Getting to know Jose Crego

I’m Jose Crego, LCSW, a psychotherapist in private practice in Portland, Connecticut. I help adults and professionals heal from trauma and addiction, and from the anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles that often travel with them. My approach is trauma-informed and depth-oriented. I draw on advanced psychoanalytic training, motivational and strengths-based methods, and practical skills that restore safety in the body and clarity in the mind. Together, we slow things down, map the patterns that keep you stuck, and build new ways to cope—so relief isn’t just possible, it’s sustainable. Before becoming a clinical social worker, I studied addiction counseling and have spent years working with complex substance-use histories and relapse cycles. I understand the pull of old habits and the shame that can follow—and I know change is possible with the right support. In session, you can expect a steady, non-judgmental partner who respects your pace and pushes only when it’s safe to do so. Whether your goal is sobriety, moderation, trauma integration, or simply feeling more alive, we’ll design a plan that fits your life—not the other way around.
