About
I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal, grow, and to develop the tools that we need to find happiness and fulfillment in life.
Michael A. Roohr is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with individuals as well as couples and families. Michael has experience helping clients with depression, academic difficulties, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, self-harming behaviors, and adjusting to life-changing events. He completed his Master of Arts (MA) in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of St. Joseph.
Michael recognizes and respects the unique perspectives and backgrounds that each of his clients brings to the therapy room. This respect helps him to co-create long-lasting solutions to problems and to develop strengths that can form the foundation for a healthier future. Making the first step and reaching out for help is often an act of bravery that is to be respected and honored. Michael’s role as a therapist is to create an environment of acceptance, safety, and honesty for his clients where you can collaborate on building a new perspective and developing the tools to create long-lasting change.

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.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is collaborative and individualized. I find the best benefit in working collaboratively with my clients and focusing on the goals that they want to achieve and not the goals that I think that they should be achieving.
I teach the following tools in individual therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when their language changes and they start speaking more positively about themselves and about the world around them. They may also demonstrate more confident body language and speak more compassionately about themselves.
In their personal time, clients can supplement individual therapy through self-care tools and techniques, leisure activities, getting involved in hobbies and interests, and connecting with others to provide them with encouragement and support.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can just plan on being yourself and having an open mind to what you might be asked to try to manage the issues that brought you into therapy.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
