Ms Marcie Dimenstein

Clinical Social Worker

You have worked to get here but something isn't quite right. Together we will figure it out.

About Me

If you've achieved much but still feel a quiet unease, you're not alone. We can collaboratively explore what feels 'not quite right' and uncover the roots of your experience. Through our teletherapy sessions, I offer a steady, supportive space to clarify your feelings. We'll work together, at your pace, to understand your unique path forward. This approach suits those seeking to articulate unspoken struggles and find deeper meaning.

Approach

I work primarily with Caretakers or someone facing a life changing event. From my base in Hamden I offer online therapy in English, meeting at rhythms that fit your life and caregiving schedules. Sessions blend focused reflection, practical problem-solving around anxiety, grief, chronic illness or dementia-related family dynamics, and brief between-session check-ins to notice small shifts. Many find this paced, collaborative work brings clearer direction and reduces overwhelm.
