Joanne Assarsson

Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I take a compassionate, whole-person approach. I’m not here to treat just symptoms. I want to understand you. That means looking at your mind, body, stressors, routines, relationships, and everything that shapes your daily life.

I believe care works best when we do it together. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for and build a plan that fits your needs, whether that includes medication, therapy support, or practical day-to-day strategies. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and steadier as you move forward.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
