Welcome to Better Help! I am Ann Garvey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in Social Work and graduated with the highest honors, and have mentored many Social Worker’s going through similar programs. I am professionally trained and experienced in working with Young Adults, Adults, Couples and Adolescents with a variety of mental health and relationship concerns. I have earned additional certificates of concentrated training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Are you exploring ways to feel more connected and improve relationships? Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression or have a lack of focus or motivation? Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new transition in your life? You are not alone in your struggles. I can help! I am passionate about helping my clients maneuver through life transitions. I walk hand in hand with my clients empowering them to develop effective solutions to their unique challenges. What distinguishes me from other clinicians is the breadth of my experience and long-standing career in a helping profession. My approach is to provide a safe place where my clients feel seen, heard and accepted without judgment while working to achieve personal growth and wellness. I utilize an eclectic evidence-based therapeutic model with interactive cognitive behavioral techniques to assist my clients in reaching their goals beyond their expectations.
Through my nurturing hands on style, I have helped many people navigate various transitions in their lives. I have watched my client’s gain the strength and confidence they were missing and improve the way they feel about themselves. Investing in oneself through time, commitment, and a willingness to engage in therapy is courageous. I appreciate the vulnerability and effort it takes in finding a therapist that is right for you, and I am devoted to guiding you through the process. I believe the most important aspect in psychotherapy is the relationship between therapist and client, and I look forward to collaborating with you.
