It's Time to Grow
meet Alaina Fusco LMFT
Hi! I'm Alaina, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working virtually in Connecticut.
I’ve been doing this work for over 7 years, and in that time I’ve only grown more passionate about helping people feel better and live fuller, more balanced lives.
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. My goal is for sessions to feel authentic, collaborative, and direct. I'll meet you where you’re at, and you can always count on me to be straightforward, telling you what you need to hear, not just what is comfortable. There’s plenty of compassion and warmth in the room, and often some humor too because I truly believe it is healing.
I don’t see people as “stuck” when they come to therapy. Life throws a lot at us, and despite all your best intentions things got tough. That’s what led you here. Our work is about getting to the root of the problem and identifying what’s been holding you back. The goal will be real transformation that will ultimately help you to improve your life, your relationships, and your mental health. We’ll take it one step at a time, together.
Specialties
Integrative Mental Health is at the core of the work I do. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, working as a system the makes up our overall health and wellness. No stone goes unturned when it comes to identifying the different areas of your life that may be integrated into your mental health journey. We explore things like family relationships and attachment styles, and also your relationship to nutrition, exercise and sleep patterns. This way you are being treated as a whole person. Think about it, if you aren't sleeping well for extended periods of time, that's bound to have an impact on your mental health in some capacity, right? Together take that into consideration and try to make improvements.
I've worked with many clients covering a variety of topics over the years. Below you can take a look at some of my areas of interest to see if we are a good fit.
