About Wynter Warshaw, MA, LMFTA

I minored in Psychology at The New School and hold a master’s degree In Marriage and Family Therapy from Fairfield University. My clinical training at Strategic Solutions in Milford, CT and Saint Augustine Academy in Bridgeport, CT, provided me with valuable experience working with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families.

Specializing in both couples and family therapy, I believe in a whole family approach, emphasizing the powerful role parents play in their children’s lives. My role is to help parents establish and clarify a plan to get back on track while giving them tools to take active roles in their children’s lives.

I have extensive experience working with couples facing a myriad of issues such as affairs, addiction, mental and physical illness. Behavioral interventions can be highly effective for couples in a short amount of time.

A welcoming and inclusive environment is imperative to the therapeutic process. I strive for a practice that provides equal parts safety, challenge, discovery and (potentially) transformation for my clients. My background as an actor allows me to fully immerse myself in your experience.

I believe in the inherent wisdom and strength of individuals, couples, and families. We all experience bumps along the road of life which can give opportunities for growth. There is great value in addressing our mental health with a trusted, empathetic provider. Effective communication is not always intuitive for couples and families, and seemingly simple steps can have profound impact. My approach integrates empathy and practical, evidence-based strategies to navigate challenges and foster growth. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, understood, and inspired to transform their lives.

If your car was broken you would bring it to a mechanic. If your electricity was out, you’d call your electrician. Why wouldn’t you do the same for yourself?
