My name is Mai Huong Nguyen, and I am a behavioral heath specialist and certified relationship coach. For almost 20 years, I have been helping my clients with various behavioral health issues that negatively impact their overall health, their marriage and significant relationships, as well as their performance at work . As a certified Conscious Uncoupling coach in addition to my clinical social work licensure, I am grateful to be able to assist people to heal from current breakups and divorce that are either happening now, or even from decades ago. In my view, when people are hurting, it is important that they are met with kindness and respect, that they feel seen, heard, and validated, in a non-judgmental manner. My therapeutic approach focuses on cultivating radical acceptance of what is currently happening, and to gently question our deeply held assumptions and beliefs underlying our challenges. We would also need to understand how, when ,and why our beliefs originally came into existence, and to mindfully proceed to rewrite the narratives of our stories in order to better serve ourselves and others.

Hello, my name is Kelley Machado, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut. You may wonder what does Licensed Clinical Social Worker mean, what does that allow me to do? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have the unique opportunity to help people work through various points in their lives. In the years I have been a social worker I have worked with various populations of people from many socioeconomic, cultural, and racial backgrounds as well as people with various presenting concerns. I began my career working in the mental health system, then the criminal justice system, then onto medical social work including various medical issues as well as aging and end of life concerns. I believe people can experience difficulties with coping whenever faced with a transition in life. These changes can include monumental transitions that are both good or bad, like a new job, new family members, loss, separations, disappointments, traumatic events, etc. These types of experiences can cause psychosocial distress which can have far reaching impacts on many aspects of our lives. I work with my clients who include children, adults, couples, and families to find healthy coping methods in order to gain a healthier perception of themselves which can help to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others so they can find themselves as comfortable, secure, and whole. I take time to get to know each of my clients on an individual basis so that I can tailor approaches to care because I have learned that not one approach impacts and helps all clients. I have been trained and adapted many approaches to provide therapeutic support including cognitive behavioral, attachment theory, developmental theory, trauma theory, and dialectical behavioral theory. Change is not easy and embarking on change takes a tremendous amount of courage and actions. I congratulate you on your wish, strength, and wisdom for seeking help and taking this first step towards making a change in your life. If you are prepared to move beyond wishes and intentions to action and fulfillment- I am here to empower and support you to achieve your goals. I would love to help you reach your goals, whatever that may be in life so you can move forward.

Hello! My name is Lisa Warden and I am a licensed Social Worker. Prior to completing my college, I worked as a massage therapist. I am very aware of the mind-body connection and how we can use our body to heal our mind. I’ve worked most of my career with helping those in recovery from Trauma, addictions, and personality related issues. These symptoms often really hold a person captive and away from the fulfillment of potential and in a constant state of survival. It gets me very excited to see a client who has been through hell, begin to thrive and enjoy life in a way they may have not thought possible. It can be very challenging to reach out for help and schedule a session. I offer a warm and flexible style (and often include humor) and I actively work to meet each client where they are and offer the encouragement and the skills to assist getting clients to where they'd like to be. I look forward to working with you!

I am licensed in Maine with 8 years of professional counseling experience. Prior to working as a counselor I was a special education teacher. My interest in counseling came from watching the impact my father, a school counselor of 35 years, had on those with whom he worked. His death in 2008 was a wake-up call for me to figure out my dream job. It turned out that was I really wanted to do was to be a counselor. As a counselor, I work with individuals of all ages. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, relationship issues, learning differences, and with people who are neurodivergent. I work from a variety of theories, believing above all that all clients are their own best expert. I meet clients where they are, builds relationships and then works with a client to help them achieve the change they seek. I will likely use aspects of Feminist Theory, the Social Constructionist view of development, Ecological and Narrative Theory as well as Cognitive Behavioral Theory in my work with clients. Overall, I believe that the world shapes the person as much as the human shapes the world.
