Compassionate therapy for mental health concerns, including those that occur alongside substance use.
Arrange a Free ConsultationMake Space for What You Are Feeling
Anxiety, depression and experiences of trauma can affect how you feel, relate to others and manage daily life. We offer an individualized conversation about what is happening and what you want from therapy.
Some people come with a specific concern, such as anxiety before work or sadness that has changed their routines. Others want to talk about experiences they have kept to themselves or a relationship that feels difficult. You can describe what you notice in your thoughts, feelings and daily life. We do not expect you to decide on a therapy approach before we have heard from you.
Mental Health and Substance Use, Together
When mental health concerns and substance use overlap, both deserve attention. We do not ask you to separate one part of your experience from the other. Your goals help shape the conversation about care.
In a session, you can talk about what has been happening recently and the experiences that help explain it. If substance use is part of that picture, it belongs in the conversation too. We consider what you want to understand or change, rather than treating your concerns as unrelated. Your provider can discuss the focus of therapy with you as the work develops.
Therapists to Get to Know
Serena Charbonneau, Michelle DeGennaro and Loren Pinnock are members of our therapy team. Their profiles describe their work in their own words, so you can read about their interests and approaches before asking about a match. A biography can help you prepare questions, but you do not need to choose someone on your own. Tell us which concerns you want therapy to address and any preferences about location or language.
We can discuss current availability during a free consultation. If a particular profile interests you, mention that person when you call or text. The conversation can include what you are looking for in therapy, practical questions about appointments and whether the provider’s work fits your concerns.
A Relationship That Supports the Work
Therapy starts with listening and a provider match that takes your preferences into account. We use evidence-based, non-judgmental care and can discuss in-person, in-home or Connecticut telehealth options.
Tell us if you prefer Cheshire, West Hartford, in-home care or telehealth while located in Connecticut. You can also ask about English or Spanish and current provider availability. The free 15-minute consultation is a chance to discuss a match, not a therapy session. Ask about your insurance plan and current rates; superbills are available for out-of-network care, and benefits depend on the plan and service.
