Who We Help
Our therapists understand the complexity of the human experience, and know that the client-therapist relationship is the number one factor that determines a successful therapeutic outcome. As a result, each client at Greenwich Advanced Counseling is seen as unique, and our services are crafted to reflect that. Our goal is to know you, so we can create the a path to healing designed specifically for what you need.
You’ve Come to the Right Place
At Greenwich Advanced Counseling, we offer therapy for individuals, couples, and families, each with their own unique needs. Individuals come to us for support with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, body image, depression, and addiction—including adolescents navigating similar challenges. Couples seek help with communication, parenting, or resolving conflict, while families often need guidance through transitions, loss, or parent-adult child dynamics. No matter the context, we approach each client holistically—considering personal, relational, and spiritual systems that shape their lives.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a one-on-one, confidential process where a person works with a therapist to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, aiming to improve mental health and overall well-being. It provides a safe space for personal growth, coping strategies, and emotional support.
Those who seek individual therapy are looking to better understand themselves, navigate emotional challenges, or cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions. Therapy offers a supportive space to gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and foster personal growth and healing.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy helps partners navigate challenges in their relationship, such as communication issues, conflict, trust concerns, or major life transitions like becoming parents. It provides a supportive space to explore patterns, deepen understanding, and rebuild emotional connection.
Many couples seek therapy to strengthen their relationship, whether they’re facing ongoing difficulties or simply want to grow closer. Therapy can help both partners feel heard, improve how they relate to each other, and develop healthier ways of resolving conflict. The goal is not just to fix problems but to build a more resilient, satisfying partnership.
Family Therapy
Family therapy supports families in navigating relational challenges, communication breakdowns, and life transitions such as divorce, loss, or a child leaving for college. It creates a space where each family member can feel heard and understood while working toward healthier ways of interacting.
Families may seek therapy to address ongoing conflict, shifting roles, or the impact of individual struggles on the whole system. By exploring patterns and dynamics, therapy helps strengthen connections and foster mutual support. The goal is to create a more balanced, respectful, and connected family environment.
Conditions We Treat
Grief & Loss
Grieving the death of a loved one, a major life change, or unresolved past losses can impact emotional well-being. Grief counseling, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) help clients process pain and find meaning after loss.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma—whether from abuse, violence, neglect, or other life-threatening experiences—can have lasting emotional and physical effects. Trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and somatic-based therapies are commonly used.
Addiction Recovery
Substance use and behavioral addictions affect individuals and their relationships, often requiring long-term support and care. Relapse prevention, 12-step integration, solution focused therapy (SFT) and family support therapy.
Pre-Marital & Marital Support
Couples benefit from support at any stage—whether preparing for marriage or strengthening a long-term partnership. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Prepare and Enrich, and communication skills training.
Child & Adolescent Development
Young people face unique emotional, social, and developmental challenges, often needing support tailored to their stage of life. Find support through play therapy and adolescent-focused talk therapy.
Faith & Spirituality
For many, faith plays a central role in healing, identity, and navigating life’s challenges. Spiritually integrated therapy and narrative practices tailored to each client’s belief system and values.
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety can show up as worry, panic, physical tension, or difficulty concentrating, often tied to life stress or internal pressure.
We offer support through CBT, EFT, IFS and psychodynamic therapy.
Parenting Challenges
Parenting can be rewarding and exhausting—therapy offers tools for navigating discipline, boundaries, communication, and emotional attunement.
Support Offered: Parent coaching and attachment-based therapy.
Body Image & Eating Disorders
Struggles with body image, disordered eating, or self-esteem can deeply affect mental and physical health. Body-positive therapy and collaboration with medical providers when needed can help.
Depression
Depression can affect mood, energy, relationships, and motivation, making daily life feel overwhelming or unmanageable. Find peace through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based approaches.
Divorce & Family Transitions
Major family shifts such as divorce, remarriage, or blending families can bring up complex emotions and disrupt routines and relationships. Family systems therapy, co-parenting support, and transition counseling help families adjust and reconnect.
Career Coaching & Life Transitions
Work stress, burnout, career shifts, or finding purpose can create emotional strain and uncertainty.
Support Offered: Vocational counseling, and strengths-based goal-setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old do I have to be to become a patient?
We accept clients of all ages.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Sometimes a diagnosis may be relevant and helpful to your process, but not always. Your therapist will work with you to determine if a specific diagnosis is necessary.
Can therapy help even if I’m not in a crisis?
Absolutely. Some of the most profound transformation can happen when you are not in a crisis, because there is space to look at other areas of your life that may benefit from attention.
Can I switch from individual to couples therapy if my needs change?
Absolutely. We also have couples and families who engage in individual sessions if they feel it would be helpful to their overall process.
When should we consider couples or family therapy?
If there are specific issues or arguments that keep coming up despite your attempts to address them it is usually time to seek out a professional to help.
How long will it take to see progress?
You get out of therapy what you put into it. There is no timeline, but those who approach the process with openness, a desire to grow, and a willingness to challenge themselves will see faster results.
Is what my teen shared kept confidential?
For children and teens under 18 your therapist will consult with you on your child’s sessions and treatment approach. The specifics of what this looks like will be determined by the age of your child and the issue(s) they are working on.
