General Info:
As a Yale-trained psychologist, for the past 8 years I've been helping people--probably a lot like you--feel better & stronger. I'd like to understand how I can help you feel better too, so that you're motivated, moving forward, and you're getting what you need in your life.
• SERVICES: I provide the following low-cost services to adult individuals and couples: therapy, counseling, marriage counseling, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, coaching, anger management, consultation, supervision, and psychological evaluations. I do not prescribe medications.
• SPECIALTIES: Relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD, Panic, Addictions, Anger, Marriage Counseling, Couples Therapy, Self-Confidence, Personal Development, Life/Career Changes, School/Work Problems, Men's Issues, Veterans, LGB, Young Adults, and more (see my website for a full list: www.Psychologist-CT.com).
• APPROACH: I will try and understand your unique challenges by looking at your situation through your eyes and taking a walk in your shoes. I will work by your side as your teammate so I can help you understand your patterns, try out new strategies, and tackle your problems. I also provide valuable perspective as an unbiased outside point-of-view and an impartial mediator. I am skilled in a wide range of therapeutic traditions that I will integrate and customize to suit your needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), ACT, mindfulness-based, trauma-focused, exposure (e.g. EMDR), hypnotherapy, etc. With couples, I help improve communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution.
• STYLE: I'm well known for being a warm and compassionate psychologist with an honest and relaxed style. I prefer to help you discover insights for yourself, but I will often point out patterns, make connections, offer suggestions, facilitate activities, and encourage you to experiment with different strategies outside of our sessions. With couples, I encourage comfort and openness by being fair, balanced, and not taking sides--each person is responsible for doing their own part in improving the relationship and themselves.
• INSURANCE: I accept HUSKY, but I am considered an 'out-of-network' provider for other insurance companies, which means you will likely have to pay out-of-pocket. However most plans will reimburse you for my fees and I'll provide the forms for you to submit. Alternatively, I accept payments from your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Account (FSA). I accept all other forms of payment.
• LOW-COST FEES: $40 for the initial 50-minute evaluation session (1st session), then $100 for additional 50-min sessions. Discounts are available with pre-payment.
• AVAILABILITY: I'm now ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I have DAYTIME or EVENING appointments available during weekdays.
