WELCOME TO SpireTHERAPY RIDGEFIELD, CT & WESTPORT, CT

Hi there, and welcome to SpireTHERAPY! I’m Denise Santangelo, founder of SpireTHERAPY and passionate believer that therapy should be practical, empowering, and even a little inspiring.

At SpireTHERAPY, we do things differently. We use our patented SpireMETHOD, a comprehensive, curriculum-based therapy program that offers personalized one-on-one therapy for kids ages 4 to 18—and yes, we work with adults, too!

But we know therapy isn’t just about what happens in a session. That’s why we also provide dedicated parent support sessions—led by me—to give you real-life strategies you can use at home. These sessions help you reinforce your child’s skills, support their self-regulation, and navigate all the twists and turns life can bring.

Beyond individual therapy, we believe connection heals. That’s why we offer dynamic workshops and group therapy for kids and teens. In these groups, they discover they’re not alone, and they build essential skills like emotional regulation, impulse control, executive function, social skills, and emotional intelligence. Together, they gain confidence and practical tools for everyday life.

And we haven’t forgotten about parents! We also offer workshops for parents of adolescents and teens. You’ll learn the same strategies your kids are practicing, so you can support them, reinforce their skills at home, and feel connected to a community of parents on the same journey.

At SpireTHERAPY, we’re here to help your whole family grow, heal, and thrive.

Thanks for visiting our website; we’re excited to be part of your journey.
