Maureen Connell

Maureen helps people who are navigating relationship concerns and LGBTQ-related challenges. She focuses on creating a straightforward, compassionate space to talk about what matters most.

Her approach blends practical tools with focused listening. She uses Gottman Method principles to help people improve communication and reduce conflict.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection patterns that affect relationships. Maureen often includes cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts.

She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Sessions tend to focus on small, useful changes a person can try between meetings.

She has helped people work through specific problems such as abandonment, body image, and family of origin issues. Maureen also supports clients dealing with substance concerns, domestic violence history, and post-traumatic stress in ways that prioritize safety and pacing.

Maureen aims to match the pace of treatment to each person. She works with people to set clear goals and track progress.

Her style is warm, direct, and practical, focused on building skills and stronger connections.
