Online therapy in Connecticut

“You may have been told your scans look fine, but you know something is wrong. Maybe a concussion or brain injury turned your life upside down, and you're still waiting to feel like yourself again. Maybe chronic illness has quietly rewritten who you are, and grief has settled in around the edges of a life that looks nothing like you planned. You might be carrying medical trauma no one around you fully understands, or wrestling with an identity that shifted overnight. Perhaps you're navigating the exhausting invisibility of a condition others can't see, fielding doubt from doctors, loved ones, or even yourself. If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I work with people living with post-concussion syndrome, traumatic brain injury, chronic illness, and complex trauma. I understand, clinically and personally, how isolating and disorienting this road can be.”

“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”

“I work with high achieving teens and adults who want to uncouple their feelings of worthiness from how much they accomplish. I specialize in working with medical professionals and students at college preparatory boarding schools.”

“Couples”

“I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who look like they have it together, butttt internally feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable, yet caught in overthinking, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming. You might find yourself constantly in your head, questioning your decisions, or feeling like you “should” be fine, but aren’t. I support people navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and relationship patterns they’re ready to understand and change at a deeper level. My clients are curious, reflective, and willing to be honest with themselves; not looking for quick fixes, but for clarity, alignment, and meaningful change that lasts.”

“My goal is to help you feel more grounded and in control, reconnect with joy, and create relationships that feel emotionally alive and supportive. With couples, I specialize in helping partners who feel stuck in conflict or disconnected from one another reconnect, rebuild trust, and create a more emotionally supportive and cherishing relationship.”

“Do you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling like your mind constantly spirals to the worst-case scenario? I specialize in helping women with anxiety and trauma break free from constant overthinking, negative self-talk, and the pressure to chase the next achievement. I often work with women who appear “fine” on the outside but, behind closed doors, wrestle with worries about what could go wrong and a persistent feeling that they’re never doing enough. I support women in transforming unhelpful thought patterns, reducing anxiety, and learning how to quiet the mental spiral so they can start truly living. My goal is to help you create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and authentic not one driven by fear and anxiety.”

“I work with adults and couples who want to live more authentically and build lives that feel aligned with their values, relationships, and desires. Many of my clients are exploring intimacy, sexuality, pleasure, trauma recovery, relationship transitions, or personal growth. I also support individuals seeking ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of their healing process and emotional well-being.”

“I am an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a history of specialization in trauma and addiction therapy. I primarily work with two populations: individuals who want to change how they show up in the realm of intimacy/relationships and with couples for integrative sex and couples therapy. I provide help for relationship-related concerns including but not limited to: desire discrepancy (or hypo- or hyper-active libido); recovery from infidelity; erotic recovery after trauma; kind-affirming care; help to develop alternative relationship structures e.g. an open or polyamorous structure. I am certified in Gottman Levels 1 & 2 and have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.”

“Adults”

“Dr. Vahlsing is experienced in treating children, adolescents, and adults. She has specialized interests in treating all types of anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, grief issues, college stress, trauma, and developmental concerns.”

“I've had the privilege of working with a wide variety of diverse adult clients--perhaps like you! I provide individual and group therapy (currently not couples or family therapy).
