My approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psycho-education, Existentialism, and Motivational Interviewing. My range of experience includes phase of life issues, parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions work, mood disorders, career issues, life coaching aspects, infertility issues, and many other areas of mental health development. I am sensitive to the needs of the LGBTQIA community and family conflict issues.

Sonya Kirven
Hi! My name is Sonya Kirven. I am Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board-Certified Counselor. I have 8 years’ experience in counseling and 15 years’ experience serving a diverse group of young adults, adults, and families involved with child protective services. I am skilled in supporting individuals with mental health concerns such as Depression, Anxiety, financial and career concerns, and interpersonal relationships. My clinical approach is integrative however, grounded in CBT. In addition to CBT, I utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Building the therapeutic relationship in a judgment free space is key in achieving insight and growth. Having worked in the helping field for more than 15 years, I have been a part of and observed how intervention, even the smallest amount, can benefit in such an enormous way. I believe in a strength-based, Person-Centered approach throughout therapy. I am empathetic and compassionate here to offer support and guidance. As you lead the way, together we will work towards your therapeutic goals. Growing up in a family that is active in the field, my interests in counseling peeked at a very young age. I would say about 11 years old. I remember being enthralled in my Psychology and Sociology classes in high school. From there my journey began. Along that journey I have learned therapy offers a place where different thoughts, ideas and strategies can be shared. Trial and error are a part of the voyage. If one way doesn’t work let’s try another. YOU CAN DO IT. The end result is what matters!

Lisa Leibowitz
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!

Jayson Brunelle
Sooner or later, everyone arrives at a point where life seems to have become too big to cope with. Life is never really too much for us, but it can seem to be. When this happens, we have to get life back in focus. We have lost our perspective, but it can be regained. You may have come to think of the world as unspeakably vast-the earth twenty-five thousand miles around, and outer space, full of unknown worlds. But, practically, the world is limited to your house, your shop, and your town. Even if you fly to India or Paris or Hong-Kong, your world is no bigger than the interior of the airplane, and no farther away than the nearest airport. You may have come to regard the world as teeming with billions and billions of people. In reality, your world consists of a very small number of people—those you live with, those you work with, and those you’re acquainted with. And the awful, menacing future, that unending nightmare of shadowy days and years! Can’t even bear to think about it. Well, quit thinking about it all. You live only a split second at a time; that’s right - this minute. You can think of only one thing at a time, do only one thing at a time; you actually live only one breath at a time. So stop living in a tomorrow that may never come, and start living one day at a time - today. Plan for tomorrow, but live only till bedtime tonight. In short, that big bogey-man, Life, can be cut down to his real size. Life is only this place, this time, and these people, right here and now; this you can handle—at least today. “But my life is just one problem after another!” Of course it is—that’s life. I don’t know how it is with you, but it took me a long time to realize that at least some of these problems were of my own making. For instance, I thought that it was my duty to try to solve other people’s problems, arbitrate their disputes, and show them how to live their lives. I was hurt when they rejected my unsolicited advice. I finally learned that you cannot help people unless they really need help, are willing to be helped, want you to help them, and ask you to help them. Even then, you can only help them to help themselves. Hello! My name is Jay Brunelle. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Connecticut, my areas of specialization are Clinical Mental Health, Addiction, and Christian / Pastoral Counseling. In my 10+ years of professional experience, I've dedicated my life to assisting clients in (1) managing and overcoming dysfunctional, faulty, overly negative, self-defeating cognitions; (2) attaing emotional equanimity and regulation, and (3) facilitating behavior modification. Using a combination of such evidence-based treatment modalities as Client-Centered Therapy; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Gestalt Therapy; Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT); Behavioral Therapies based on Operant and Classical Conditioning; the 12-Step Approach, and Scripture-based spiritual practices, I've helped many of my clients to either fully overcome, or to take back significant control in overcoming clinical depression; bipolar; anxiety (including panic attacks with or without agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and phobias); PTSD; obsessive and compulsive disorders; low self-esteem, addictions to substances and maladaptive behaviors; procrastination; lack of confidence and identity issues. Therapy belongs to the client; and, for that reason, the therapist/counselor has a personal and professional obligation to provide, facilitate, and foster an absolutely safe, open, and entirely judgement-free zone, wherein all clients should feel and experience the safety of confiding in a trusted, professional confidante, who prizes the client for whom s/he is; not for what s/he has or has not done. We are human beings, not human doings! It takes great courage to take this first step in seeking out a better, happier, and more fulfilling way of life; consequently, I applaud you! It has been said, "When folks get sick and tired of being sick and tired, they become ready to make changes and to try on new ideas, behaviors and emotions." Should you choose to begin therapy with me, please know what an honor it will be for me, to accompany and support you on your journey of self-exploration and personal growth.

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
