Therapists in Connecticut

Hi! My name is Judy Durdan and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Florida and Connecticut. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2001. I have extensive experience working with a variety of people in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I've worked with people who are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, forensics, homelessness, and veterans, as well as people who just want an ear to hear them and help guide them through the steps to feeling whole. My goal is to help adults in difficult times figure out how to address those issue through thoughtfulness and mindfulness, utilizing their own strengths and experiences, as well as, a few skills I have to offer. The treatment is an agreed upon approach created through support and understanding, and my approach being adjusted to your needs. Please contact me so that, together, we can find the most convenient and beneficial time that we can meet to tackle those issues. Enjoy your day!

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Brian and I applaud you for beginning this journey we call therapy. Whether you’re new to the experience or you’ve been in therapy before, I am here to help, support and be with you along your journey to wellness and wholeness. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have engaged individuals, teens and couples in a variety of settings addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict as well as professional and vocational issues. I have also helped clients help themselves improve their self-esteem, coping skills, moods, adjust to major life changes as well as improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. I have a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and over 25 years of professional experience. Over the years I have used and custom created many therapeutic approaches, techniques and helped improve clients’ perspectives to help them move forward. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in the therapy process by setting their own goals and evaluating progress towards achieving them. Finally, I am concerned about all aspects of a client’s life including your physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. I am informal, transparent, and very open; ask me anything! Nothing is “off-limits” during good therapy, and I encourage clients to bring any issues/concerns they may have to the sessions. I value being a very safe, accepting haven for my clients. I see individuals over 18 y/o and couples. Thank you for allowing me to share my background with you. Here are a few reviews of my work from current individual clients: "Having worked with Brian for over a year now, I can say confidently that his approach to therapy is extremely effective. He is a master at guiding you to a better understanding of yourself - he allows you to form your own conclusions, while offering his own insight along the way, which is invaluable. If you’re looking to connect better with yourself, and truly understand WHY you are how you are, I cannot recommend him enough." " I have had the privilege of working with Brian as my therapist, and I can say without hesitation that his support has been deeply impactful in my life. He is incredibly insightful and thoughtful in his approach, always meeting me with patience, respect, and a sincere desire to understand my perspective. Brian creates a space that feels genuinely safe—never judgmental, always grounded in kindness and open-mindedness. His ability to balance professional guidance with compassionate listening has helped me make meaningful progress in how I view myself and the world around me. I am truly grateful for the work we’ve done together and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who brings wisdom, integrity, and heart to their practice." I have weekday early morning (6:00!) and daytime hours to meet your needs and look forward to working with you!

I believe that everyone has the tools they need to implement the changes they want. As a therapist, it is my job to help you access these tools by providing new broader perspectives and understanding how contexts and perspectives may be limiting you. I practice under the theory that relationships work in systemic ways, meaning when one aspect of a relationship is not functioning as it should, another aspect will suffer. Through collaborative discussion, I will challenge you to broaden your perspective in relationships, allowing you to access your internal tools to implement the necessary changes. Sometimes life is complicated, similarly, our sessions may be to. We may laugh, cry, and we may even disagree, all in an effort to reach our goals and or alleviate symptoms. If you are willing to do the work together, we can help you create change. For our first session, try not to stress. I try to keep it light and easy, just getting to know each other. I know most clients are stressed and anxious before we even meet due to the circumstances that brought them in, the vulnerability of letting me in, or just life in general, and I do not want to add to that. With me, first sessions are more of a meet and greet unless the client expresses an urgent specific need. My biggest strength is collaboration. Together with clients, we can foster productive and healthy relationships within your family and support systems. As well as a safe and supportive relationship with yourself. I love working with couples. I strongly believe a lot of conflict and tension in people's lives can be resolved through clear communication and taking a moment to listen to others' perspectives. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their relationships or roles in relationships. I also love individual work, helping people clarify the chaos they feel in their heads and providing the tools needed for good mental health.

There is nothing more powerful than the resilience of the human spirit and I think we sometimes lose sight of that, during different periods of our lives. I consider it a privilege to share the journey with you as you regroup, refocus and renew your commitment to yourself and your life. Together, we can shed light on unhealthy behavior patterns that no longer serve you and create new ones that allow you to build the life you want for yourself.
