Andrea Greenberg

New Haven, Connecticut - Clinical Social Worker
Online

Hello and welcome! My name is Andrea, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with over 31 years of experience as a therapist and counselor and soulful healer. I specialize in working with adults in midlife—typically between the ages of 32 and 75—who are navigating major life transitions and seeking a deeper emotional connection with themselves. Many of the people I work with are healing from Complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, or neglect, and are now noticing how old patterns and trauma triggers continue to show up in their adult relationships, careers, and self-worth. My therapeutic style is direct yet deeply nurturing and empathetic. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can be fully seen and supported, while also being challenged to take responsibility for your healing. I emphasize accountability and the importance of prioritizing self-care, self-love, and self-compassion—because those are the foundations for lifelong change. I draw on a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR, as well as Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and whole-body wellness practices. My clients often come to me because they are ready for meaningful breakthroughs rather than years of surface-level conversations. I have the ability to help people heal quickly and create lasting change, provided they are willing to show up and do the work. I am deeply invested in my clients and bring decades of experience, clinical expertise, and lived wisdom to every session. Above all, I always meet you where you are. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, and it is most important to me that you feel safe and comfortable with me—because true healing can only happen when you trust the person sitting across from you. ✨ If you are ready to uncover the roots of what keeps you stuck and begin moving toward the most authentic version of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Ferris Clare

New Haven, Connecticut - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online
In Person

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for helping individuals-especially women and young adults-heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, and generational wounds. With years of experience supporting people through life transitions, identity development, and mental health challenges, I bring a culturally responsive and empowering approach to therapy. My background includes working in private practice, social services, and facilitating professional development programs and workshops for individuals and organizations. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in my professional background and lived experiences, allowing me to intuitively connect with you through a lens of empathy, cultural awareness, and practical insight. My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, solutions, and the transformative power of healthy relationships. I believe that healing happens when people are given the tools to reframe their thinking, renew their minds, and reconnect with their values. Whether you're unpacking childhood wounds, exploring identity, or navigating complicated relationships, I meet you where you are-with empathy, honesty, and hope. I often integrate spiritual principles, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma -informed care to support you in your journey toward wholeness. People that work with me can expect a therapeutic space that feels real, safe, and affirming. You'll walk away with practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and the confidence to set boundaries and empowered choices. My goal is for you to not just survive your story-but to rewrite it with intention, healing, and joy. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey where your voice is honored, your goals are centered, and transformation is always, always possible.
