About Westport, Connecticut
Westport is a community where high expectations are the norm—in academics, careers, and personal achievement. For teens navigating competitive school environments and young adults launching careers in nearby Stamford or New York City, that pressure can fuel anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout. Our practice is rooted in this community because we understand the unique challenges Fairfield County families face, and we're here to provide support that fits the pace and demands of life here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you accept insurance?
We are out-of-network with all insurance plans. For therapy services, we provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many clients with out-of-network benefits recover a portion of their session costs this way. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before starting.
What ages do you work with?
We specialize in working with teens, college students, young adults, and young professionals, typically ranging from ages 16 to 40s.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, we offer telehealth services throughout Connecticut and Virginia in addition to in-person sessions at our Westport office.
How do I know if therapy or career coaching is right for me?
We offer consultations to help you determine which services best fit your needs. Many of our young adult clients benefit from both.
What should I expect in a first session?
Your first session is a chance to share what's been going on and what you're hoping to get out of therapy or coaching. We'll talk through your concerns, get a sense of what's been working and what hasn't, and start to clarify your goals. By the end, we'll have a clearer picture of the situation and can discuss the best path forward—whether that's a specific treatment approach, a recommendation for additional support, or a plan for ongoing sessions. There's no pressure to dive deep right away; the goal is simply to get on the same page and make sure we're a good fit.
