Melissa Mcweeny

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I help women move through fear, self-doubt, and old patterns so they can step into clarity, confidence, and fulfillment — both personally and professionally. Many of my clients are navigating transitions like ending relationships, redefining careers, or growing businesses while trying to protect their mental health. Together, we focus on strengthening self-trust, setting boundaries, and creating a mindset that supports lasting change. As a therapist and mindset coach, I combine evidence-based tools with forward-focused coaching to help you move from awareness to action — and build the confidence to trust yourself again.

Stephanie Langlais

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I currently work in a school setting, which has given me a strong understanding of how stress, emotions and behavior show up in everyday life-not just in therapy but at home, school and work.

I connect easily with people who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like they've always had to "hold it together" for everyone else. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable being yourself without judgement. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you better understand your patterns while building practical tools to feel more in control of your life.

Alyiah Brown

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I’m Alyiah, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I provide therapy that is warm, direct, and actually useful in real life.

I help clients who feel stuck in patterns—overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, or relationship cycles—and want clarity on how to move differently. My background in psychology and criminology helps me quickly connect patterns so we’re not just talking, we’re understanding and shifting what’s keeping you stuck.

If spirituality is important to you, we can also integrate that into your work in a way that feels aligned and supportive.
