Welcome—I’m Jay Souza-Erlandson (he/him), a licensed clinical social worker offering virtual therapy for adults across Connecticut. I have built a dynamic career working with people who are navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma—particularly betrayal trauma—and I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and military and veteran survivors of trauma.

Whether you are coping with the aftermath of sexual violence, the emotional fallout of rejection during your coming out process, or unresolved trauma from your time in service, I offer a space where your story is honored and your healing is the priority. I understand how disorienting and isolating it can feel when your identity, trust, or safety has been compromised—whether by someone close to you, an institution, or a culture that didn’t protect you.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed and identity-affirming care. I integrate therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and mindfulness-based practices to support nervous system regulation, boundary repair, and emotional healing. Every session is adapted to your individual pace and needs.

I provide therapy exclusively online, offering flexible and private access to support from wherever you are in Connecticut. My goal is to walk with you as you move toward stability, clarity, and greater self-connection—whether you’re healing from betrayal, combat trauma, institutional harm, or longstanding patterns of emotional distress.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to listen, to support, and to help you find your way forward with compassion and care.
