Justine Astacio | Lotus Theory LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
We offer online therapy for clients who prefer the flexibility of meeting from home or are located outside of the immediate area. Virtual sessions maintain the same thoughtful, somatic-based approach as in-person work, with a focus on both emotional and physical awareness.
Even in an online setting, we guide clients in noticing how stress and emotions show up in the body, while building practical tools for regulation and support. Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and designed to help you feel more steady and connected, wherever you are.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work from a collaborative perspective with teen and adult clients over online therapy. My approach is integrative, drawing from relational, family systems, behavioral, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed modalities to help clients better understand themselves, shift longstanding patterns, and build more fulfilling lives. I value a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, honesty, and mutual engagement. I especially enjoy working with clients who are motivated for growth—those who are ready to do the work of developing insight, building emotional resilience, and making meaningful shifts in their lives. Generally weekly appointments are recommended, though some clients benefit from more frequent meetings.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After decades of providing psychotherapy and assessment in offices, I’ve moved recently (2019) into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too. Save yourself a trip away from work or home!

Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
I offer individual, couples, and group Gestalt psychotherapy to adults ages 25 and older, including autistic adults, individuals with ADHD, learning disabilities, and other neurodivergent ways of being in the world. Many of the people I work with are struggling with anxiety, sadness, loneliness, shame, burnout, overwhelm, relational difficulties, uncertainty, or a persistent sense that they do not quite belong.
Gestalt psychotherapy is a present-centered, experiential form of therapy that helps people deepen awareness of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, needs, and ways of relating to themselves, others, and the world around them. Rather than focusing exclusively on insight or problem-solving, we become curious about what is happening right now and what emerges between us in the therapeutic relationship.
During sessions, I may invite you to participate in experiential exercises, known as experiments. Experiments are never imposed; they are collaboratively created and designed to help you explore, express, and deepen awareness of whatever you are experiencing in the moment. This may involve slowing down, attending to bodily sensations, noticing shifts in energy, exploring emotions, examining relational patterns, or giving voice to aspects of yourself that have been pushed aside.
Over time, many people develop greater self-support, emotional awareness, authenticity, and trust in themselves. The goal is not to become someone different, but rather to reclaim and integrate parts of yourself that may have been hidden, rejected, or forgotten, allowing you to live with greater freedom, connection, and wholeness.

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After trauma, healing begins with understanding your experience. Trauma isn't just the event; it's the inability to make sense of what happened, often leaving you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy relationships. Whether or not you recognize childhood abuse or neglect, its effects show up subtly. You found a way to survive an absent, rigid, or abusive dynamic, but everyday life can still trigger those old wounds. You might feel a loss of control, carry deep self-doubt, or constantly put others first to your own detriment. If you are wondering how to help yourself and take the next step, you do not have to navigate this alone.
It takes immense courage to seek therapy when carrying trauma or pain. You do not have to carry it alone anymore. In our sessions—using EMDR with other modalities, we will work as a collaborative team at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. You are always the driver here. Together, we will build the lasting tools you need to reclaim your life.
I know how scary reaching out is—I've been in your shoes. Years ago, navigating trauma, divorce, and family hardships, I resisted restarting therapy. But taking that leap helped me rebuild an empowered version of myself. You deserve to feel lighter and in control again, too. Contact me today and lets see if we're a good fit.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering telehealth counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. A primary specialty of our group is working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, either around sexual and gender identity questions directly or around other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, that are informed by sexual and gender identity. We work with many individuals who are gender non-conforming, transgender, or gender queer, as well as their families. We make no assumptions about your or your child's gender when you come to our practice, but rather our goal is to listen and help you navigate how best to move forward either individually or as a family. Part of our work also encompasses queer relationship counseling, as well as non-traditional relationships, such as open and polyamorous relationships.
A second speciality area of ours is offering evidenced based treatment, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for emotion and behavior regulation. Clients come to us struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, attention and organization difficulties, and/or self injury. We provide practical tools, skills and techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more effectively.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.
