Erica Iyamu-Osagie, lcsw
BIO
My name is Erica Iyamu-Osagie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing psychotherapy for over 12 years with child, adolescent and adult populations in various mental health settings including residential, inpatient and individual & group OP settings. I attended the University of Connecticut where I obtained my bachelor’s degree, which led me to the University of Connecticut School of Social Work where I obtained a MSW degree specializing in social work policy and international social work. I have a unique interest in providing individual and group supportive & psychotherapy for older adolescent, collegiate and adult populations who may struggle with depression, trauma, PTSD, internalized and somatic disorders, substance use, transitional issues and other challenges. I possess a heightened respect for cultural relativism and believe that a person's culture sets their foundation. I am highly skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care (TIC), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Process/Psychodynamic Therapy and anger management. I am thrilled to join Andrea Quick Counseling & Mediation and I hope to assist people in strengthening their emotional health by encouraging them to become the best version of themselves.
Melanie Bellizzi, LCSW
BIO
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut, I offer office and telehealth therapy services to adults and adolescents. With a focus on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and substance use disorders, I provide support and guidance to help my clients lead healthier lives.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to assist clients in making progress towards their goals. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, fostering a safe and empathetic environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns.
I specialize in working with individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health issues, substance abuse, domestic violence, trauma, child welfare concerns, aging, and relationship issues. I offer counseling, support, and resources to improve my clients' quality of life.
My communication style is client-centered and supportive. I prioritize active listening and create a non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves. I adapt my approach to meet each client's unique needs, recognizing their diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Nancy Kelly, LCSW
BIO
I am a licensed clinical social worker who is dedicated to helping individuals work through challenging times in their lives.
I practice trauma-informed care and am a person-centered therapist. I approach each session with empathy and understanding, taking into account the unique experiences and needs of each individual. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their behavior, and develop the skills and tools they need to achieve their goals.
One of my specialties is working with older adults, embracing the aging process with positivity while navigating the challenges presented by the natural changes of growing older. I am happy to be a participating member of Medicare.
I am passionate about working to counsel and support caregivers in their dual role of loving and caring for the aging.
Let me help you resolve past trauma, whether it be from one event or many, including childhood trauma. Let me help you reduce the impact trauma has on your life, your emotions, your relationships, and your choices. Let's apply evidenced-based modalities to achieve this, including CPT (cognitive processing therapy) and trauma-focused CBT. I accept Tricare and have a wealth of experience working with adult survivors of childhood trauma, military veterans, and intergenerational and historical trauma survivors.
