Everyone’s mental health journey looks and feels different. Like you, I’ve had my own journey. This means you can trust me when I say that I know it is hard. I know that it can be scary and I know that you need to feel safe in this process. I am here to walk next to you, to cheer you on and sometimes to help pick you up when you fall. I am honored that my job allows me to help others on their journey and it is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples. I work with my clients to treat depression, anxiety and trauma. I also work with clients to process issues related to divorce, parenting, relationship concerns, life changes and the challenges that come with having a family member in the military or law enforcement. My experience treating PTSD includes working in a partial hospitalization program and being certified in Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I believe that it is important that my clients feel I am a good fit for them both in my treatment approach and in personality, that is why I offer a free 20 minute consultation before starting therapy.

Shea Counseling is committed to serving clients with a specialization in eating disorders, however we also have great experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, family struggles, identity, LGBTQ+, emotion regulation, and codependency.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Has anxiety or depression made it difficult to get through the day? Are you just not feeling like yourself or doing the things you used to enjoy? My name is Bridget Mozina, MA, LMFT, and I believe sometimes life throws us challenges, and therapy can be helpful in navigating through those. I enjoy supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, and self-harm. Along with a warm and accepting environment, I also bring humor and authenticity. I help people discover their strengths, gain insight, and develop the tools for lasting change.

I consider all human complexity from a holistic point of view. A holistic perspective embraces the interconnections between the body, the mind, and the spirit. All our behaviors and symptoms have a purpose. My core theoretical orientation is trauma-informed Adlerian Psychotherapy. I practice CBT, DBT, MBSR, and EMDR, among a multitude of other Evidence-Based interventions. My specialization focus is trauma and I have multiple advanced hours of training making me equipped to help you dig in the roots of your most pesky daily weeds, when and if you are ready to roll your sleeves up. In my practice of Attachment-based EMDR, I have seen profound changes in clients' healing and personal growth. Flash technique is another form of EMDR intervention known for being much gentler and softer when processing extremely hard memories. My therapeutic style is best described as direct yet compassionate, with a holistic and systems-view perspective. I do use humor and I also believe in the cathartic nature of a good ugly cry. One of the reasons I decided to pursue my lifelong passion of helping people therapeutically (too mature for their age or adults still young at heart) on a professional level was to provide validation, unconditional support, guidance, and skills that my younger self needed and wanted. Are you a first-generation college student struggling to navigate the educational system without the emotional and fiscal support you deserve? Are you struggling to navigate the competing demands of educational, cultural, societal, and self-imposed expectations? Are you feeling overwhelmed? I AM here to help! If you are contemplating throwing the towel or about to, before you give in to the "overwhelm," I encourage you to give therapy a try. Truly, what do you have to lose? I am also a Mom who loves working with other mothers and women as they navigate the challenges of parenting, post-partum concerns, divorce, pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact of fertility issues. My personal experiences have informed my additional strength in working with First Generation Immigrants as they/we navigate the process of acculturation. I continue to be inspired by the healing power of human connection in the therapeutic process. I look forward to hearing from you and starting your journey of self-discovery and healing. I provide therapy in English and Bulgarian.

Hey there! I'm Lorene, and I'm passionate about helping you navigate life's ups and downs, empowering you to achieve real, lasting growth. My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy and internal family systems theory, but I always make sure our sessions feel personal, creative, and tailored to you. Using art in therapy is one of my favorite ways to help you express yourself and discover new paths to healing. I've spent time both in behavioral health roles and in corporate management, so I get how challenging it can be balancing school, work, relationships, and self-care. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where you feel understood and valued, no matter your background. Mental health has always been close to my heart, especially since I didn't see enough counselors who looked like me growing up. That’s why I’m committed to staying updated with the latest developments in mental health and addiction counseling.

Life's unpredictability and challenges can lead to uncertainty, fear, and stress. Many clients who seek my psychotherapy services experience stress, anxiety, or depression, often stemming from life transitions, grief, or struggles with interpersonal relationships and self-identity. I have over 6 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health issues and have work with college students dealing with homesickness and veterans. I utilize evidence-based approaches and humor in sessions to foster positivity, confidence, and hope. In our sessions, clients find a welcoming, supportive, and comfortable environment where they feel understood and heard. I believe building rapport and trust with my clients is imperative to the therapeutic work, relationship, and achieving set goals in therapy. Reach out to me to see if we may be a good fit to work together.

At different times in one's life, painful feelings such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem may be present. Life stressors, complicated interpersonal relationships and more can overpower one's coping resources. At this time, seeking help in the form of therapy can be beneficial. Are you interested in moving beyond feelings of sadness and worry? Are you looking to create more meaningful relationships in your life? Are you seeking more meaning and purpose in your life? If so, counseling can be helpful in starting on this journey. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor and work to create a warm and supportive space in which my clients feel safe to explore difficult concerns. I bring engaged listening, thoughtful questions and an outside perspective to the therapeutic relationship. I work with my clients to identify hopes and goals for the process of therapy. Based on these identified goals, I choose tools and techniques that I believe would be beneficial. I bring a humanistic/client-centered orientation to therapy and incorporate mind-body, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness. I work best with clients who are young professionals (in their 20's-30's) or youth (10 and up). They're ready for real change. Clients who are a good fit for me might come to therapy because they have a hard time calming down, feel trapped by their traumas, struggle with perfectionism, or are just feeling like something is missing in their lives. My style of therapy is warm and nonjudgmental. We'll come together to look at how the present is intertwined with your past, and find ways that work for you to cope. When it comes to trauma, I don't believe you need to even fully remember it to heal from it. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's ok! Reach out for a free consultation.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Amanda Tieri, and I’ve been a social worker for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging and most meaningful moments. My work has taken place primarily in healthcare settings, where I’ve supported people of all ages and backgrounds as they navigate illness, loss, transitions, and healing. What I’ve learned over the years is that every person’s story matters. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or returning to it after some time away, I want you to know that this is a space where you will be heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth. I bring not only clinical experience but also a genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters most to you.

Do any of these statements sound familiar? You worry too much. You must drag yourself out of bed every morning and often wake up feeling sad for no apparent reason. You have not been able to move past a traumatic experience. Your mind wanders, and you cannot focus on a task. My friend, welcome, you have come to the right place, and we will take good care of you. If you do not want medication, that is fine. We incorporate therapy, functional psychiatry, complementary/alternative treatment in our approach. We want to prioritize your happiness and wellness, which is why we are very affordable and also accept insurance. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe psychiatric medications. The conditions we treat include depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, ADHD, Autism. I provide initial psychiatric evaluations, ongoing medication management, therapy, mindset/life coaching, and nutritional counseling. Each day, you grow older. Each day of your life has the ability to be monumental, but each day only happens once. Every moment of every day, you're given a chance to make a lasting memory. Create a memory that you'll be proud to share. Pick up the phone or shoot us a text, we will be here. Our sessions/visits are over a secured online platform.

My training experiences as a clinical psychologist have spanned a broad range of treatment settings (inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization) and treatment populations (adults, adolescents, and children). I have worked with many types of people throughout my career: from high-functioning professionals who are experiencing job-related stress, to individuals suffering from chronic and persistent mental illness. Above all, I specialize in helping people heal “relational trauma.” This term is a broad one, and difficult to succinctly describe (but I’ll try my best) —People who have endured relational trauma oftentimes have a childhood marked by emotional misattunement (others not correctly reading and responding to their emotional needs), emotional neglect, emotional or physical abuse, and confusing relationships with others. Typically, those with relational trauma have parents who might have been less warm, more emotionally enmeshed or punitive, or simply too consumed with their own issues or trauma to correctly “attune” to the needs of the child. Sometimes, this trauma results from some major personal or family trauma (e.g., divorce, death, major illness of a family member). So how does relational trauma affect us in adulthood? This can show up in many ways, some of which include: * Difficulty regulating emotions (e.g., feeling constantly overwhelmed by anxiety and fear) * Chronic shame and guilt * Constantly “beating” oneself up or putting oneself down * Difficulty depending on others (e.g., emotionally) * Discomfort with emotional intimacy and problems maintaining healthy relationships * Feeling “empty” on the inside and struggling with identity issues * Worrying about interpersonal abandonment, rejection, criticism, etc. * Excessive need for approval, being overly submissive or suggestible I would like to offer hope — the mental health field has begun to increasingly appreciate the effect of childhood on adulthood. Therapy can help to heal the pain that these experiences have caused, and help you free yourself from repetitive patterns rooted in these experiences (e.g., repeatedly choosing “unhealthy” relationships) I graduated with my PhD in clinical psychology from the APA-accredited clinical psychology program at the University of North Texas, and completed the APA-accredited clinical psychology internship program at the Institute of Living (IOL) in Hartford, Connecticut. At the IOL, part of my primary clinical responsibilities included co-facilitating daily inpatient and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) psychotherapy groups, in addition to completing psychological testing and providing individual psychotherapy services. My time at the IOL offered me unique and intensive training in psychodynamic theory and technique, which still strongly influences my clinical work to this day. After completing internship, I completed postdoctoral training in the psychiatry department at the University of Minnesota, where I received specialized training in the assessment and treatment of psychosis, personality issues, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and severe depression. Prior to my internship, my clinical training in the Yale School of Medicine and at the Yale New Haven Hospital Intensive Outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program provided me with extensive psychotherapy training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. While at the Yale School of Medicine, I also received unique training in mindfulness-based interventions, which also strongly influences my approach to treatment. The point in sharing all of this is that I have lived in many places, been exposed to many different types of training and experiences, and have a deep passion for learning and helping people. I believe that my training and skills within the realms of individual therapy, group therapy, and psychological testing helps me understand and connect with clients at a deep and profound level.
