Shifting Tides Therapeutic Services PLLC

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Serving residents of CT and MA, with virtual appointments.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Is this new stage of life scary and you're not sure how you're going to get through it? Is your worrying getting in the way of enjoying your life? Are you not finding your way now that you've started college/a new job/a new role in your family/moved back home/etc.?...I can help you move forward and make these things feel more manageable.

I’m Stephanie Ervin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Shifting Tides Therapeutic Services PLLC. I believe life is ever-changing, like the ocean’s tides, bringing unique challenges at every stage. I’m here to help you navigate these shifts, overcome challenges, and create the fulfilling life you want.

I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity and respect, offering support while challenging you to grow. While we might be talking about pretty heavy topics at times, I also believe therapy should not be so "stuffy" or intimidating. It should be a space you enjoy coming to! Using evidence-based techniques, I tailor therapy to your needs. My dog, Pearl, in training for animal-assisted therapy, can join future in-person sessions and sometimes says hi on screen! Together, we’ll explore your goals, reduce stress, and find clarity.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for each other. If any of this resonates with you, reach out with a text, call or email. You deserve to feel better and enjoy the stage of life you are in!
