Therapists in Waterford, CT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who employs a family systems theoretical perspective in doing counseling with adults, adolescents, and children. Depending upon the particular client, I will conduct individual, couple/marital, or family sessions to help individuals gain insight into the dynamics of his or her family of origin. This approach includes an examination of the manner in which these behavior patterns are currently influencing the client's relationships with dating partners, spouses, children, in-laws, friends, co-workers, supervisors, employers, and other significant individuals in the client's life.

Please go to my web site www.jillemilleatherapist.com for a more complete introduction. I am a welcoming therapist with over 25 years working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, stage of life issues, and addictions. I support both men and women as young as 18 through maturity. My goal with every individual is to listen carefully to your concerns and needs, to help you sort out your priorities and values and to support the development of your beliefs, attitudes and behaviors aligned with your most authentic self.

I will collaborate with you in a safe and judgment-free space. Through our work together, I can assist you in building coping strategies, gaining insight, and building confidence through a strength prospective lens. Uncertain about therapy….that’s okay. Entering therapy can feel overwhelming, but I am here to help walk you through the process at whatever pace seems best for your personal growth.

I will provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals, couples and families can explore ways in which they are stuck and help them find a more fulfilling life. Whether I see an individual or an entire family, I use a relational, solution-focused and collaborative approach that respects and validates client strengths to find solutions. Being a Korean-American with first hand experience living in different countries, I bring a culturally-sensitive and non-judgmental approach to help clients increase insight, identify patterns that no longer are useful and develop a path forward that will bring more fulfillment.

Many of the clients we serve have tried therapy with a counselor who was not a good fit for them. We get it. Our therapists help you feel better by understanding your emotions are like a guide. Counseling with us feels as easy as speaking with a friend who can truly help guide the process.

I am a Licensed professional counselor with more than twenty years of experience in the field of counseling. My goal as a clinician is to help individuals and familes deal with their struggles, working with them to build appropriate skills as necessary and harness strategies to effectively deal with them. In addition to being a professional, I am also a Christian therapist who values an individual's faith values. Faith can be an important component in therapy and when appropriate, I provide counseling from a Christian/ biblical world view too.

I specialize in working with young adults, college students, athletes, professional and executives. My experience includes working in an IOP with clients presenting with symptoms of depression, self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation/attempt, anxiety, physical aggression, and anger. I provide service with empathy, compassion, and sensitive care in a calm environment. My hope is to help clients regulate their negative emotions and behaviors, gain awareness and insight into their lives, and improve relationships. I work tirelessly to promote mental health, emotional wellness and awareness to every client.

We have clinicians who are licensed in the state of MA, CT, and RI. Life is full of challenges and unpredictable, we can’t always mitigate or control these; the key is to be aware of our maladaptive behaviors and build strength by enhancing our awareness and creating a new path for ourselves, family, and/or couple. We understand that not everyone can heal and cope the same way.

We became psychotherapists to help support others through life's challenges. From relationships to family to career, life can be a roller coaster of events. We believe that creating some space in your life, even just one hour a week, can be very beneficial to your health and overall well being. As the saying goes when flying on an airplane, "...make sure to put the oxygen mask on yourself first before attempting to help others around you." This is crucial. If you are not well, how can you help take care of those around you?

Sometimes you feel like a failure. No matter what you do, nothing works and you just don't know what to do anymore. Perhaps you are feeling very alone; yet putting up that façade so people have no idea what you are going through. When we are feeling so stuck, hopeless, or alone, it is really difficult to know what to do differently and it is hard to know how to reach out for help. You have taken the first courageous step in making a change by coming here. What if I told you that there is hope? We will explore what is meaningful to you and help you recover joy. We will cry, laugh, and work on your strengths.

Are you feeling stuck, isolated, or just overwhelmed by life? You are here, so you have already taken the first important step. I welcome the opportunity to help you make the right adjustments to improve your quality of life. With a non-judgmental approach, I will listen and guide you toward accessing your internal strengths, to help weather your life's storm. Let's work together to create a path that will lead you to greater self-awareness and a better you.

We all have unique stories: some are buried deep, some are open wounds, some we band aid and some we would rather forgot. Being able to have support and a safe place to look into these stories and then change the narrative to encompass the whole story requires a readiness to grow and heal from the inside out so that your new stories empower you and impact all of your relationships, including the relationship with yourself. Are you ready to heal and move into a more authentic and connected self?

Within my practice, we work to address anything that you feel is preventing you from living as your most authentic and self-compassionate Self. If you are carrying daily life stress, the loss of a loved one, challenges with adapting to a new life transition, deep and debilitating sadness, the burden of a traumatic experience, or even struggling to make sense of what you are feeling, I'm here to honor your reality - whatever that may be - so you can begin your healing process. With compassion and curiosity, my role is to help you nurture and strengthen that which encourages you to feel heard, liberated, and fulfilled.
