Welcome to Your Village Journey Psychological & Coaching Services!
Your wellness journey begins here.
Our practice is comprised of clinical psychologists, who are doctoral level providers extensively trained in evidence-based practice, diagnostic assessment, and principles of change and growth. We provide a full range of psychotherapy and consulting services that are individually tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
Our practice is currently accepting new clients! To schedule a 15-minute complementary consultation, an initial intake appointment, or to learn more about our services, please email us at [email protected].
Who: Our clinical practice focuses on work with adults, couples, and adolescents. We have specialized experience working with parents, veterans, and helping individuals optimize career or performance goals, including those in creative industries. YVJ is a fully inclusive practice and we welcome individuals from diverse identities and backgrounds.
What: We believe that every person and every therapy relationship is unique. We offer individualized, flexible plans to help meet your needs and goals. Both focused episodes of care and longer-term working relationships are available. Your individual preferences and goals will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation.
Where: YVJ is currently a virtual, telehealth practice, which helps increase access and maximize flexibility. Our providers are licensed in both Connecticut and New York, with plans to expand services through interjurisdictional compacts in the future. If preferred, we may be able to offer concierge services into the office or home.
