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.

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.

21 Years Experience
Online in Stamford, CT
Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
