Hi, I’m Maida Gobeljic, a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a Master’s in Social Work from Sacred Heart University and a Bachelor’s degree from Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). I specialize in working with children and adolescents from kindergarten through 18 years old, helping them navigate life’s challenges with empathy, humor, and hope.

​

Throughout my career in school-based and community settings, I’ve had the privilege of supporting youth struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, behavioral difficulties, family conflict, and adjustment issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based—I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where clients can truly be themselves.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed skills, Play Therapy techniques, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based interventions. I also incorporate family systems work, emotional regulation strategies, and creative activities to make sessions engaging and developmentally appropriate.

​

My goal is to meet each child and family where they are—helping them find balance, connection, and confidence both in and outside of therapy. I view every client as unique, and I strive to tailor sessions to honor their story, strengths, and culture.

​

 “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed—it means it no longer controls your life.”

I am accepting new clients in our Bristol office and via telehealth.
