ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Hartford, CT

I am Dr. Douglas Zelisko (often affectionately referred to as "Dr. Z"), a Board-Certified Psychiatrist dedicated to holistic and integrative mental health care. My educational background includes degrees from Amherst College and St. George's University School of Medicine, followed by a Psychiatry residency at the UConn School of Medicine.

I specialize in treating adults with a wide range of issues, specifically:

• Anxiety and Depression
• Trauma
• Grief and Loss
• Relationship Issues
• Focus / ADHD
• Physical ailments related to mental health

My practice is unique in that I combine traditional psychiatric expertise with holistic methods to treat the "whole you"—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just addressing symptoms.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to goals, growth, and stability. For eleven years I was a school counselor which highlighted the growing mental health needs. So, the past three years I have shifted my focus to private practice to help clients ages 8-40. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts in your journey, so congratulations on taking that first step and prioritizing your mental health!

Hello!

Therapy should feel like somewhere you can exhale, be yourself, and feel heard. My goal is to create a flexible and grounded space that balances support, curiosity, and practical tools.

Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have experience in community support services, inpatient and outpatient treatment, emergency departments, crisis management, and psychiatric residential programs.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

I have an engaging approach and provide a safe space for vulnerability and offer both faith and evidenced based treatment modalities.

I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.

I hold both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.

In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.

I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.

I’m Ilene Robbins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe meaningful change happens through connection, trust, and understanding. Clients often describe me as warm, highly perceptive and solution oriented . I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.

I work with teens, adults, professionals, parents, and couples who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — even when things appear “fine” on the outside. I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.

As both a clinician and a parent, I understand how complex relationships and emotional worlds can be. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance to my work, helping clients make sense of patterns that feel confusing or painful and move toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

You don’t need to come in with perfectly formed goals, just a willingness to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of creating meaningful, lasting change.

You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!

I’m Schuyler ("SKY-ler") Manhattan, a licensed CT-based counselor and coach with an opening now for morning, afternoon, or evening. I see adult individuals, couples and families online and in-person.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also graduated from NYU.

I offer counseling that empowers you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. You can access professional support wherever you are, without the need to travel or disrupt your busy schedule.

I'm so glad you are here!

My clinical expertise includes trauma (i.e., relational, racial, religious, sexual, generational, narcissistic abuse), identity development, relationship issues, anxiety/depression, and family of origin concerns. I have extensive experience supporting Muslim, South Asian, SWANA, and BIPoC communities, first generation/children of immigrants, as well as a passion for men's mental health. I balance evidence based practices with cultural responsiveness & a somatic lens.

My interests are heavily informed by my own identities as a brown, Bangladeshi-American, daughter of refugees.

I completed my doctoral degree in clinical psychology through the University of Denver's Graduate School of Professional Psychology. My predoctoral internship was completed at Emory University's Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University's CAPS, with a focus on social justice and outreach programming. Following licensure, I served as a staff psychologist at Yale University's Mental Health & Counseling department.
