Hello! My name is Jessica Brousseau and I am a Certified School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut. I completed my graduate work in School Counseling at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, CT. I have been providing counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, and families for the previous four years, addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, academic challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship/social issues, and more. I believe that every individual experiences life challenges in a different way. Because of this, I employ an integrative approach to counseling that borrows practices from several orientations, including solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and strengths-based therapy. I believe it is important to collaborate with clients to determine which strategies will work best for them, and to make their time with me as successful and effective as possible. Seeking counseling services takes a great deal of courage and commitment. I applaud you for having already taken the first step to becoming a more fulfilled individual who wants to make real, meaningful change in your life. I look forward to working with you!

Hello and welcome! My name is Lisa Leibowitz and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut, where I reside with my family. I have a Bachelors degree in psychology from Emory University in Atlanta, GA and a Masters in social work (MSW) from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work in Bryn Mawr, PA. My experience includes individual counseling with adults and adolescents, parent guidance, family, and group work. After the past couple of years of dealing with the additional stress and worry in our daily lives brought about by the pandemic - job and financial strains, health concerns, restrictions on activities and social interactions, and more time spent at home, indoors and, for some, alone - it's clear that many among us are experiencing a sense of "burn-out". As a parent, I’m also aware of how difficult it has been, and continues to be, for our kids. The disruptions they experienced during the peak of the pandemic, both academically and socially, created a host of new challenges for parents as well. When it's difficult for kids, it's difficult for their parents! Some of us still struggle with concerns about aging relatives and many older adults still struggle with feeling cut-off from family and friends. It’s difficult to measure the impact the pandemic has had, and continues to have, on each of us - isolation and loneliness, frustration and anger, fear, stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss - but it is undeniable and enduring for many. Under any circumstances, it's my belief that most people could use some additional support at one time or another. I would like to offer that support, in whatever way I can, whether your concerns happen to involve pandemic-related "burn-out" or not. Through empathetic, non-judgmental listening and coaching, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(CBT/DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, my goal is to help you cope more effectively with whatever challenging situations and emotions you are experiencing at this time - whether that means finding time for self-care and achieving better balance in your life, acquiring tools to manage stress or other difficult or painful emotions, working on interpersonal effectiveness and relationship issues, building strategies to help you support your kids, or discovering new sources of satisfaction and social/emotional outlets. With a warm, interactive and client-centered approach, I will take your lead to determine our focus throughout the process and we will work together in the way that feels most helpful and supportive to you. You’ve taken an important first step by reaching out today and I very much look forward to meeting and getting to know you!

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ashley Naginewicz, Ed.D, LMHC. I hold a doctoral degree in professional counseling and am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working in the field of counseling for 10 years. I have experience working with a broad range of mental health disorders and addictions. I understand that often, addiction disorders can be co-occurring with a mental health diagnosis. Throughout the years I have worked with a diverse client population with many different ages, genders, race, and cultures. I believe that counseling is an individualized treatment. If you are reading this, it means that you are ready to take the journey in to counseling. This journey is one that is beneficial and does not only address things we identify as our counseling goals, but can also lead to an overall richer and fuller life. Everyone can benefit from the support and understanding the counseling provides. I enjoy helping clients enter recovery from alcohol and substance use issues through motivational interviewing techniques and working on coping skills that address more than just issues with dependency. I also use the techniques of DBT and CBT that can be beneficial for clients overcoming anxiety disorders, depression, and coping with life's changes including job and relationship changes. I have taken specialty courses related to trauma and how to heal from traumatic experiences. I believe that the client is the center of the counseling journey where autonomy and respect is the main priority, thus, individualizing the treatment of each client. Collaboratively, we will work together through this process to reach the goals that you have determined.
