Ridgefield Prevention Council

SpireTHERAPY is a boutique mental health and wellness practice with offices in Ridgefield and Westport, CT. Grounded in the SpireMETHOD—a curriculum-based, personalized therapy approach—we help adults navigate life’s challenges with structure, compassion, and holistic support.
Our one-on-one therapy services address anxiety, depression, ADHD, executive functioning struggles, impulse control, and mood disorders. We specialize in both women’s and men’s mental health, including the emotional and psychological impact of hormonal changes across the lifespan.
Founder Denise Santangelo and the SpireTHERAPY team emphasize integrative healing. Treatment plans often include support for nutrition, sleep health, emotional regulation, and wellness coaching. We provide targeted care for women navigating PMDD, postpartum transitions, perimenopause, and menopause—with tools to manage mood changes, anxiety, and identity shifts. We also support male and female partners in understanding these changes—offering education, validation, and practical strategies to strengthen relationships and self-care.
Our therapy approach combines evidence-based modalities including:
   •    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
   •    Family Systems Therapy
   •    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
   •    Hakomi (mindfulness-based somatic therapy)
   •    Attachment Theory
   •    Motivational Interviewing
All clients begin with in-person foundation sessions, after which virtual sessions are available for ongoing flexibility. At SpireTHERAPY, we meet clients at every stage of life—with deep expertise, warm guidance, and a commitment to growth through connection.
