Jamie Arber, LPC — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Jamie!

I bring a person-centered and holistic approach, empowering you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful growth. I help you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood as we work together toward your goals.

My focus

I work with individuals and families navigating disability-related challenges, those healing from trauma, and individuals striving for personal growth. Many clients are connected to the disability community. I also support professionals and students overcoming barriers, improving emotional resilience, and achieving milestones.

My approach

My approach emphasizes your unique needs, strengths, and aspirations. Using EMDR and hypnosis, I address the challenges you face along with the underlying emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects that contribute to your well-being. Healing occurs when you feel genuinely seen and understood.

My communication style

My style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I prioritize active listening to ensure you feel truly heard and understood, fostering trust and safety. I use clear and compassionate language to help you explore your experiences and develop insight, while gently challenging you to grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey has been shaped by a lifelong passion for understanding human behavior and helping others overcome challenges. I deepened my commitment to supporting people in achieving meaningful growth and independence through work in community-based services for individuals with complex needs.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and empowering process tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and aspirations. We explore your values, challenges, and long-term vision to ensure goals align with what truly matters. Goals are realistic and achievable, broken into smaller, actionable steps.

Our first session

You can expect a welcoming, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. I focus on getting to know you, understanding your unique experiences, and exploring what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, concerns, and hopes for the therapeutic process.
