Are you a parent in Newington, CT struggling to understand your child’s emotional outbursts, anxiety, or defiance? Feeling like nothing works, even after trying everything? You’re not alone—and help is closer than you think.

I’m Karellyn, a trauma-informed child and family intern therapist with a passion for helping overwhelmed parents and emotionally struggling children find their way back to connection and calm. With a background as a Marine Corps veteran, I bring a grounded, structured, and compassionate approach to complex family challenges. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who experience anxiety, mood swings, school issues, and behavioral outbursts, as well as parents navigating stress, trauma, and parenting fatigue.

I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based strategies, and family systems work to uncover the “why” behind your child’s behaviors and give you clear, practical tools that restore peace at home. Whether you're facing childhood trauma, family conflict, or parenting burnout, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth and expertise.
