Are you constantly feeling like you're just going through the motions? Do you feel like there's a shadow looming over you even when life seem to be going well? Is there always a bit of self-doubt, self-criticism or even self-loathing lingering in the back of your mind? Perhaps you find it difficult to focus on the here and now because you can't stop yourself from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
Contrary to what movies may portray, marriage is not always a fairytale walk in the park. Marriage is difficult; it's learning how to give just as much as you take, to listen as much as you speak and to keep romance and intimacy alive despite daily stressors and outside forces. In a nutshell, marriage is work.
Are you a recovering alcoholic, a former drug user, or someone who is currently struggling to maintain sobriety? If so, you know first-hand just how difficult it can be to not only admit you have a problem, but to face it head on and commit to a better path. Unfortunately with addiction, the internal struggle never goes away, and it can be exhausting trying to manage on your own.
For many people struggling with an addiction or a mental illness, therapy is, quite literally, out of reach. Some live in rural areas where the closest therapist is miles away; others suffer from physical or mental disabilities that make traveling difficult; and still others are too busy with school or work to find the time to make it to their next therapy appointment.
Current clients will be grandfathered in at the old rate until further notice. With the exception of the intake session, which is between 60 and 75 minutes, all sessions are 50-55 minutes. I have been accepted as an authorized provider for Connecticut Husky Plans, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and Beacon Health Options.

I have been receiving services from Tom for almost exactly a year now and honestly he has been a blessing. I visit him once a week and I always come out of the sessions feeling better. I have seen vast improvements in my anxiety, depression, and other issues I was facing, and in reflection feel like a totally new person. I'm thankful for the help he has given me and will be glad to continue receiving services from him!

I’ve had a very traumatic experience that is personal to me so I won’t share any specifics. But all I can say is that if it weren’t for Tom I truly don’t know if I would be here to write this review. Tom to me has been completely non judge-mental, open minded, compassionate and genuinely caring. Not having many people to talk too about my issue I spiraled out of control mentally with overthinking and depression and anxiety. But having Tom in my life has really been a beacon of hope and faith that holds me accountable to bettering myself mentally every day. He has a tremendous way of making

I was close to filing for divorce before we met with Tom. My first phone call with Tom he asked why was I looking for a counselor. I told him what was going on and that I had already scheduled with a therapist but thanks for returning my call. He said I hope everything works out and I wish you the best. I returned home from the store and called him back and asked if we could meet with him. Out of all the therapist I called he was the first that was concerned about the outcome of my troubles without even meeting with me and from a five minute phone conversation.
On our first visit Tom let us know
