Stecker, Eileen

Welcome to our practice, where the pursuit of healing and growth is at the core of everything we do. Our journey begins with a deep understanding that each individual is unique, with a distinct story and set of experiences that shape their life. As a psychotherapist, I, Eileen Stecker, MA, LPC, am committed to creating a safe and compassionate environment where you can journey through your challenges, uncovering the underlying causes and finding the path to healing and transformation.

My Background and Qualifications

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience, I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. and a member of the Connecticut Counseling Association. My training includes certification in Body-Centered Gestalt psychotherapy, guided imagery work, sand tray therapy, and dream work. I am also certified in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and hold a Reiki II certification.

My Approach

As a therapist, I believe that each individual has the capacity to grow and reconnect with their true self. My approach is holistic, integrating body, mind, and spirit. I take a warm, engaging, and compassionate approach, aiming to create a sense of safety and support as we navigate the therapeutic process together. I believe that our life experiences are reflected not only in our thoughts and emotions but also stored in the body on a deep physical level. By acknowledging and addressing these physical manifestations, we can begin to release the emotional and psychological burdens that hold us back.

Services

In our practice, we offer a wide range of services to cater to the diverse needs of our clients. We provide individual psychotherapy sessions, couples/marriage counseling, telephone psychotherapy sessions, consultations, trainings, and workshops. Our services address a variety of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, life transitions, and more. We also offer specialized groups, focusing on stress reduction, mindfulness, and meditation.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a powerful, gentle approach designed to release overwhelming stress and its symptoms from the body. This method is particularly effective in addressing PTSD, trauma, and anxiety disorders. SE aims to create a sense of safety and release the physical tension associated with traumatic experiences.
