Veronica Aleman, LMSW

Veronica Aleman is a trauma-informed clinician who works with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma. Her approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout the healing process.

Veronica’s professional background includes community mental health, homelessness services, social services, crisis support, and work within the school system as a special education paraprofessional. Throughout her career, she has supported individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and systemic challenges. Her experience working directly with vulnerable populations has deepened her understanding of trauma, resilience, emotional regulation, and the importance of meeting clients where they are without judgment.

Her therapeutic style is person-centered and trauma-informed, incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. Veronica is passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space where clients can show up authentically, build coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and work toward meaningful change at their own pace. She believes healing begins through connection, trust, and recognizing the strengths clients already carry within themselves.

Julia Seaman, LMSW

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across school, community, and in-home settings. My background includes over a decade in education, vocational services, and family work, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how individuals and families navigate challenges across different environments. My approach is calm, relational, and strengths-based. I focus on creating a supportive space where clients feel understood and able to move at a pace that feels right for them. I integrate practical skill-building, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and insight-oriented work tailored to each individual's goals. I have extensive experience working with youth, especially in school-based settings, as well as individuals navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, executive functioning challenges, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting adults through career shifts, vocational exploration, and periods of personal or professional change.

I bring a grounded understanding of family systems and development, informed both by my professional work and my experience as a parent of three children in elementary, middle, and high school. Whether you’re coming in for yourself or a child or teen in your life, my goal is to provide a calm, supportive space where we can better understand what’s going on and work toward steady, realistic growth together.

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it” Reaching out to a therapist for support might be something you’ve considered for a while. It takes courage to reach out. Counseling is an aspect of healthy living that can help restore balance and peace internally. The process can be exhilarating, challenging, and profoundly rewarding as you gain clarity through increased awareness.

My areas of expertise include fertility/assisted reproduction, postpartum support, anxiety, depression, relational issues, work issues, burnout/stress, post traumatic disorder, and life transitions. I will utilize evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

I offer a person centered approach in a friendly atmosphere that is welcoming and supportive. Together we identify stressors, stuck points, fears feeding anxiety, and develop coping skills which are key for mental harmony. My experience and my training are here to serve you. Together we can find a way for you to feel better, live better, and love better.

I am Naiela Suleiman, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding. I have experience working with people across the lifespan, from age 9 years old to elder adults, with a strong focus on adolescents and young adults.

I utilize a range of evidence based practices with the goal of creating a tailored approach with each person I collaborate with. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness based therapies, and holistic practices are some therapeutic approaches I like to incorporate into sessions.

I received a Master’s of Social Work as well as a Bachelors in journalism and sociology from the University of Connecticut.

I believe people are the experts of their lived experiences and it is my honor to be part of your journey toward mental wellness and personal growth.

Rachel Verinis, LMSW

I’m passionate about helping preteens and teenagers navigate the challenges of growing up while building confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of who they are. I believe every young person has strengths and potential, even when they may not see it themselves. My approach is supportive, goal-oriented, and relationship-centered because real growth happens when kids feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected to the adults supporting them.

My experience living and working within schools and counseling settings in both the U.S. and abroad has given me a deep appreciation for how culture, family, school, and community shape a child’s emotional wellbeing. I hold a Master’s in Social Work, along with degrees in Secondary Education and Educational Leadership. I currently hold a Connecticut social work license and am working toward clinical licensure under supervision. Most of my professional experience has been within school settings as a school social worker, educator, and administrator, as well as in community-based prevention work.

I work closely with teens and families to support challenges including anxiety, school stress, self-esteem, friendships, life transitions, self-harm, school avoidance, and emotional ups and downs. I also specialize in educational and medical advocacy, helping families bridge the gap between schools, healthcare providers, and home life while navigating complex systems and supports. Above all, I want the young people I work with to feel heard, valued, and empowered, and for parents to know their child has someone in their corner who truly cares.
