Kelly Tarascio, LCSW, PMH-C
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut, specializing in women's health and perinatal mental health. With over seven years of experience in the behavioral health field, I have had the privilege of working with individuals navigating perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and trauma.
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where my clients feel heard, validated, and empowered. I meet each individual where they are in their healing process, tailoring treatment to their unique needs.
To provide comprehensive and effective care, I integrate multiple treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), strengths-based approaches, empowerment techniques, solution-focused therapy, and processing therapy.
I have extensive experience working with women facing challenges such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, traumatic birth experiences, postpartum concerns, relationship conflict, and menopause.
I view therapy as a partnership—finding the right fit is essential for meaningful progress. I offer a complimentary consultation to explore your needs and determine how we can best move forward together.

Client Testimony
“Pregnancy was supposed to be a joyful experience, but instead, I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, and like I was losing myself. Kelly created a space where I could be honest about my emotions without guilt. She helped me process the ups and downs, manage the stress, and find ways to care for myself in the midst of it all.”
Client Testimony
“I felt lost in my relationship, stuck in cycles of miscommunication, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. Kelly helped me untangle the patterns, understand my needs, and rebuild confidence in my own voice. Her support gave me the clarity to navigate difficult conversations, set healthier boundaries, and finally feel more secure in myself and my relationships."
