Julianne Kivlin

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive, and capable, yet struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, or relationship challenges. You may be used to caring for others, masking your needs, or pushing through instead of feeling supported. You’re looking for therapy that feels safe, real, and validating — not judgmental or distant — and you want to better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I work collaboratively to help clients understand emotional and relational patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build self-trust and healthier connections. My practice is affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I offer a supportive, honest, and affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve therapy that feels human, safe, and respectful of who you are.

Mariah Benjamin

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Many of my clients are young adults, POC, professionals and those coming to therapy for the first time. My clients look okay on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally by anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. They ruminate, struggle to say no, and live with a sense of pressure that never lets up. My approach is rooted in CBT, and I use techniques to retrain your brain, and defuse negative thought patterns. I guide individuals to identify unhelpful thinking, challenge internalized pressure, and set boundaries that align with their values. Clients can expect to feel more mentally clear, emotionally grounded, and in control of their choices—ultimately becoming the version of themselves they aspire to be.
