Therapy can help if... You are an adult or teen struggling with life challenges, difficulty managing emotions, behaviors or negative thoughts, lacking support or have a dysfunctional family or relationship. You are a mom or a dad experiencing depression or anxiety during pregnancy or after your child's birth.
You are feeling so overwhelmed and in pain that you can't see a way through and are considering suicide. Deciding to try therapy can be a life changing decision. Making a commitment to doing the work of therapy with the guidance and support of a therapist can lead to amazing results.
If I can help, let me know!
I understand how exhausting it can feel to be caught in the same patterns or unsure how to help someone you care about. I offer a calm, approachable, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you. Reach out when you are ready to begin.
Hello, and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting young and middle-aged adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and life transitions, as well as working mothers and new moms balancing the demands of family, career, and personal well-being.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice with an extensive background in social work across diverse settings. My work is grounded in compassion, ethical practice, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Sacred Heart University where I received comprehensive training in clinical practice and evidence-based interventions. I have experience working with adults and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including dementia, anxiety, burnout, stress, and the everyday ups and downs of life. My background has equipped me to support clients with both complex clinical needs and the challenges that naturally arise across different life stages.
I've spent my career working with people who are dealing with some of life's hardest circumstances — trauma, addiction, domestic violence, grief, chronic illness, and the day-to-day weight of anxiety and depression that doesn't announce itself. I bring both clinical training and real compassion to that work.
As a Black female therapist, I'm especially attuned to the cultural context that shapes how we experience stress, seek help, and heal. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, BPD, domestic violence, and substance use, and I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Connecticut.
My approach is practical and trauma-informed — I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. You've already taken a step by being here. We can take the next ones together.
I’m a therapist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and the everyday stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and integrate tools that best fit each person’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, low mood, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. You just have to take one
step. I am Sharon, a licensed therapist (LICSW) in Massachusetts specializing in trauma, grief,
and the weight of experiences that do not just go away on their own. I bring a collaborative,
trauma-informed approach built on one core belief: healing happens inside a relationship where
you feel genuinely heard, understood, and safe to go at your own pace. Much of my career has
been spent supporting Veterans and others navigating life's hardest terrain, and I would be
honored to walk alongside you on yours.
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I believe that healing occurs within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I work with each person to identify their strengths, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to achieve their goals.
I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences and strive to provide an inclusive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns and move toward greater well-being.
Whether you are seeking support for past trauma, coping with grief, managing stress, or navigating a difficult life transition, I would be honored to work alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I am a dedicated therapist with experience delivering client-centered care to individuals from diverse backgrounds. My clinical style integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I shape my approach to each client’s needs, tailoring therapy to support them in the ways that are most helpful and relevant to their unique situation. My role as your therapist is to help you deepen your self-understanding, identify and build upon your strengths, and develop effective tools for managing life’s challenges and the discomfort that can accompany them.
I believe every patient is unique and deserves individualized care. I have a passion for instilling hope in the patients I care for. I place a strong emphasis on actively listening and collaborating with each patient on their goals of treatment.
I am dual board certified Nurse Practitioner. I specialized in management of depression, anxiety, panic disorders, ADHD and addiction treatment.
Angellina Swart, LCSW is a social worker who has been in practice for six years. She is passionate about helping people access their strengths to overcome anxiety,
depression, and substance use disorders. Although she mainly works with adults, she does have experience working with children. She prefers to be authentic with her
clients to make them feel more comfortable and welcome in the therapeutic setting. She incorporates how external systems (family, work, policy, etc.) can affect a client’s well-
being and impact a person’s mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in West Hartford, CT
Searching for therapists in West Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling in West Hartford. A therapist’s profile can also show what their sessions are like and whether their style fits how you prefer to communicate.
West Hartford has local options across areas like Blue Back Square, Elmwood, and nearby Hartford, but appointment times and specialty fit may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond offices close to home while still keeping care with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your schedule, provides in-person or virtual sessions, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare approach, experience, and communication style in one place.
Therapy in West Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in West Hartford, review profiles, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
