At Coastal Connecticut Counseling we integrate effective evidence-based psychotherapy methods, in a safe and supportive environment, to help clients build resilience and achieve growth. 

Some of the therapy models we use are CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Play Therapy, Structural and Strategic Family Systems Theory and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). 

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix; therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and client investment.

Coastal offers consistent care by providing every client a dedicated clinician with whom they will work weekly throughout their course of treatment.

Research shows that the number one predictor of therapeutic success is the nature of the client/clinician relationship. While it is crucial to have a therapist who is well trained in the area in which you need support, working with a therapist with whom you connect positively influences the therapeutic process.

We strive to best align clients with clinicians based on presentation, availability, and insurance. Sometimes, despite our best effort, transfer to a new clinician is mutually agreed upon. No hard feelings, as chemistry is paramount and client care is our top priority. We commit to check in with you during treatment to ensure your satisfaction.

Occasionally we find that we do not have a clinician with the experience to assist a client in their journey and therefore provide referrals in the client's best interest. 

We accept most insurance plans and provide a sliding scale to clients in need of financial support. We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions if you prefer to connect with your therapist from the comfort of your home. 

Coastal Connecticut Counseling does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
