Therapists for college students near Central Connecticut State University

Using an integrative approach, my therapeutic style is grounded in compassion, honesty, humor, and humility. I work with individuals of all ages, but specialize in working with college-age adults. Individual therapy sessions are provided for 45-minutes/session, usually scheduled on a weekly basis. These weekly sessions lay the foundation for a strong therapeutic relationship, help with learning new skills, and create important momentum so you can experience relief and reach your therapy goals. We will work together to acknowledge and understand your past experiences and begin to re-affirm your feelings of personal worth. I also provide full and partial psychological evaluations, diagnostic evaluations (ADHD, mood, anxiety, learning, autism, developmental disorders), and educational evaluations. Assessments can be structured to measure social functioning, personality, memory, language, learning, and attention, or to provide diagnostic clarity. Individualized recommendations provided will support and facilitate growth, helping to set the path for success.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with three years of experience providing mental health support across outpatient, school, and medical settings. I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, helping clients navigate emotional challenges and build lasting resilience. With specialized experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment-related concerns, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families seeking greater emotional balance, healthier coping skills, and meaningful personal growth. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and expressive modalities such as play and art-based techniques. Using a person-centered, strengths-oriented framework, I tailor treatment to each client’s developmental stage and unique needs—creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space for all.

I began practicing as an in-home (B.A) clinician. I worked with people after discharge from long-term psychiatric hospitalization. It was during that period that I received intensive training to provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I find DBT to be flexibly structured. The intense dialectical process has been helpful for many of my clients to achieve stability and work towards resolving traumatic experiences. Part of regulating our behavior is teaching our body and brain to better regulate so I also specialize in Neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback modalities to support behavioral interventions. I approach everyone as an individual and tailor my approach specifically to them. I lead weekly DBT groups as well as providing individual sessions. It is important to resolve the past and we all must live in the moment. I hope to provide people with more effective moments of joy and more tolerance for the shitty ones. I am direct, empathic, and genuine. I always do my best to provide direct feedback and will help if I can. If you are reading this, you are doing the best you can. Please contact me to schedule a consultation at no charge. I am a trans woman and practice affirming approaches.

The Anxiety Treatment Center ​specializes in cognitive behavioral treatment for anxiety and related disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a collaborative, solution-focused, and action-oriented treatment approach. Interventions operate on the premise that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are inter-connected such that changing one will influence the others and result in a reduction or the elimination of symptoms. Extensive research demonstrates strong support for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies in treating anxiety and related disorders.

Hi, I’m Shelby (she/her/hers). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (CT), Registered Drama Therapist, and Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator in Newington, CT. More importantly, I’m a theatre kid, cat-mom, and fellow therapy-goer. I work with individuals whose lives are “complicated,” deeply understand why they do what they do, and still can’t seem to get better. With a focus on "intellectualizers”, trauma, and chronic illness, I work with folks who are sick of coping, and want to start healing. As a therapist, I got sick and tired of seeing clients get told that deep-breathing and “reframing” will solve all of their problems. That’s when I started focusing on evidenced-based approaches that target the “why” behind people’s distress. These approaches include relational therapy, psychodynamic therapy, drama therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am accepting new clients with the insurances listed below, along with self-pay clients with insurances other than those listed. Please reach out with questions regarding cost and scheduling using the contact form on my website.

Hi! I am passionate about supporting college age students that would like support on eating disorders of all kinds, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidality.

We offer a safe, welcoming space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and work through what’s weighing on you. If you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy is a place to slow down, gain clarity, and build healthier ways to cope and move forward.

One of the biggest steps is achieving our goals is changing how we talk to ourselves. The negative, painful things we say to ourselves we would never think of saying to our friends. What would it be like if we could be as supportive to ourselves as we are to our loved ones? What could we achieve? I, also, believe in walking out of session with small, concrete, manageable strategies to try during the week and seeing what works and what needs to be tweaked. Let's celebrate what is already working and add more tools to your toolbox.

Jewel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has treated children, adolescents, adults, and families. Jewel is a systems trained therapist who uses a faith based approach and works off creating relationships to meet you exactly where you are. She then utilizes the relationship to help peel back the layers to discover and address the underlining issues rather than just the symptoms. She incorporates elements of multiple theoretical approaches throughout. She teaches and educates on how every behavior has a function. Her philosophy is that we all have a self and what we need to succeed in life, but through life experiences, difficulties, and transitions we sometimes forget our strengths. All we see are the difficulties in front of us and we can become clouded. Jewel believes in the process and we each have our own work and process to journey through.
