Eric Bolella , LMFT

Eric Bolella is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who earned his Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University in 2013. Over a ten-year clinical career he has worked in outpatient settings supporting inner-city youth and low-income families in New Britain, Connecticut, and has served as a clinician and manager in therapeutic group home environments for adolescents. He later managed a state-funded, nonprofit clinical domestic violence program devoted to reforming abusive behaviors and rebuilding family bonds to reduce the need for state intervention. Currently he practices privately, offering care through telehealth services.

Eric approaches therapy from a systemic and trauma-informed perspective. His work blends solution-focused strategies with a Socratic conversational style and draws on influences from Internal Family Systems, Compassionate Inquiry, and narrative methods. He emphasizes understanding patterns within relationships and the internal parts of experience to support change.

Clients typically seek Eric for life stress, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, trauma-related concerns, intimate relationship difficulties, and life cycle transitions. His clinical strengths include helping individuals and families navigate these challenges while focusing on practical, goal-oriented steps toward healthier functioning.
