I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be completely honest without judgment, because difficult seasons in life are not meant to be figured out alone, and when you desire it, faith and therapy can work together to support your healing and growth.
My name is Isis Lowhar, LMSW, and I am a social worker and therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Master's degree in Social Work. My experience includes working in both private practice and community-based programs, supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges and life experiences. I have supported individuals experiencing trauma, crisis and high-risk situations, relationship and family concerns, and challenges that come with different stages of life. These experiences have given me a broad perspective and a genuine appreciation for each person's unique story.
My approach is warm, compassionate, calm, encouraging, nonjudgmental, and direct. I utilize CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and elements of Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT). I'm especially passionate about anxiety and self-esteem. I also integrate Christian faith-based practices if desired.
My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling supported, encouraged, empowered, and hopeful. You do not have to figure it all out alone. You deserve a space where your experiences are met with compassion and without judgment. I am honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth. When you're ready, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

As a parent, I relate with the challenges the parents face raising their children. There is no book to teach how to be a perfect parent and we all learn by experience.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Connecticut with six years of experience providing therapy and case management. I earned my MSW from Yeshiva University's Wurzweiler School of Social Work in 2020. I've worked with children, adolescents, families, adults, and seniors, and I specialize in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I also provide therapy to adults and seniors experiencing depression, anxiety, and substance use challenges. My goal is to empower every client and family with a safe, supportive environment that fosters resilience and growth.
I use evidence-based methods to support parents, children, and families, including Parent Training in Behavior Management, social skills training, family-based therapies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with the whole family to build lasting change. With adults, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to strengthen motivation for change.
I recognize the challenges families face raising children with developmental disabilities. My approach equips parents with skills to support their child at home, school, and in the community. With adults and seniors, I use Motivational Interviewing to build insight and resilience. I encourage you to schedule an appointment so we can work together.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.
Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Fairfield therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Fairfield, CT is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Fairfield, CT will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
An abusive relationship is but one example of a traumatic experience. And John’s specific experience, which we just detailed above, depicts just several of many harmful effects that can come with trauma. Trauma is defined as an event or experience that causes one psychological distress. It can come in the form of an abusive relationship—mentally or physically—or it can come in the form of a great loss (be it the loss of a loved one or a beloved job), a natural disaster, a near-death experience, exposure to violence, and more. And, as you can see in the example above, it can leave one struggling to resume life.
