ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Newtown, CT

I have extensive experience in community mental health and private practice settings working with teens and adults. I received my Masters of Science in Psychology from Johnson & Wales University. I am licensed to practice in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

If you've ever felt like your brain works a little differently — constantly moving, questioning, or feeling things more deeply than you know what to do with — you're not alone, and you're in the right place. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and the pressures that come with just trying to figure life out. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and exhaustion. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that what you're experiencing makes sense — and things really can get better.

Hi, I am Susan. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry, caring for adults with a wide range of mental health needs.

Over the years, I have supported adults living with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD, and I have also worked closely with parents and caregivers of children and adult children with special needs.

Here's the thing I've learned after years of doing this work, and living it myself: you don't need to have it all figured out before you show up. I grew up dealing with my own anxiety, trauma and stress, and I remember what it felt like not having anyone to really talk to. That's a big part of why I do this. I wanted to be the person I needed back then, for my patients now. I hold a doctorate in psychiatric mental health nursing and spent years in outpatient care getting to know the struggles that are so easy to hide and so hard to carry alone. These days I work with adults across Connecticut via telehealth, focused on anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the everyday weight that builds up. My approach is simple: to give you a space to be yourself and work with you toward something that actually feels better.

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was exactly where you are now reaching out for support. You don't have to go through this alone. I have a Master's Degree in Holistic Counseling and I am also a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience working with anxiety, depression, loss and trauma. Therapy helped me to understand myself and cope with my situation. It also led me to my education which, taught me that seeing yourself as a whole gives you more options to choose from when things go wrong. By combining the two I can better support what you most need so you can move forward with purpose and see that there is life beyond coping.

Hi, I’m Roman, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience in the United States and Latin America. I support people from many backgrounds who are navigating trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, abuse, narcissistic abuse, ADHD, and immigration-related challenges. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how relationships, culture, and environment can shape the way we see ourselves and the world. The most common feedback I get from clients is that I am relatable, caring, and easy to talk to. I treat people like real people, not just a list of symptoms or problems. Building a strong, trusting connection is an important part of the process that I take very seriously, aiming to engage in co-created, and transparent collaboration with my clients.

Welcome! Therapy can be daunting - but it doesn't need to be. I'm passionate about helping others overcome struggles, realize their true potential, and build the lives they've always dreamed of. My practice focuses on helping individuals and families work through a wide range of mental health, behavioral, and/or substance use issues. Most importantly, I bring my clinical expertise to our work without leaving my humanity at the door.
