Therapists in West Haven, CT

Hello! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important. If you don't have a good relationship with your counselor, you won't make the progress you are hoping to achieve. I want to provide you with some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I have been a social worker for more than 12 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse, and the challenges of parenting. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. A majority of my availability is in the evenings and on the weekends but I check messages at least once during each weekday. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.

Michelle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and Connecticut as well as a certified yoga instructor who has over 25 years in the field of recovery, bereavement, and life transitions.

What a great feeling to finally be heard, understood, & know you're not alone. I'm a coach and counselor who walks the walk. I focus on the here and now and moving forward. We may look to clarify where the hurting comes from, but we don't stay there. We look ahead and build a new life! You are worthy and you are capable. Call or email for an appointment- early morning, evenings and weekends available.

Are you at a crossroads in your life and looking to get "unstuck"? My name is Tiana Burdick, LCSW and I'm a clinician based out of CT. I have done years of mobile crisis work with both children and adults. This experience has allowed me to gain insight into family dynamics, and how people function when a major change - or crisis situation - occurs in their life. I have attended both the University of Connecticut and Southern Connecticut State University where I ultimately obtained my Masters in Social Work. In addition to my years of crisis work and my educational background, I also have experience working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum for 3+ years. If you feel that you are stuck at a crossroads, struggling with change, or on the verge of a crisis - I would love to be able to assist you.
