Heather Revill
Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that believes in working collaboratively with her clients to meet goals set forth by the client. The journey to wellness includes validation, empowerment, and a comfortable therapeutic relationship to allow you to grow and reach each goal that you set. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution Focused approaches that allow you to get specific about your goals and empower you to achieve them, however I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy and adjust my approaches according my clients and their therapy goals. My approach is warm and friendly and building the therapeutic alliance is important to me. My Master's Degree is in Human Behavior with a specialization in counseling. I have been a licensed clinician for over 5 years and worked closely with clients suffering from depression, stress/anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma/abuse. I also have experience in regard to substance abuse, life transition, family dynamics, career counseling, and foster care/adoption. No matter what the presenting issues my approach is compassionate and non-judgmental. I believe you are the expert of your life. When I am not working you can find me spending time with my family and our dog. I enjoy being outside whenever possible, to just enjoy the sunshine or go for walks/hikes. I am an avid sports fan and follow the Boston Red Sox and Bruins. My favorite wellness activities include yoga and meditation. The decision to engage in therapy is a huge step toward a happier and healthier life. I look forward to working with you!

Jamie Trahan
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.
Andrea Greenberg
Hello and welcome! My name is Andrea, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with over 31 years of experience as a therapist and counselor and soulful healer. I specialize in working with adults in midlife—typically between the ages of 32 and 75—who are navigating major life transitions and seeking a deeper emotional connection with themselves. Many of the people I work with are healing from Complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, or neglect, and are now noticing how old patterns and trauma triggers continue to show up in their adult relationships, careers, and self-worth. My therapeutic style is direct yet deeply nurturing and empathetic. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can be fully seen and supported, while also being challenged to take responsibility for your healing. I emphasize accountability and the importance of prioritizing self-care, self-love, and self-compassion—because those are the foundations for lifelong change. I draw on a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR, as well as Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and whole-body wellness practices. My clients often come to me because they are ready for meaningful breakthroughs rather than years of surface-level conversations. I have the ability to help people heal quickly and create lasting change, provided they are willing to show up and do the work. I am deeply invested in my clients and bring decades of experience, clinical expertise, and lived wisdom to every session. Above all, I always meet you where you are. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, and it is most important to me that you feel safe and comfortable with me—because true healing can only happen when you trust the person sitting across from you. ✨ If you are ready to uncover the roots of what keeps you stuck and begin moving toward the most authentic version of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

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."
