Making the first step and reaching out for help is often an act of bravery that is to be respected and honored.

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.

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.
