Kristen C. Dew, LMFT, CST

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers and They/Them/Theirs

*Not currently accepting new clients*

My name is Kristen Dew and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist in Monroe, CT. I feel honored and privileged every day to help people work through struggles and see growth and change. From the second you walk into my office or I greet you on screen my focus is on understanding you, what you need, and helping you to grow. I think everyone is resourceful and resilient but there are blocks that prevent us from using those strengths. You already have what it takes to make change in your life and relationships, but sometimes need guidance to get there. Everyone struggles, life is hard, and there is no instruction manual.

In my office, you are free to fully express yourself. I welcome anyone who adheres to or deviates from the norm. I love working with alternative relationships, consensual/ethical non-monogamy, BDSM/kink, nerds/geeks/gamers of all kinds, vegans or vegetarians, outdoor enthusiasts, neurodivergent types, or those with other special interests that are an important part of your world. I also welcome diversity and I work from a (DEI) diversity, equity and inclusion framework. Social justice is very important to me. My clients would describe me as kind, curious, passionate, silly, and helpful. I’m excited to get to know you! 

Kristen is a Clinical Fellow member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), an AAMFT Approved Clinical Supervisor, a Professional member of the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), and a member of the AAMFT Queer and Trans Advocacy Network. Kristen teaches at Southern Connecticut State University in the Marriage and Family Therapy Department. Kristen is also EMDR Trained.

Therapist and Practice Manager:

Allison Goduti, LCSW

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Coming to the decision that a child in your life might benefit from therapy is a tough one. You may think, “they are just a kid,” or “maybe things will get better on their own,” and perhaps they may. When you and your child come to therapy, I will always greet you with warmth and calmness. I will help your child learn and practice skills to manage anxiety, anger, impulsivity, sadness, or to adjust to life’s changes. I know you and your child are doing the best you can with the tools available to you. Let’s load up those tool belts together!

Thank you for considering me as someone to walk with you on this journey. I look forward to hearing your story. YOU are the expert on you, your family and your experiences. I bring to the table my clinical knowledge and skills and we work as a collaborative team to help your child and your family gather tools and skills, reach goals, and grow as individuals and as a family.

Therapist:

Marcus Tart, MA, LMFTA

Pronouns: He/Him/His or They/Them/Theirs

I am an MFT graduate from the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Southern Connecticut State University. I have a focus on helping folks who have LGBTQIA+ and intersectional identities.

When we meet for therapy, I will listen with empathy and respect so that we can co-create a space to talk about and process emotion. I think about the structures and systems that affect you including your partnerships, families, other interpersonal relationships, community and broader society to help you make sense of who you are and what you are bringing to therapy. I believe that everyone has a story to be told and that story can be different from the messages we receive about ourselves from our surroundings.

My job is to foster a space where your story can be expressed freely. I believe it is an honor and a privilege to join anyone on this journey of growth and welcome anyone at any point on this journey.
