“it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.”

- Mary Oliver, “Invitation”

Our approach

We are an intentionally small group of therapists in Connecticut who have dedicated our careers to advancing mental health and wellbeing within our community. We believe high-quality, individualized therapy is incredibly powerful and feel honored to offer this kind treatment to our clients as well as to encourage others to do the same through our supervision and consultation work.

For those who are not local to these areas or prefer to have sessions from the comfort of their CT home, we conduct telehealth sessions through an encrypted video app.
