Something brought you here today. Maybe you're carrying something heavy that's hard to name. Maybe a relationship isn't working the way you hoped. Maybe life shifted in a way you weren't prepared for and you haven't felt like yourself since. Whatever it is — you're in the right place.
I work with individuals and couples navigating reproductive health, life transitions, and relationships. I specialize in infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum adjustment, as well as the moments when life leaves you feeling stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself. With couples, I focus on communication, intimacy, and rebuilding trust and connection after rupture.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
Hi there, I am a Mom of an 8 year old who received my Masters in Social Work in 1999 and became certified in Health & Life Coaching. I have worked in hospitals for 20+ yrs as well as working privately.
I'm easy to talk to and like to kindly challenge my clients to step out of their comfort zone.
I enjoy working with all kinds of people so if you are able- bodied, disabled, dealing with loss, struggling with a chronic condition, new to therapy or comfortable with therapy - I believe in my clients!
Are you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from the people and things you care about? It can be difficult to know where to begin when you're facing changes or persistent challenges. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are facing grief and loss, relationship conflict, professional stress, or a major life transition. These hardships often bring about cycles of anxiety and depression. Life transitions can be overwhelming. I’m an LCSW, here to walk alongside you as you break through limiting beliefs and move toward a more expansive self. I also have a deep passion for supporting the creative community—understanding the specific emotional highs and lows that come with being an artist, performer, or creative.

Do you find yourself doubting your ability? Are you and your family/partner interested in building healthier ways to communicate? Are you ready to heal from the things that you have been afraid to talk about? James Baldwin once said, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." This quote is the essence of therapy, facing difficult obstacles and experiences in hopes with exploration and work things will change.
My name is Whitley, I am a marriage and family therapist. I specialize in working with teens, couples, and families. I work collaboratively with my clients on everyday life challenges. I believe you are an expert in your life and I am here to guide you.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and look inward to what you truly want and need. It can be difficult to hear your inner voice when many things can get in the way of this— stress and responsibility, painful feelings or experiences, beliefs that are holding you back, fear of change.
I received my MS in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Queens College and am currently working toward obtaining my BSN and MSN as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with older adults (65+) and individuals, of all ages ranging from 18-103, facing significant life changes, including end-of-life concerns, hospice, health changes, and chronic medical issues. I also have experience supporting clients through relationship challenges, divorce, adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
I am a licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist based in downtown Fairfield, CT. I am passionate about helping my clients promote positive change in their lives through introspection and conscious action. I utilize a holistic approach that combines counseling, coaching, art therapy, and mindfulness practices.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and hold a CASAC 2 certification in the state of NY.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Connecticut
Searching for therapists in Connecticut starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists may vary by specialty, schedule, and session format. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Connecticut therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and background details that connect to your needs.
Location and access also matter when choosing a therapist in CT. If you live near Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, or a smaller town, you may weigh in-person appointments against virtual sessions based on your schedule and preferences. You can narrow your search by availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.
The cost of mental health care in Connecticut can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapist profiles, confirm coverage for your plan and location, and book directly when you’re ready.
