Welcome to West Hartford Holistic Counseling
Mental Health Counseling for adults, children, and families in Connecticut.
Are you ready to recapture the peace, serenity and fulfillment in life you once enjoyed?
We live in uncertain times. The cascade of recent events has left many of us reeling, feeling as though we’ve lost our sense of place. This is not only in our lives, but in the world at large. What we once took for granted—stability at work, in our relationships, with family and friends—seems to have evaporated, leaving us with an abiding sense of anxiety, depression and even fear, only amplifying what we may have already been feeling.
How is West Hartford Holistic Counseling Different?
Psychotherapy at West Hartford Holistic Counseling, like many mental health professionals, are acutely aware of what you’re experiencing. In many ways they are experiencing the same thing themselves. That puts each of them in the somewhat singular position of being able to meet you where you are and walk with you through this new reality with which we are all grappling in one way or another, while keeping an eye on concerns you may have been struggling with for quite some time.
So many of our clients come to us and say, “It’s like I don’t know how to do life, anymore.” Well, the truth is they often don’t, because, like you, the skills they developed over the years may no longer apply. How much would your experience change if someone could sit with you and say, “You’re not alone, so here’s a sort of different set of skills to work with and develop, along with what you already know.”
What We Believe?
At West Hartford Holistic Counseling, we believe everyone is not only able to bloom, but also thrive. It’s been said we were never meant to walk on this path alone. Let us help you return to yourself that also integrates a new and different place of peace, joy and personal fulfillment in your life.

OUR SERVICES
What We Do
People seek psychotherapy and counseling for many different reasons. You might feel unsatisfied and stuck in life and are unsure how to make changes to create a more satisfying life. Therapy is also a great tool for people who are going through a major transformation in life, which can feel unfamiliar, foreign and frightening. The experience may trigger old feelings or habits and may leave you feeling alone, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and without direction.
Contrary to popular belief, therapy is not only beneficial when your life feels unmanageable. Counseling can be used in the same way as a life coach where you can seek growth and understanding of your own limitations and how to work past them.
A counseling session is a time to share what you are looking for out of life, get some specific feedback, set personal and/or professional goals and develop a plan to help you achieve them. A session will provide a snapshot of your current life situation to gain better insight of the issues that you are facing. This will help to identify where the issues and blocks originated from and why. This is all done in a safe, confidential and comfortable environment.
You will gain a better insight and understanding of who you are and the direction your life has taken. This is important because lack of understanding and appreciation for our lives can create patterns of limitation for ourselves. Understanding and appreciation for ourselves garners a sense of empowerment and joy in everything we do. This in turn reduces the amount of stress and anxiety we feel in daily life. Confidence is restored, communications with others improve, and you begin to move through life’s obstacles with less effort. An all over sense of health and well being is restored and life becomes more manageable and satisfying.
