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.

As a lifelong learner who values authenticity, I believe that even through life’s challenges, we can discover our resilience, deepen our self-understanding, and create meaningful change. I see therapy as a collaborative process rooted in trust and connection, where we can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels true to who you are.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Anthropology. As a former student-athlete and youth sports coach, I bring a unique perspective to my work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, and questions of sexual orientation. I help clients better understand their experiences, practice selfcompassion, develop healthy coping strategies, establish boundaries, and build more fulfilling relationships. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, honoring each client’s personalized experiences, strengths, and goals.
I offer a supportive space to explore patterns, understand emotions, and gain insight into the experiences that shape you. Together, we cultivate self-compassion, recognize and build on your personal strengths and interests, and develop healthier coping skills and habits.
Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported. I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Is your relationship lacking intimacy? Are you and your partner struggling to connect? Does every conversation turn into a fight? A couples therapist at Thriveworks Fairfield can help.

Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Fairfield, CT we believe that all couples can find some value in working with a couples therapist. You can learn incredibly helpful strategies for maintaining a happy, healthy relationship, regardless of the current state of your relationship. “Couples Therapy can take many forms,” says Juliette Zuckerman, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at the Thriveworks office in Fairfield. “One or both partners may have unresolved interpersonal issues that may be affecting the current relationship. Couples therapy may explore attachment bonds, and whether those bonds are secure or insecure. Therapy may uncover unhealthy communication or behavioral patterns and seek to alter those patterns. In addition, topics regarding intimacy, infidelity, as well as family-of-origin may be addressed. Couples therapy can clarify goals for the relationship, especially if a couple is unsure whether to continue to work on improving their partnership or to determine that a separation might be the best course of action.”
