Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Newtown, CT

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Philadelphia University and have been practicing for the past 9 years. I help people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and any other general life stresses. I am passionate about helping others evolve and grow to live in the best possible version of themselves.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and NY licensed creative arts therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. As a clinical social worker, I am licensed in New York, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. I have a Master in Social Work from Fordham University, a Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University. I have worked in various mental health settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, school settings, nursing homes, residential treatment center and outpatient mental clinic. I am certified in Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) and is a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I am currently pursuing a certification in Somatic Experiencing (Advanced Level), TF-CBT, and AEDP therapist (ES Level 1). I have experienced working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with a passion for helping individuals achieve mental well-being through innovative and compassionate care. As the author of The Guide to Treating Depression and a regular contributor to The Carlat Psychiatry Report—an independent journal free from pharmaceutical funding—I am committed to providing evidence-based, patient-centered care.

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.

Finding a therapist who genuinely understands your background, not just your diagnosis, can make the difference between therapy that feels like going through the motions and therapy that actually moves you.

I'm a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT), fluent in English and Hebrew. I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, identity, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.

Before private practice, much of my clinical work took place in crisis response, hospital-based care, community mental health, and other high-stress environments. That experience taught me how to sit with difficult things without becoming intimidated by them, while also recognizing that people are far more than the hardest things that have happened to them.

As a therapist, I'm warm, direct, collaborative, and genuinely curious about the person sitting across from me. I don't believe therapy should feel clinical for the sake of sounding clinical, and I don't believe my role is to simply tell you what you should do. I want to understand how you got here: the experiences that shaped you, the patterns you've developed, what those patterns may have helped you survive or manage, and whether they're still serving you now. From there, we can figure out together what you want to keep, what you want to change, and what moving forward can actually look like for you.

Welcome to my practice! For the past past 4 years, I have been working as a board certified inpatient psychiatric APRN on an acute behavioral health unit. I have obtained my Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) at University of Saint Joseph. Throughout my experience, I have worked with a multitude of patients with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders.

I often work with people who appear to be holding things together on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. You may have gone through experiences that still live in your body, or you might notice patterns in your life that you don’t fully understand but feel stuck in. If you’ve walked through substance use and recovery, you may find yourself in a season where staying sober isn’t the hardest part anymore—it’s the deeper emotional and relational work that feels heavy. If any of this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I work with young adults and adults who are ready to slow down, get honest, and engage in meaningful therapeutic work at a pace that feels safe. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, trauma, shame, relationship stress, or major life transitions. Others come to therapy after years of surviving and are now ready to understand themselves more fully, build healthier patterns, and experience a deeper sense of emotional freedom.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I believe healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered—not rushed or fixed. My work is trauma-informed and integrates evidence-based practices with a focus on helping you reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and compassionate way. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you do the deeper work, I would be honored to support you.
