Ms Elizabeth M. Shea
Social Worker (Mental Health)
“A strengths based therapist specializing in treatment with children, adolescents, and adults.”
About Me
As a mental health social worker, I specialise in strengths-based therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I believe everyone possesses unique inner resources. In our sessions, we'll collaboratively uncover your existing strengths and build practical strategies to navigate life's challenges. This approach helps you harness your resilience, fostering confidence and well-being. I aim to create a supportive space where all ages can discover their potential and thrive.
Approach
Rather than focusing on problems alone, I guide sessions toward identifying what already works for you and using those strengths to make small, manageable changes. Sessions in my East Haven office are conducted in English, paced to your needs, and can include family members when helpful, with practical between-session steps to try at home. We set clear, achievable goals, track progress together, and adjust plans as we learn what supports you best. This approach often helps children, teens, and caregivers feel more capable and connected.
