Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have experience in community support services, inpatient and outpatient treatment, emergency departments, crisis management, and psychiatric residential programs.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

My name is Shirley Bradley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Woker in the state of CT and a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice in the state of SC. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2012. I am a very well-rounded therapist, working with patients with substance abuse, psychiatric issues, depression, anxiety, family therapy, children in crisis and hospice/end of life planning with patients and families. I also have a lot of experience with grief/bereavement support groups.

I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I am a psychotherapist, solution-focused, person-centered, and mindful. I use a heart-centered approach and at times may use art and imagination in working with you. I look forward to working together to create a plan in order to reach your goal(s). By asking questions about what they would like to accomplish. Then providing or suggesting several options that are specific to their needs. I may suggest homework, worksheets, journaling, or art. Finally, work together to find the best solution and work on the most important goal first.

Great to meet you! I believe mental health care is most effective when it is built on a foundation of mutual respect, active listening, and genuine support. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, so I prioritize a relationship where you feel heard not just as a patient, but as a person.

If jealousy, overthinking, or emotional insecurity are taking over your relationship—and your sense of stability depends on your partner’s words, actions, or reassurance—you’re not alone.

Sometimes these struggles come from your own fears and reactions, and sometimes from being in a relationship shaped by a partner’s jealousy, control, or emotional unpredictability. Sometimes—both.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping individuals struggling with jealousy, overthinking, and emotional intensity in relationships.

If you find yourself constantly needing reassurance just to feel okay, getting thrown off by your partner’s words, actions, or even small things, and stuck in cycles of insecurity that take over—you’re not alone. These patterns can feel overwhelming—but they are understandable, and workable.

I’m especially drawn to this work because I understand how consuming these experiences can be, and how exhausting it is to feel like your sense of stability depends on someone else—like your peace of mind depends on another person. This is the kind of work I focus on—and it’s absolutely something that can change.

Relationships in which one or both partners feel trapped in cycles of jealousy, control, and constant reassurance-seeking can cause destabilizing overwhelm, isolation, and damage to self-esteem. These patterns can feel consuming—but they are understandable, and workable.

Clients who are truly ready to move beyond temporary relief can create lasting change in how they think, feel, and relate to others.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, supported, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, and I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are without fear of judgment. I understand that many people develop ways of coping that once helped them survive difficult experiences, even if those patterns no longer feel helpful today.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions using approaches such as EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I view healing as a mind-body process, and together we work to better understand your experiences, build emotional resilience, and help you reconnect with your strengths and sense of self.

My goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and capable of creating meaningful change in your life.
