Grief, anxiety, relationship issues, couples counseling, low self-esteem, overwhelm and stress are the concerns I work with, along with major life changes. Those can include looking after a relative who is ill or mourning someone who recently died. A recent breakup and conflict involving a partner, spouse or relative are other reasons people seek help.
Therapy may also help people who are preparing for marriage or starting to live with a partner, and anyone looking for personal growth or growth in their relationships can benefit.
I’m Melanie Fortin, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Cheshire, Connecticut. I see individuals, couples and families in person, through online therapy or in a hybrid of both. I aim to give clients a safe setting, support toward their goals and room to talk through what matters, and my approach is strength-focused.
