About
Hello, I am Dr Lisa Tonnessen. I have been working as a Counseling Psychologist in Connecticut for over 25 years. I am warm, empathetic, gentle, and supportive in my approach to helping individuals. I describe myself as open-minded and accepting. The goal of treatment is to empower the client with the confidence and skills to help manage and express emotions. I am open to working with teens and adults with issues related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, and adjustments. I am a client-centered therapist and think therapy should be a dedicated time for you to explore and express your thoughts and feelings. I am open-minded and supportive in my approach. I hope the therapy process can be a time to get to know yourself and explore how you can live your best life.
