette LaRue, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Hypnotherapist with 15+ years of experience helping individuals and couples uncover and heal the deeper patterns driving emotional pain, relationship challenges, and repeated life struggles.

My work combines psychology, trauma-informed care, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and mind-body approaches to help clients create healthier relationships, greater confidence, stronger self-trust, and lives that finally feel as good as they look.

I work with adults experiencing relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem issues, communication challenges, life transitions, and the lasting effects of childhood experiences.

Whether you're navigating dating, marriage, family relationships, or your relationship with yourself, we'll work together to create meaningful and lasting change.

Seeking support is one of the most courageous steps you can take, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered—not judged. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building the skills and confidence to move toward the life you want.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma. I also enjoy supporting high-achieving professionals who often appear to have everything together on the outside while quietly carrying overwhelming emotional burdens behind the scenes.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable.

My approach is personalized because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and strengths-based techniques to help clients develop practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, healing from painful experiences, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I'm here to meet you where you are, and together we'll work toward helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.
