Therapeutic Specialties:
I have particular interests in anxiety, depression, ADHD, the challenges of emerging adulthood, stage-of-life/role transitions, and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds/people of color. I am accepting patients for medication management, individual psychotherapy, and combination treatment (medications + talk therapy).
Therapeutic Approach:
As a person from a diverse background with advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry, I utilize a culturally-sensitive, developmentally-informed, and flexible treatment approach to help each person maximize their strengths to achieve fulfillment in work, relationships, academics, and personal identity and growth. I enjoy working collaboratively with other therapists, schools, and outside agencies when necessary.
After an initial consultation, I discuss my recommendations for a personalized treatment plan, which may include psychotherapy (talk therapy) with or without medications, medications alone, or referral to more specialized providers. My psychotherapy treatment approaches are informed by acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and supportive psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy. Treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction, life-work harmony, as well as relationship issues such as communication, conflict resolution, and infidelity.

Ashlyn Campbell, LMB, FSC
Massage Therapist and Feng Shui Consultant From: Salt Lake City, Utah Education: Massage Therapist from Utah College of Massage Therapy Master of Body Worker from Utah College of Massage Therapy Certification in Quantuam Massage from Massage Express Founder Pam Anderson Credentials: Feng Shui Consultant From Earth Home Feng Shui Massage therapist, specializes in injury massage and craniosacral therapy Intuitive Energy Healer |
Specialty:
I perform prenatal care, breath work, reflexology, acupressure, Reiki and rebirthing energy healing. I use in depth knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, and pathology to help people repair their mind, body and spirit through massage and energy healing.
Approach:
I am a healer. I read energy and help people manage their stress and heal hurts and pains they didn’t even know they were weighing them down. But when we are finished, they feel a lightness, a comfort, nourished in a way they had not felt before.
The work I do reaches the deep rooted stress of our epigenetic tendencies, karmic cycles, ancestral trauma and spiritual life.
When we cleanse our body’s chakras people feel lighter, stronger, and empowered. They take that strength into the world and it becomes their shield against toxins and an avenue towards peace and mindfulness.
What you can expect to experience in our work:
The main thing I teach people is to develop a trusting relationship with one’s own intuitive voice while simultaneously doing body movement and posture awareness.
You will gain a better understanding of where the chaos in your body sits and how it creates toxins in your life. We can clear those parts of you.
This work is vulnerable, we will find parts of you you may or may not have known consciously lives inside you. We will find those parts of your body and soul that hold you back from health and wellness.
People can ask any questions they want, this is collaborative, we go through the process together and develop trust and comfort. We explore posture, body functions, friendships and relationships, rest and sleep hygiene.
These are your sessions. You are the magic. I empower you to make this your experience and space to make liberating decisions and heal.
Approach to making space better:
As a Feng Shui consultant, I work with people in their space to curate the most complimentary environment to one’s needs and wants by arranging their home furnishing and décor to bring inner peace and tranquility.
Our homes and businesses are complete mirrors of our psyche, it’s important to be in a co-creative mindset with the energy of the space itself as we bring us and our things into it. Being able to read the energy of land, a home, or general environment; I can help you create the best use of your space to reflect the positive and healthy home you are looking for and living inside of.

Karen Hand, M.Ac., LA.c
Licensed Acupuncturist From: Education: Master’s Degree in Acupuncture (M.Ac.) from the New England School Of Acupuncture (NESA) Diplomate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology (Dipl. Ac., Dipl.CH) by the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) Credentials: Board certified and State of Connecticut Licensed Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist and Certified Dragon’s Way Instructor. Licensed Acpuncturist, L.Ac, in CT, NY and MA Works with: |
Therapeutic Specialties:
Acupuncture, Chinese Herbalism and Essential Oils, and Dragon’s Way Instruction
Therapeutic Approach:
After spending nearly 20 years working on Wall Street, meeting the stresses of city life and managing billions of dollars as a municipal money market trading desk manager, I learned what impact stress and the environment can take on each and every one of us. After an episode of back pain led to my experiencing the benefits of Eastern medicine and acupuncture, I immersed myself in the teachings of this several thousand year-old medical system and became passionate about sharing this knowledge to help as many people as possible.
Now having practiced this holistic approach to wellness for over eighteen years, I strive to bring the best tools to my practice to help empower individuals to awaken their bodies’ innate healing power. I feel the more people who know about these natural options to greater health, the more we will be able to advocate for ourselves and our families when it comes to our health.
My Chinese Herbal certification was through a three-year NCCAOM approved program under teacher Sharon Weizenbaum at White Pine Healing Arts in Amherst, MA. I have studied with the late Dr. Richard Tan on several occasions and utilize his Balanced Method system of acupuncture almost exclusively in my practice.
I completed an extensive training under Dr. Nan Lu, Elaine Katen and Irma Jennings of the Tao of Healing to bring the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to a greater number of people through a six-week Dragon’s Way meridian therapy qigong classes. The Dragon’s Way is a natural stress reduction and weight loss wellness program which began under Dr. Lu in New York City. I currently hold Dragon’s Way classes in Darien, Connecticut.
Expanding my expertise into the area of essential oils, I also studied Chinese medicine and essential oil use for holistic practitioners with Peter Holmes, L.Ac., founder of Aroma Acupoint Therapy.
