Getting to know Heather Agid

Welcome! I'm Heather Agid, an LCSW practicing in Connecticut. If you're tired of faking a smile to get through the day or can't wait for bed as soon as you wake up, I want to help. I take a realistic, down-to-earth approach that highlights my clients' strengths while understanding their difficulties, providing valuable tools they can use independently for years to come. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University. My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, viewed through a trauma-informed lens. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and accredited in The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) and Circle of Security. I combine therapies, theories, and techniques to meet each client's unique needs and goals. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young to middle-aged adults. My primary focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. I pride myself on being an empathetic and caring yet direct and honest therapist. I want my clients to feel supported, rooted for, and believed in, while also being challenged to go beyond what they're used to. To foster long-term healthy change, I help clients achieve higher levels of coping, functioning, and communication by teaching lifelong skills and techniques to manage their symptoms. My journey to mental healthcare began in childhood, during my parents' divorce. Meeting a therapist for the first time as a scared and confused kid was life-changing and inspired me to follow in her footsteps.
