About
Feeling lost can make it hard to know how to begin helping yourself. I invite a supportive and collaborative process in therapy, so that you don't have to navigate challenges alone.
I'm Terri, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in hospital, school, and home settings. I have worked with individuals facing challenges with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, grief, life transitions, and more. My goal as your clinician is to provide an opportunity to create positive and effective change.
My clinical approach combines Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you develop practical skills, increase self-awareness, and build healthier behavioral patterns. These methods are tailored to your individual needs so we can focus on the steps that move you toward your goals.
I look forward to helping you build a balanced life that supports your growth and wellbeing

As a child, I always wondered why certain things always seemed to happen to me. As an adult, I learned how to use these experiences to be a better person. As a therapist, I learned that these experiences taught me to be empathetic and help others who are dealing with similar circumstances.
My name is Karlene Chisholm. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Connecticut. I have had the honor and privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples—both young and old—for the past 27 years. I have experience working with children and teens (ages 6–19), young adults, couples, and older adults. I have worked with a range of concerns, including ADHD, ODD, grief and loss, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and marital issues.
When working with clients, the first step toward successful treatment is creating a safe environment where they can fully engage in the therapeutic process. Once that engagement is established, we can work together to develop treatment goals, encourage behavioral change, and implement appropriate therapeutic approaches.
As a therapist, I believe that my clients already possess the tools they need within themselves to heal and grow. My job is to help facilitate that change and support them throughout the process.
