Frequently Asked Questions

  • You do not need to know which psychologist would be the best fit before contacting us. During your initial consultation call, we discuss what you hope to achieve. If our practice is a good fit, we connect you with the psychologist who matches your specific goals and preferences. If it turns out we’re not the best fit, we’ll help connect you with a provider or service that’s better aligned with your needs. Complete our contact form or give us a call (860-251-9316) to find the right place to start.

  • Your initial 90-minute therapy session gives us time to review your background, discuss what has and hasn’t worked in the past, and clarify your goals. We’ll answer any questions you have about the therapy process and use what we learn to create a practical treatment plan tailored to your priorities. Many clients leave their first session feeling relieved to have a clearer understanding of what they’re experiencing and a roadmap for moving forward.

We offer telehealth appointments through the secure, HIPAA-compliant SimplePractice platform, as well as in-person appointments at an office location at 682 Prospect Ave, Suite 204, Hartford, CT 06105.
