Become Aligned With Your Authentic Self
Taking care of your mental health is an investment in yourself. It can help you to become more in tune with your emotions, better able to manage stress, and more resilient in the face of life’s challenges. When you pour into your mental health, you can develop healthier coping mechanisms, be more aware of your thoughts and feelings, and better understand yourself on a deeper level. This can help you to live more authentically and make decisions that are true to who you are. It can also help you to navigate relationships in healthier ways and connect more deeply with those around you. At Becoming You, Center for Transformation we’re here to help you prioritize taking care of yourself, so that you can experience life in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.

I’ve worked with virtually all ages and clinical issues and been trained in many modalities. My professional journey has led me to more experiential work and learning to get more at the core of issues, rather than focusing on symptoms.

It Is Never Too Late To Become You
Become the best version of YOU at any age, or any stage! We provide therapy for adolescents, young adults, adults and older adults.
It is never too early or too late to start a self-discovery journey and transform into the best version of yourself. Everyone has their own unique qualities and abilities, and it is never too late to start exploring them and turning them into something great. No matter where you are on your journey through life, you can start reflecting on the things that make you unique, and work on developing them further. Therapy can help you better understand your potential, discover your passions and interests, and identify how you can use these to achieve your goals. It can also help you develop skills, build confidence, and become more self-aware. At Becoming You, Center for Transformation we want to help you take control of your life and make decisions that will lead to a more authentic and fulfilling experience.

Transformative Mental Health Services Designed To Help You Become You
anxiety and depression
Anxiety and depression can be disruptive to your everyday routines, and cause you to isolate yourself from the world. It's time to regain your passion for life and come out of hiding! Therapy can help you overcome anxiety, learn healthy ways to cope with depression, and teach you new ways to manage intrusive thoughts.
Therapy for trauma
Experiencing trauma, whether recent or in the past, often leaves behind lingering feelings of physical or emotional tension and discomfort. Therapy can help you process unresolved trauma and free yourself from the weight of the past, so that you can move forward and live a more fulfilling and happy life.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was developed to provide relief from the distress associated with traumatic memories. We offer EMDR Therapy to help you find freedom from the emotional distress that may have resulted from a traumatic experience.
EMDR Intensives
During an EMDR Intensive, your therapist will help you to reprocess traumatic experiences by locating the source of your pain and exploring ways to reframe your emotional and physical responses. EMDR Intensives allow you to experience recovery from trauma in less time than traditional talk therapy.
Grief therapy
Mourning the loss of a loved one, or experiencing the end of a meaningful relationship, can be a challenging journey to face alone. Grief therapy can help you process your loss in a healthy way, provide a space for you to express your deepest emotions without judgment, and empower you to give yourself permission to move forward in life.
life transitions
One of the most beautiful parts of our human experience is the fact that we never know what's going to happen next. For many of us, this sense of unfamiliarity can heighten anxiety and trigger feelings of fear and worry. Therapy can help you learn to embrace change and trust yourself to evolve as you are introduced to new experiences.
college students
College is one of the most exciting and stressful chapters in our human experience. Living in a new place, becoming independent, and handling intense responsibilities can force us out of our comfort zones and into the "real world." Therapy can help you to remain centered and approach your college experience with an empowered mindset.
LGBT+ affirming
You deserve to live a full and happy life, no matter who you love or how you identify. At Becoming You, Center for Transformation, our goal is to ensure that every part of your identity is seen, heard, and affirmed. We are dedicated to creating safe spaces where every individual feels respected and empowered to live life as the highest version of themselves.
Telehealth Therapy
Experience therapy from the comfort of your own home, or a preferred space that affords you privacy. At Becoming You, Center for Transformation, we understand that the power of therapy transcends the walls of our office in Connecticut. Our team of compassionate therapists are flexible and open to meeting you where you are, no matter where that is.
