Therapists in Norwalk, CT

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.

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.'

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.
