Our Approach

In getting to know you, our therapists identify your needs to meet you where you are and help create goals to get you to where you want to be.

GHW therapists focus on:

Adapting their approach to your individual & family needs
Creating a trusted therapeutic relationship
Utilizing expertise to support
Understanding the complexity of your life

While each clinician has their own style, our team utilizes various evidence-based treatments when clinically appropriate:

Play- and art-based interventions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Trauma interventions
Developmental, family systems, interpersonal, and psychodynamic theories

Compassion

Compassion is at the core of everything we do. We understand that reaching out for help takes courage and vulnerability. We approach every client with empathy and non-judgment, creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Simplicity

We recognize that mental health care can often feel overwhelming, so we are dedicated to making our services as clear, accessible, and easy to navigate as possible. We also understand that practical aspects like billing and scheduling should not add stress to your experience, which is why we are constantly working to streamline and improve these processes.

Consciousness

Consciousness leads to more effective therapy and helps you gain clarity on what’s holding you back, so that together, we can identify the paths toward healing and positive change. This also means staying attuned to your evolving needs as we work together.

Growth

Growth is not just about the progress you make in therapy; it’s also about how we continuously improve and adapt our services to better serve clients. We are committed to offering innovative and beneficial services to meet the evolving needs of the Greater Hartford community.
