Client Reviews
Working with Chastity has changed me from a therapy doubter to an advocate. As a man who grew up doubting therapy and it’s usefulness, I struggled to make the first step. When I did I worked with a therapist who didn’t match my energy and had a skillset that did not align with my ultimate goals. After a few sessions I tailed off having not found the resolution or peace that I was looking for. Chastity’s empathetic and honest approach to her work make her incredibly endearing, and after one session I knew I had to give therapy another shot. I am so glad I did. Our session’s ranged from light and casual to very deep and emotional. Her ability to layer in practices and techniques into a conversational approach made our sessions and the subsequent homework seem relevant. This approach made the work something I wanted to do instead of something I begrudgingly participated in. Our sessions became a part of my week that I looked forward to and felt like I was accomplishing what I had set out to do. Instead of scoffing at the idea of therapy I now actively promote it to most folks in my life! Would highly recommend giving Chastity a call!
A safe and open space to talk. Very thankful.
I highly recommend Chastity from West Hartford Life Coaching and Therapy. I've been working with her for close to 2 years now and I value her insight and wise counsel. Can't say enough good things. She's wonderful.
I can’t say enough great thing about Chastity! She is amazing, professional, open, kind, compassionate, and loving. She comes from a holistic approach (body, mind, and soul). She truly sees you as a whole. I was never one in the to stick with therapy in the past. Since being a client of Chastity I look forward to therapy sessions with her. She is the best!
Chas is a welcoming, understanding and sagely addition to our organization. I have found her guidance to be exceptionally insightful as she has provided me with an understanding that has been different and much more helpful than what I have heard and/or received from others. I believe that if an employee is able to talk about issues regarding his/her job and to work out how relationships go in a safe manner, it makes for a much happier and productive working environment. I believe Chas facilitates that beautifully. I would highly recommend her!
I can’t tell you how impactful Chastity Rodriguez's workshop was for our team. I heard nothing but positive feedback and appreciation for what she offered. It seemed that it was exactly what we needed – to be met with love and compassion, reminded of the good work our staff already are well-prepared to do, and to practice for themselves what they practice with their kids. It was a really solid foundation for the work that we have ahead of us, and it energized everyone for camp next week. It also helped open up some important conversations, especially among our newer staff.
During my first two years working at a private school with Chastity Rodriguez, I admired her largely from afar. I knew the students--particularly the most marginalized students--trusted her as their counselor, and I liked her warmth and ebullience, which she exuded in our limited interactions. But when I went through a difficult personal experience, she was immediately there for me, and I understood first hand why she is so beloved. I soon came to have a deep regard for her wisdom, compassion, optimism, and clarity of thought. She always seems to know when a laugh or a hand squeeze is most needed. I can't describe it any better than this, but she lifts up. And she sees through. She knows what really matters and encourages those around her to pursue it. Chastity is deft at empowering others, while simultaneously and empathetically meeting them where they are. She is always helping, guiding, encouraging, and bracing. She tells the truth. I know few people whose head and heart are so well interlaced. It was a privilege to work with her.
It is difficult for me to describe why I have cherished my interactions with Chastity Rodriguez. Trying to explain it, no matter how thoroughly, always leads me to the feeling that I have forgotten something important. So, I shall try to begin with that something important as best I can - Chastity sees and values me as a person. When I've gone to her to discuss frustrations or struggles in my school life, my first impression is that she is there for me as a human being, that she acknowledges my needs, hears my words, and understands the challenges I face - even if I don't entirely understand them myself! Her perspective is one of personal compassion and professional excellence. She is able, without judgement, to leverage her own experience and training to identify behaviors, perspectives, presumptions, and attitudes I may have missed completely. Her suggestions for next steps are always rooted in both the best course for addressing the issue at hand, and in being accessible to me as a person and a professional. I come away from our conversations feeling refreshed, re-energized, and just a bit lighter. Thank you, Chastity, for your ear and your words over these past two years.
Chastity Rodriguez is one of the wisest and most loving practitioners I've had the blessing to work with. She is direct and patient as she holds space for her clients working through difficult truths and aligning to their values. I wish for everyone to have someone like that in their lives -- if you have the chance to work with Chas, take it!
Nicole has been a really great addition to the voices in my head. she allows a constructive space for chaos, to fall apart and together again. i came in looking for direct specific info and it wasn’t til working with Nicole that i saw the picture and it’s parts are far more complex than i knew.Nicole has assisted me in dissecting/processing/embracing myself and has been a kind/comical/real guiding hand to aiding me in finding more about me.i have a long way to go, but are much farther along and much better off because of her therapizationaling.
Amanda has been an amazing and wonderful couples/sex therapist. She is very relatable and easy to share with. She brings both passion for helping people and compassion for others with her every session, and I have never once felt like I was "just another client" to her. I also enjoy her flexibility in scheduling, it really feels like she doing everything she can to meet our needs. While it feels like I am talking to an old friend, she still challenges my wife and I to be better communicators and to have compassion for each other. I cannot recommend her enough!
I love doing business with Amanda a.k.a The Sex Healer. She is super dope!!! She is dedicated, loyal, and consistent. I would definitelyrecommend her and her videos to others if you are interested in mental health services!
Tiffany has been fantastic for our relationship! She was able to diagnose many patterns in our relationship that we would never have seen without her guidance. She has also provided us with certain mediation techniques for our inevitable couple disagreements.What we like most Tiffany is her demeanor. She is not clinical nor condescending, she has a relaxed demeanor that is trustworthy. Furthermore, she speaks to you in an honest and direct manner. It has been very rewarding.
Awesome! Highly recommend this team and practice!
This place is a life safer. I see Tiffany Torok and she has honestly helped me so much in the short time I’ve been working with her, even over zoom. She’s super understanding and sincere but also challenges when I need it. She’s awesome with scheduling and can usually move me around if needed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients.
I love being retired, yet I experienced several new areas in life since that milestone of retirement that I needed help with. Amanda at Life Coaching and Therapy has, and continues to make me fully enjoy these new opportunities as well as share them with my partner.I’m happy to give Amanda, and Life Coaching and Therapy the highest rating possible.Carmine
Working with Amanda has honestly changed my life. Im 25 and have an interesting work life so dating in general was tough. I worked with Amanda through her dating program and it helped me personally on so many levels and helped me be prepared and find the most amazing woman. Amanda was able to help me with personal health, self confidence, socail skills, dating skills, relationship and sexual knowledge, and any other person struggles or obstacles I had to make me feel and be better as a person so I could be ready to start a healthy and lasting relationship. Dating to me was very difficult with my age range, today's dating world, and many other obstacles and she was able to help me push through and teach me along the way and helped me find the woman i hope to marry some day. I absolutely recommend Amanda and her help and knowledge for anyone that feels like they are struggling in any area of relationships and love. I can't thank her enough
Amanda is FANTASTIC! She is sensitive to your needs and able to help identify issues you’re going through. Amanda is great to work with, has offered me insight into my own problems/ways of thinking, and has helped support me through difficult times and see the situations from a healthy vantage point. She’s very perceptive and adept at meeting a person where they’re at and helps identify points of growth and encourages you at your own pace. I can’t thank her enough for all the issues she’s helped me process and overcome!
Michael is a fantastic listener! Whenever we talked he always made me feel welcomed, understood and accepted. He never pressured me with advice or judged me for any issues "outside the norm". I would definitely recommend Mike for anyone looking for a therapist!
Nicole is REAL and helpful. She works hard to understand where we are both coming from and always figures out ways for us to come together, meaningfully, in growth 🙂
We love Nicole! We've been seeing her for three years and she's worth every penny! Being older adults (meaning set in our ways lol) it was a great way to start our marriage off on a strong foundation. Really helped with our communication skills etc. We would highly recommend.
Nicole is a phenomenal therapist. She has helped me through the most difficult experience of my life with compassion, empathy and humor (necessary!). She is thoughtful and direct, and brought clarity to me in a time I had none - and continues to do so. I would very highly recommend Nicole and West Hartford Life Coaching and Therapy to anyone.
I have know Amanda for two years she is a exceptional therapist and a amazing human being. I feel better just knowing there is someone to listen to me . I was very unsure how I would feel about talking to a stranger about my feelings but she has helped me . I’m comfortable now she is very down to earth and I appreciate her.
I have known Amanda now for quite a few years and she is an outstanding therapist and an even better person. She has been and continues to be a pivotal person in my life helps me to grow was a person. Not only is she a great therapist but she has hand picked two other therapists in her practice that are life changers. Nicole and Mike, are amazing people and therapists and you are lucky if you get the chance to have any 3 of these people as your therapist. I promise you they will guide you, and give you all the tools you need to become a better person, spiritually, mentally and physically in all areas of your life. Thank Amanda, Mike and Nicole you for all that you do!
I am so grateful that when I was stressed out and scared that West Hartford Life Coaching was there for me. I was able to be heard and to learn strategies to help myself. Thank you Amanda and Nicole
Nicole Scrivano has helped change my child’s life. It’s a work in progress but she’s always positive and encouraging. Don’t know what we’d do without her!!
LCAT has been an integral part of our lives for the past 3 years. The therapists there are warm, nurturing yet make you do the work to get to your goals! The therapists are up on the newest technologies to make your visits with them as easy as possible. Highly recommend LCAT.
Nicole is the best therapist I’ve had so far!! She knows how to do her job and helps in a way that actually contributes to getting better and growing!!
Nicole Scrivano is honestly one of the best therapists I have ever been to. She is very down to earth and truly understands how to help with so many issues such as trauma, anxiety and depression. I can say my communication skills have gotten so much better thanks to Nicole!
What would I do without Amanda ? Amanda has helped me via phone, text, and in person. Not only has she helped my relationships, but she has helped my entire family ! Very grateful for having her as my therapist . Definitely recommend her
I had the pleasure of working with Mike Sarasceno, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mike worked with my tricky schedule, and created a safe, non-judgmental space for me to work through some challenging stuff. The space is warm and welcoming. And Mike’s the best. Highly recommend.
Anyone who's familiar with the therapy world will tell you that the key to successful treatment (well, one of them) is finding the right professional to work with. I can't say I know who the right therapist is for anyone other than me but I can tell you that you've found a really, really good one. I've seen dozens of therapists over the years but Amanda was the first I actually saw results with. She believed in me when (it felt like) no one else did and especially when I didn't believe in myself.She helped me improve the toxic, destructive relationship I had with myself (I was suffering from a basically non-existent sense of self-worth and a dangerous eating disorder) and the relationships I have with other people. She had the skills, experience, and heart to help me maneuver the complicated web of poly (and other alternative lifestyle) relationships.Also, since it's pride month when I'm posting this, I'd just like to add for anyone who may identify as LGBTQIA+, that I have always felt respected and safe to be 111% myself here. :)I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda and her team. You should definitely call them.
I've been seeing Amanda for about 4(?) years for anger issues as well as other things, and I feel like I have progressed so much more as a person thanks to Amanda's guidance. I feel very comfortable talking about everything and anything with her. She is definitely the therapist I'm going to stick with for a long time.
After an upsetting breakup back in 2015 (with a person I had been reluctant to date to start with!) I was having a lot of emotions and decided I needed to talk to someone who wasn’t my family or close friend. At the time, I found Amanda on a website with a list of local therapists. It took one visit for me to realize that Amanda was a godsend.It was a turning point in my life. Over the next few years, I experienced a lot of “aha” moments and Amanda guided me through them all. I’ve gained so many valuable lessons on: self-esteem, the the ability to receive, confidence, letting emotions out, intimacy, communication, languages of love, knowing your value and much more. My relationship with myself, my family, and romantic partners have all benefited. These lessons don’t come naturally in everyone’s life and there is no shame in seeking out assistance.Amanda’s technique was exactly what I needed. She is compassionate and helps you explore your situation and feelings, but she will be honest with you and challenge you in ways that will help you grow if you are open to it.Currently in a healthy relationship, I am practicing everything I’ve learned but I still like to check in with Amanda periodically because life likes to keep you on your toes and you never stop growing!P.S. I love supporting a strong, female entrepreneur like Amanda. I’m always impressed with the ways she and her team continue to innovate on ways they can reach and help others.

She engages in conversations versus making her clients feel like clients. With Amanda she makes you feel welcomed and cared for. Amanda has literally enhanced my life overall and has taught me some of the most valuable coping techniques one could ask for. I have and do highly recommend her!
I am so grateful to have found Amanda! She truly stands out among therapists and will do everything in her power to help her clients. She uses a very realistic approach which I have found immensely helpful, and I cannot recommend her enough!
Amanda has literally saved my marriage. Before Amanda, I was scared our relationship was going to fail. I now KNOW that we not only are going to make it through but also ENJOY our relationship. I don't even want to think about where my husband and I would be without her. #besttherapistever
Amanda is an extremely generous person that I am very thankful for. I have seen her for counseling for an Eating Disorder for a couple years. She has taught me different coping methods and options to overeating. She is not only caring, but such a compassionate, empathetic therapist. I always know that she’s rooting for me and just a phone call away. We have worked on many issues over the years and I’ve really gained a lot of knowledge from Amanda. I highly recommend you reach out to her.
