LGBT therapists in Waterbury, CT

Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a heart for supporting individuals through the transformative journey of parenthood. Specializing in perinatal mental health, I provide compassionate, bilingual therapy to help you navigate the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. With a degree from Rutgers University and years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, I understand that every journey is unique.

My approach is warm, empowering, and always centered on meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, growth, and renewed strength.

Sometimes life is hard...and sometimes, the word “hard” doesn't begin to cover it.

You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or simply tired of feeling the way you do. Maybe you know that experiences from your past are still affecting you today, or you find yourself repeating patterns you understand but can't seem to change. Other times, you may not know exactly what's wrong...you just know that something isn't working anymore.

Over the years, I've helped adults heal unresolved wounds from childhood, develop greater self-awareness and self-esteem, improve relationships, and make life-enhancing changes that allow them to feel more connected to themselves and the lives they want to live. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed.

I believe we all have the ability to grow and make meaningful changes in our lives. Sometimes we just need some help finding our strengths and figuring out what we need now.

Each of us has our own unique story and experiences. It's a privilege when someone chooses to share their story with me, and I'll meet you wherever you are in yours.

**Please note: I may have availability beyond what is currently shown on my calendar. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly to schedule a consultation call: [email protected] :)

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. As a therapist over the last 13 years I have worked with a wide variety of people as an advocate and an ally in helping them heal and grow through the therapy process. Beginning to look for a therapist can bring on anxiety, but know that taking this step is already a major sign of growth. I help work through the chaos inside one's head to identify what are the actual causes of anxiety, stress, and depression.

I’m Stephanie Jairam, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner. I help adults and adolescents navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, sleep difficulties, and other mood-related concerns. I also work with individuals experiencing PTSD, OCD, PMDD, and mood-related challenges. who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.

I offer thoughtful medication management alongside CBT-informed and supportive therapy strategies. Whether you’re seeking care for the first time or exploring a different approach, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and being yourself.

I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. I combine compassion and my clinical expertise to support the clients I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate and overcome their struggles to support and help regain stability in their lives.

I value building a trusting, authentic relationship with each client. It’s important for clients to feel and recognize the growth and progress that naturally emerge through the process. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in couples therapy, trauma, and substance use recovery with a twist. Clients call me their "hippie therapist" because I bring a decade of holistic training, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and mindfulness into my clinical work. I've spent my career in addiction and behavioral health, including leadership roles at Mountainside Treatment Center. I especially love working with high-performing professionals, healthcare providers, athletes, and military members who spend their lives caring for others and are finally ready to receive care themselves.
