Christy George

Christy George (she / her) is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.  As a mother of two children who are both full time students living on campus, she has an empathetic perspective related to the challenges of college life (trying to make new friends, academic demands, social pressures, uncertainty of direction, etc.)  As an empty nester, she also has an empathetic perspective related to the challenges that accompany parenting from a distance (the worrying, difficulty letting go, trying to trust their judgement, praying for their safety, etc.)   The journey beyond high school can be tricky, especially so when a student’s life experiences may have included trauma or stressors beyond their control.  Her work with youth and families in Connecticut’s foster care system over the past 26 years has provided her lots of insight into the power of belonging, connectedness, overcoming adversity and resiliency.  She embraces a strength-based, solution focused approach to counseling (and life in general, actually).  She is intentional about showing up to each session with an attitude of gratitude, hopefulness, and positivity.  She truly believes that anyone can create the life they desire with the right resources, support, and guidance.

Christy graduated from Quinnipiac (Bachelor’s Degree) and Fairfield University (Master’s Degree).
