Teletherapy for Connecticut

I am Dr. Robert Nesbitt, Jr., LCSW, founder of The Dover Counseling Center. At our center, we're dedicated to empowering individuals like yourself to achieve self-sufficiency and gain insight into the root causes of daily challenges. Whether you seek individual talk therapy, couples counseling, or family and group therapy, we are here to offer the guidance and support that you need.

My approach to therapy is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and draws on multiple theoretical approaches depending on the needs of the patient. Whether you are in crisis or simply dissatisfied with some aspect of your life, therapy can help by uncovering unconscious patterns and finding new ways to address unsettling internal states and interpersonal conflicts. These can include difficulties with coworkers and supervisors, family or romantic relationships, identity issues, unwanted dependencies, loss, loneliness, inertia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, rage, compulsive behaviors, and other self-destructive patterns.

Life has many unexpected twists and turns. Although you are doing okay, you recognize that being just “okay” is not good enough anymore.

Perhaps, you have experienced a bad break up, a recent divorce, job related stress, or anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do you want to become the best version of yourself?

My ideal client is someone who is currently lost or overwhelmed and wanting to come alive again after a major loss or transition. Or has been dealing with a physical illness, and now wants support in coming back into life in a new way. It can be easy to forget that we are not the lives we have created, we are so much more. Having help recognizing where you are going and why, and dealing with the problems that show up along the way can be necessary in looking at exactly what is happening, why they are happening, and what you want/need to change to make things so much easier to handle so you can bring in joy, peace, and your dreams.

Each individual has their own unique journey with mental health, wherever you are on this journey you deserve to experience your life as your best self. Are you finding it hard to relax, feeling overwhelmed by life's hurdles? Is your mind occupied by past trauma and scary situations and are you consumed by a sense of gloom about your future? Is it difficult to form and maintain relationships, or are you lacking enjoyment in your leisure activities? Perhaps you're suffering from a loss and the grief is impacting every aspect of your life in a way that feels consuming.

Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues? Do your emotions overwhelm you and make it challenging to achieve your goals? Do you feel like there has to be more to life than what you’re living? When you struggle with self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, even the simplest tasks become overwhelming. It can be difficult even to identify your goals, let alone find ways to achieve them. Raquel Martinez is an LMSW with over 15 years of experience. She specializes in helping clients address mental health concerns to achieve goals and build a fulfilling life.

Do you find yourself constantly lost in thought, imagining the worst outcomes, living in suspicion, paralyzed by decision-making, doubting your choices, and fearing errors? Such incessant worrying can lead to sleepless nights, impacting your personal life, relationships, and work performance. The root of excessive overthinking may be elusive, but it's clear that it stems from anxiety, which can also lead to depression. Your goal is to gain confidence, worry less, master your thoughts, make decisions more effectively, and live without stress.

Practice currently has new providers and is now accepting new clients. My goal as a therapist is to provide a, welcoming and non-judgmental space for us to join together to effectively address and resolve your specific concerns. In order to help you reach your true potential we must consider the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in working with the adolescent population and adults with anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, family therapy and couples counseling. I utilize various models such as CBT, DBT, Solution focused therapy and narrative therapy.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. That is why my therapeutic goal is to work with you to grow and gain new perspective so you can welcome change and accomplish your short/long term goals. As a therapist, I am warm, encouraging, supportive, and nonjudgmental, while using a sense of humor with a down to earth approach to counseling. I currently practice as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and am actively working toward being a Licensed Professional Counselor.

The stressful time we are living through may also contribute to your suffering. Please consider working with me to feel better. I offer daytime, evening and week-end hours in person in the office and telehealth.
