About
I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care, focusing less on labels and more on helping my patients improve their symptoms and overall quality of life.
I am a psychiatric provider with a background in inpatient and community mental health care. I earned my BSN from Central Connecticut State University and my master's degree from the University of Saint Joseph. Since 2020, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, including those with dual diagnoses. I support clients seeking relief from symptoms and meaningful improvement in their overall quality of life.
I take a client-centered and individualized approach, understanding that each person's needs are unique. I prioritize listening, collaboration, and thoughtful treatment planning, working with clients to find practical, realistic strategies that support long-term symptom improvement and overall well-being.
I strive to create a supportive, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you build a lasting foundation for your mental health. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Building a trusting, compassionate partnership is the foundation of meaningful mental health care and lasting recovery.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of experience supporting adults in their mental health and recovery journeys.

I specialize in addiction medicine and treat alcohol and opioid use disorders, as well as a range of behavioral health concerns. My approach centers on respect, dignity, safety, and whole-person well-being.

I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be completely honest without judgment, because difficult seasons in life are not meant to be figured out alone, and when you desire it, faith and therapy can work together to support your healing and growth.
My name is Isis Lowhar, LMSW, and I am a social worker and therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Master's degree in Social Work. My experience includes working in both private practice and community-based programs, supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges and life experiences. I have supported individuals experiencing trauma, crisis and high-risk situations, relationship and family concerns, and challenges that come with different stages of life. These experiences have given me a broad perspective and a genuine appreciation for each person's unique story.
My approach is warm, compassionate, calm, encouraging, nonjudgmental, and direct. I utilize CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and elements of Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT). I'm especially passionate about anxiety and self-esteem. I also integrate Christian faith-based practices if desired.
My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling supported, encouraged, empowered, and hopeful. You do not have to figure it all out alone. You deserve a space where your experiences are met with compassion and without judgment. I am honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth. When you're ready, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach is to implement anxiety management tools to cope with stress caused by anxiety, along with cognitive behavioral therapy interventions to help my clients learn how to cope with negative thoughts and challenging feelings while learning how anxiety impacts thoughts.
I utilize mindfulness, distress tolerance skills, and thought records to recognize unhelpful thought patterns.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they have coping tools that are individualized and help them cope with challenging feelings, thoughts, and situations.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by actively coping throughout the day to manage stress and become aware of when their anxiety is triggered during a workday or in their personal lives with family and friends.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can write down any questions, concerns, or other information you want to make sure to share so we can incorporate it into your treatment.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Norwalk, CT can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Norwalk therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
