Hello! I’m a professional counselor licensed in Connecticut with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Clients come to me for support with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, and parenting issues. I also have specialized experience in adoption and foster care, as well as working with first responders and individuals in high-stress roles. My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, honest, and human. I partner with clients to create goals that actually fit their lives—not a one-size-fits-all plan. I bring empathy and humor into the room, and I’m comfortable offering gentle (and sometimes direct) challenges when they’re helpful for growth. If you’re looking for a therapist who will support you, laugh with you when appropriate, and help you make meaningful changes, I’d be glad to work with you.

You are not alone. Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. Our experiences are varied & individual, but we all share the same basic needs. If your ability to meet these basic needs has been compromised by other factors, such as depression and anxiety, an imbalance in mood may be created that is often as difficult to correct.

Hello my name is Martha Ayala-Tannis. I have been in the mental Health field since 1997, with training in a variety of approaches; and I am always looking forward to working with my clients and learning from them. Christian counseling available.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience in individual and family therapy, specializing in treating adults, children and adolescents. My style is a collaborative and dynamic Strengths Based approach incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Systemic (Family) therapies. We all need guidance and support throughout life, now more than ever. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which my client's allow me to assist them on their journey towards change. How we think directly impacts how we feel and therefore how we act, the decisions we make and the way we approach our lives on a daily basis. There are many elements in our life experience that shape how we think and feel. When we understand the how and why of our thinking, we can then start reshaping our thoughts and changing how we feel. 'Where there is life, there is hope... and where there is hope, all things are possible.'

Hi, I'm Hayley. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. You have just taken a huge step in bettering your mental health. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected, and they are unsure of how to move forward, but they know they want something to change. Together, we focus on building confidence, balance, and self-compassion, using humor and perseverance to navigate challenges along the way. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, rediscover what brings them joy and fulfillment, and remember that growth is always possible, even in the most challenging moments. I help clients find healing and balance through a supportive, authentic, and often laughter-filled approach. My work blends evidence-based techniques with warmth and compassion, helping people build the skills and mindset needed to create real, lasting change. I know that reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to meet you with empathy, humor, and genuine support as we work on the changes you want to see. If you’re ready to take that next step toward healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

As a licensed therapist in Connecticut, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and discover deeper life purpose. I have extensive experience supporting individuals working through depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to build resilience and self-understanding. I'm particularly passionate about creating a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, where they can explore their experiences and challenges with genuine support.

Whether you're struggling with stress, working through past experiences, or seeking to enhance your self-esteem, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Therapy with me is a mix of insight + strategy: we name the pattern, build the tools, and practice what works—so your healing shows up in real life, not just in session. I’m Alyiah Brown, LPC, and I provide therapy that is warm, direct, and deeply practical. My approach is unique because I blend evidence-based counseling with a criminology + psychology-informed lens—the study of why people do what they do. That means we don’t just talk about what happened; we look at the behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, environments, and roles that keep repeating in your life (the fixer, the peacekeeper, the one who carries everything). Clients often tell me I “connect the dots” quickly—not by guessing, but through targeted questions, pattern recognition, and a systems-focused perspective that helps us get to the root. Clinically, I use a trauma-informed, skills-based approach grounded in CBT, ACT-informed strategies, DBT-informed skills (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundaries), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together we’ll build a clear plan to reduce anxiety and overthinking, stabilize mood, strengthen boundaries, and improve communication—so you feel more in control internally and more confident externally. I also take a holistic, humanistic approach because you’re a whole person—not a diagnosis. When appropriate, I have experience coordinating with medical providers to support the full picture (sleep, hormones, medication factors, stress physiology, and how the body holds emotional strain). And if faith/spirituality matters to you, I can integrate it in a way that’s respectful, empowering, and clinically grounded—never forced, always aligned with your values. Clients often come to me for support with: • Anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, and perfectionism • Depression, emotional exhaustion, and burnout • Boundaries, people-pleasing, and self-worth • Relationship conflict, family dynamics, and communication patterns • Life transitions and identity shifts • Trauma-informed support and nervous system regulation If you’re ready for therapy that feels human, structured, and effective, I’d love to support you.
