Hello! My name is Michelle Pellin, and I am licensed as a professional counselor in the state of Connecticut and Florida. I currently hold two Masters: one in Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology, and the other in Human Services and Counseling. Previously, I was a licensed therapeutic foster parent for almost 20 years, working mainly with mentally and emotionally disabled teens, and adopted two of them. I also worked as a case manager for 7 years fighting for the rights of my acquired brain injury, physically challenged, and elder clients. I have worked with all kinds of individuals, and welcome anyone who needs support, as I am open and affirming to all. I believe that as a holistic, spiritually minded psychotherapist, one must be healthy in mind, body and spirit. I am a true believer that your past experiences have brought you to your present situations and will be assisting and supporting you in your counseling journey. I will help you find a better, more peaceful place in your life. My philosophy is simple. Believe in yourself. Believe in the power you hold within your soul to change the world around you. Don't let others drag you down to their level. Surround yourself with supportive people. Work hard, but make fun one of your top priorities. Reach out and give of yourself to others in need., but also give back to YOU. You are stronger than you tell yourself you are. You can be that person you want to be with the power of positive thoughts and actions. During our time together, I will treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve, and not pass judgment. I will listen to your concerns, and provide you at times with gentle guidance. However, you are the captain of your own ship, so I will never insist on doing anything you don't feel comfortable with. It took courage to seek help! I look forward to working with you.

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!

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.
