Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Being a therapist is a great privilege. I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to understand what is happening in their life and why they are struggling. Together, we'll try to understand what is creating the trouble - including perhaps some unconscious patterns that are at work - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and work through what can be done. I create a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment for counseling where we can talk about anything at all without judgment, and in total privacy.

Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Recent events, and especially the pandemic, have shown how essential mental health is for all of us. I believe strongly in access to care, which is why using both telehealth and insurance are important. I'm also dedicated to evidence-based approaches that are specifically focused on each person or couple. There's no 'one size fits all' in terms of what approach we use, as long as you can see it being helpful to you and relevant to what you need. Please see below for more information about how I can help. And if you'd like a consultation, please reach out.

Tracy Feldman-Ashdale
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to help clients create change in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable. I combine accountability with warmth and support, helping women move beyond all-or-nothing thinking and develop habits that fit their real lives.
I also bring a highly personalized approach to each session. I understand that every woman’s relationship with health, stress, and self-care, and relationships is different, which is why I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, confidence, consistency, and trust in themselves—not just temporary motivation.
Clients often appreciate my ability to balance emotional insight with practical strategies, creating sessions that feel both supportive and empowering.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples Therapy, Affair & Betrayal Recovery, Certified Sex Therapy, Certified Discernment Counselor
My practice is devoted exclusively to Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling. I work with couples who feel stuck in painful patterns—repeating the same arguments, feeling emotionally or sexually disconnected, struggling with conflict about money, or trying to recover after an affair or other betrayal of trust.
I meet with couples in-person in my peaceful, private Ridgefield, Connecticut office. This comfortable setting allows couples to step away from everyday distractions and give some of the most important work of their lives the attention it deserves.
My approach is active, direct, and compassionate. Rather than simply discussing what went wrong, we identify the negative cycle affecting your relationship and develop practical steps each partner can take to respond differently. I help both people look beyond blame, take meaningful ownership, and begin rebuilding communication, emotional safety, intimacy, and trust.
Affair & Betrayal Recovery is an important focus of my practice. I help couples navigate the intense emotions and difficult questions that can follow infidelity while determining whether—and how—the relationship can heal.
My specialized work also includes:
Certified Discernment Counselor — I offer a structured process for couples in which one partner is leaning out of the relationship while the other is leaning in, helping them gain greater clarity and confidence about the direction of their relationship.
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist — I help couples address concerns related to emotional connection, intimate and sexual connection, differences in desire, communication about sex, perimenopause, menopause and andropause changes, and other challenges affecting their sexual relationship.
Financial Couples Therapy — I help couples understand and address the relationship patterns, emotions, values, and communication difficulties that can make money a source of conflict or disconnection.
My advanced training includes in-person trainings with: Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman for the Gottman Method, Dr. Sue Johnson and George Faller for Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Dr. Bill Doherty, The Doherty Approach. Also in-person trainings for the work of mindfulness teachers Pema Chödrön, Kristin Neff, and Christopher Germer.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
We will work together to help you make positive changes to your life—healthier, more stable, productive and fulfilling! With each of my clients, I work to build a relationship based in trust and authenticity where you can feel both safe and challenged—safe knowing you can talk openly and will be heard and understood, not judged, but also challenged to make the changes you want to make. Making those changes is more likely when you find a therapist who is empathetic—someone with whom you can connect and trust. Your full potential is always within reach and a therapeutic relationship based in sincere, empathetic, and authentic dialogue is healing. Call me today for a free, phone consultation and get started on a better and brighter present and future.

10 Years Experience

Bridgeport is Connecticut's largest city and one of the starkest examples of urban poverty in one of America's wealthiest states, with high rates of crime, poverty, and persistent economic inequality that create significant and underserved mental health need across the population. The city's majority Black and Latino communities have been most affected by decades of deindustrialization and disinvestment, and access to the quality mental health care available in wealthier Connecticut communities remains difficult for many Bridgeport residents. Bridgeport Hospital, part of Yale New Haven Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers offer some publicly funded care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship stress, and the chronic psychological toll of living in a community where economic precarity is widespread and systemic barriers to well-being are persistent.
