You’re the strong one, keeping it together for everyone else. But inside, it feels like you’re falling apart.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Specialized trauma and anxiety therapy for high-functioning women ready to stop people-pleasing, anxiety spirals and generational patterns, for good.
You’ve built a life, a career, a family and from the outside, you’re the strong one. But inside, it’s different: Trauma, Anxiety, Panic. Guilt. Exhaustion. This isn’t your fault. It’s fixable. Not by pushing harder, but by healing smarter.
Instar Healing offers an integrative approach to helping women like you who are done pretending they are “fine”. My approach blends trauma-informed therapy and evidence-based practices to help you process what’s beneath the surface, the part traditional talk therapy missed.
You don’t have to stay in survival mode. (did you even know you were?) Let’s get you grounded, resourced and fully here.
Anxiety, Trauma & EMDR Therapy for Professional Women in Farmington, CT
Hi, I'm Jenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CT + NY) | Founder of Instar Healing
You don’t need another therapist who hands you a to-do list of “shoulds.”
You need someone who gets it—who knows that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line, and that showing up at all is already enough.
My approach is integrative and relational, blending trauma-informed therapy, parts work, ACT, EMDR, somatic practices, mindfulness, and coaching into something deeply human. It’s modern, research-backed, and designed to meet all of you: mind, body, and spirit.
We’ll work together to shift the old patterns, soften the inner pressure, and reconnect you with the strength that’s already in you—because healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been.
Serving clients online throughout Connecticut & New York.

You Might Be Here Because…
You’re constantly anxious or overthinking
You panic easily and feel like you’re failing at being “fine”
You’re snapping at the kids, then feel guilty
You do everything for others, but feel disconnected from yourself
You’re high-functioning…and secretly exhausted
But...
I can help you…
Move past your past
Find contentment in yourself and with others
Have room for more fun and joy
Find the right partner for you or peace with the one you have
The proof of change will be in how you feel and the way others experience you.
This isn’t just talk therapy. This is healing from the inside out.
Find Your Path to Peace
You’re the strong one. But even strong women crack.
You’re the one who gets it done, shows up, keeps the peace, handles everything—and still lies awake worrying if you’re doing it all wrong.
You feel anxious, overwhelmed, and like you're constantly "on." And while everyone else leans on you, you're quietly falling apart.
You’ve lived through some stuff—maybe a chaotic childhood, toxic relationships, or emotional abuse. You’ve tried to shove it down, move on, stay busy. But it shows up anyway... in your relationships, your stress, your body.
At Instar Healing, we get it.
We help high-functioning, sensitive, over-it women break old survival patterns, heal relational trauma, and finally feel like themselves again. Our work is trauma-informed, somatic, and deeply human. It's not just talk—it’s transformation.
This doesn’t have to be your normal.
If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through life, we’re here to help you soften, heal, and build something different.
