Dr. Joseph Struckus, PHD

I am thankful for Dr Struckus and his intelligent and kind counsel and support. It has freed me to step out into life in new ways without the anxiety and fear that had invisibly hobbled every aspect of my life as an adult. I can now move forward more freely, to enjoy life’s journey and now know I have the resilience to manage the inevitable bumps life offers too. Dr Struckus was able to listen and provide the appropriate, relatable and sometimes tough guidance that was necessary for me to change into the much more confident and capable me! I am ever thankful and changed for the better!

Dr. Struckus is a rare GEM, a treasure in the field of therapists!! The best kept secret in Litchfield County.

Dr. Struckus is by far the best psychologist I've ever spoken with. His vast knowledge of both mental illnesses and the brain helped me to understand what was happening in my own head, and that understanding helped me get to a better place. In addition to his incredible intelligence, he is also very caring. He went above and beyond-- his only goal is to help as many people as possible as much as possible. Even after I stopped seeing him consistently, he was always around to help. He is very good at taking action-- when I needed accommodations or recommendations, he made it happen. Dr. Struckus is one of the best people I've ever met and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to understand themselves better.

Dr. Struckus came into our life as a practicing psychologist, who held hours at the Kent School. Having on-campus mental health support is critical for teenagers who attend boarding school. They often need access to immediate support. And fortunately he was there to provide it on numerous occasions. He is very technologically capable and when we needed to connect with him from our international location, he blocked his calendar for zoom calls with us. This all helped us to understand the real time situation with our child and to gain comfort that the support needed was the support being provided. He made himself available for calls twice in three days at an important juncture, and has a calm and clear communication style that builds confidence. He provides a clear framework of his view of the situation, his strategy for therapy to transcend and encourages questions. His approach gave us great comfort. We could understand his plan, because he explained it simply and clearly.

As parents, we strongly recommend Dr. Struckus as a psychologist as he has been profoundly helpful to our two children. Both children, and they reasons they needed a psychologist, are different and both were handled very well. Dr. Struckus has aided them in developing skills to manage their difficult times, allowed them to gain tremendous insight and has been an instrument for huge growth. We find Dr. Struckus to available, flexible and reliable to both our children and to us as parents. We are very grateful to have Dr. Struckus in our childrens' lives.

I was first put in contact with Jed through my boarding school 7 years ago, and over the course of that time he has dramatically improved not only my mental health, but the dynamic of my entire family. When he and I met, my family was in the middle of a very unusual divorce, and Jed ended up being on call to *all* of us to solve issues that were not required of him. Never once throughout years of our unwarranted calls, emails and texts, did he turn down an opportunity to lend a hand. That being said, Jed is far more than just your average therapist, he goes above and beyond what is asked of him because he truly cares about his patients. He is kind, empowering, unbelievably intelligent and reliable. Never in my life have I met someone who has made me feel as confident and comfortable in my own skin. I can also without a doubt say that all of this is a universal opinion of him. I have recommended him to all of my closest friends, many of which still see (and adore) him to this day.

The best thing that Kent gave me was Dr. Struckus. I was referred to him by a friend, I saw him for a little but this year I started seeing him regularly. I have dealt with a number of mental health issues, depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder, so I have seen a number of different therapists in my lifetime. No doctor has made me feel as safe, comfortable, listened to, un-judged, and understood as he has. He is one of the most well-educated, smart, and humble people know. He whole-heartedly loves his practice and genuinely cares for and wants to help his patients. With the therapy we have been doing, I can confidently say I have never felt so in tune, aware, and understanding of my mind and body. Every time we meet I feel like I have a life-changing session and the skills I have learned to cope with what I am going through will benefit me for the rest of my life. If it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would still be here today. Thank you Struckus, for everything you do for me.

I've been seeing Jed for about six years now and I can honestly say I have no clue where or who I'd be without him. I've dealt with a lot of shame, anxiety, and depression over these past years. But I've never felt judged, overlooked, or belittled by Jed. He's helped me through my experiences with sexual trauma and has been the most incredible constant throughout my ups and downs. He's inspired me and challenged me to dig deeper, reframe my thinking, and trust myself. He pushes me just enough; he knows where to draw the line but he knows what I'm capable of and has helped me see that for myself. I cannot think of a more genuine, caring, trustworthy, and all-around better person. I'm so thankful for Jed and I could not recommend him enough.

Dr. Struckus is a gem, period. I was a client of his during my stay at a boarding school in CT, and I can honestly say he changed my life. Meeting Dr. Struckus allowed me to better understand not only my mental health, but who I was as a person in general. Dr. Struckus is extremely communicative, reliable, and purely passionate about what he does. Quite frankly, I don't think I will ever find a psychologist who is as patient and understanding as Dr. Struckus, and I am still a patient of his beyond boarding school and in college. Dr. Struckus is also great for EMDR therapy, we tried our first session together and it was extremely beneficial! Please consider Dr. Struckus for your next therapy appointment, I promise you will not regret it!

Dr. Struckus has had such a profound impact on my life I cant even put it into words. While I was at Kent he was the only one who could make me feel like I wasn't just going through life without any purpose or intention. I went through multiple other people at Kent&others until I met him & no one got even close to understanding&making a clear difference in my life and mind like he could. He helped me find the root of every thing I was struggling with & worked from there in a way that never felt like a push or forced like many others. I know for a fact that he does what he does not for the money or any other reason other than that he truly cares & wants to make a positive impact on others. I genuinely owe so much of who I am & how I act/think to him. I strongly believe that no one else could've made me feel so heard&accepted when I needed it most&he is still there for me in the same way when I need it as I continue to grow into who I will become. I could never thank Dr. Struckus enough.

Dr. Struckus is a talented psycoligist who is calm, easy to talk to, and trustworthy. I have seen him for many years and from the very first visit, I could tell that he cares about the individual and is very passionate about what he does. Since I started seeing him I have had a real positive change in who I am. He has been able to explain to me in-depth about the things I went through and how to cope with them. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Struckus is an exceptional psychologist. He has many wonderful qualities: patience, warmth, strong intellect, empathy, honesty, humility, and a sense of humor. He is also very skilled at making patients feel comfortable, supported and understood. To my mind, what sets him apart is how he masterfully employs his many strengths. He is very good at identifying a path forward and then guiding his patients towards coping, healing and evolving into better-balanced versions of themselves. We always appreciated that his sessions are productive and he finds solutions that everyone can accept or at least understand. As if you might need any other reasons to choose this amazing professional, he is also responsive and truly cares about his patients.

I am one of the lucky people that Dr. Struckus has helped for many years. I am really glad to have him as my first psychologist, who has given me a really positive experience. He has helped me navigate my teenage self over the years up until now, when I'm an adult. Dr. Struckus has brought a lot of knowledge and experience to share with me that has helped me understand the circumstances I was faced in with more, whether it be about mental health, relationships, or how others think in general. Whenever he's uncertain of something, he never hesitates to admit it, but he would always get back to me in a timely manner after doing a thorough research to answer my questions. Dr. Struckus is also a very caring and patient person. He's always reached out to make sure I was doing okay at the appropriate time and gets back in a timely manner. He has sacrificed a lot of his personal time to help me and my family navigate our issues, making our family dynamics better. Thank you, Dr. Struckus!
