debra koenig

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Debra Koenig is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Westport, CT with a tele-health practice in New York. Clients often seek psychotherapy because something feels “off” in their lives or there are struggles which develop as a result of developmental and life transitions in their families. Unexplored behavioral and emotional responses can keep us feeling “stuck” and prevent us from fulfilling relationships and careers. Each client is unique and there is no such thing as “one size, fits all” therapy. Successful therapy is a collaboration between the client and therapist. I provide both long-term treatment as well as shorter term support for clients facing a major setback/transition.

Hayley Goodrich

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

It's normal to have ups and downs in life, but when dissatisfaction with where you're at becomes chronic, that's a sign that something needs attention. Change is possible as we come to know ourselves more deeply and as we broaden our capacity to weather the vicissitudes of life. Wherever you are in your own process, I would be honored to join you in the challenging but deeply rewarding work of developing that inner knowing. Reach out for an initial consultation to see if we're a fit.
