Elizabeth Aguilar-Dooley, LMFT — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

Seeking out therapy can be challenging on its own, yet you have taken the first step to finding that support, and I would be happy to be part of that journey with you. Welcome!

My focus

Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts, low mood, or overwhelming sadness? I work with individuals, youths, and families to navigate life's challenges and major transitions that they may be experiencing. Working together to create a plan that can support your goals to experience confidence in your growth.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change.

My communication style

As we work together, you will find that my communication approach focuses on having clear, honest and collaborative, and constructive conversations. My goal is to create an open and safe space for you to share challenges and not feel judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to be a part of someone's journey to growth. Wanting to be someone who could offer a place to share and talk through challenges without judgment and feel truly heard. This is true in my work with youth, families, and individuals.

My goals for you

Collaboration is very important to me, and when we work together, your voice in creating a plan that best meets your needs will be my priority. As we continue to work together, we will check in on your progress and update the plan to ensure we are focused on your continued growth and what you want to accomplish.

Our first session

In our first session, we will have the opportunity to get to know each other a bit more. Learn some of your history and what brings you to therapy. I am here to guide you and support you through the process and our work together. We will continue to build trust and connection as we continue to work towards your goals.
