Louise Tonning, LCSW

En Español

My profession as a Clinical Social Worker began with training from Columbia University where I graduated with a Master of Science in Health and Mental Health. Licensed in New York and Connecticut, I began as the Executive Director of a halfway house for adults, mostly young adults, being discharged from a local hospital.  From there I grew as a clinician working in Family and Children agencies, and developed a particular interest in treating children, and now children and adults suffering from Trauma.  Childhood trauma travels with us into adulthood, sometimes with nasty roots.  No matter. They can be delt with.  The age range of those I currently serve is 4-60. 

 I practice from a client centered approach, meaning I am your consultant in your journey to your personal well-being.  Together we can work on:

 ADHD/Disruptive Behavior Disorders         Anxiety

School Problems                                        Depression                                            

Parental Separation &/or Divorce              Attachment Disorders

Dissociative Disorders                                   Domestic Violence

Gender Issues                                                Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Sexual Abuse                                                 Trauma: single incident or recurrent

 I hope you will find my office as welcoming and comfortable as I do.  It is located at 1177 High Ridge Road in Stamford, CT right off Exit 35 of the Merritt Parkway in the only building between the Trader Joe’s shopping center and the ACME shopping center.
