Kurt Arsenault, LCSW — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Kurt!

If you're navigating life transitions, exploring relationship issues, or understanding persistent patterns and their emotional toll, I may be able to help. I have a nonjudgmental and client-centered approach.

My focus

I work with adults facing life transitions, professional or familial issues, relationship challenges, persistent emotional patterns, and a desire to better understand and accept themselves.

My approach

My approach is eclectic and informed by Psychodynamic theory while drawing on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and Mindfulness practice. I tailor my methods to your needs and collaboratively determine a path to positive growth.

My communication style

My communication style is empathetic, authentic, and direct. I honor each individual's right to be communicated with honestly and believe in creating a space where you feel heard and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been curious about what makes us who we are. That curiosity led to an interest in self-exploration and a desire to better understand the human mind, our emotions, and how our interactions impact us. I became more aware of the ways people struggle and wanted to help.

My goals for you

Through actively listening and providing honest feedback and support, I strive to help you set and reach your treatment goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. You can ask me any questions about me as a therapist and how we may work together. We'll discuss as much of your background as you're ready to share and what brings you to therapy. If you feel comfortable moving forward, we can discuss your goals for treatment.
