Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. We are a group of providers passionate about working with individuals who want to create their life worth living.
A 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.
Another primary 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 practice tools, skills and techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more effectively. We are focused on providing effective care for anyone who wants to make change in their life and reduce suffering.

5 Pointes Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, ACS, CST
Hi, I’m Tammy Wagstaff, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hardest moments. I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation—one where you don’t have to filter your thoughts or carry the weight alone. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and grounded in real-life strategies that support healing and growth.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or questions around intimacy and identity, I create a nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s going on and move toward feeling more connected—to yourself and to others.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. If you're ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.
