Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Waterbury, CT

No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.

My curiosity about substance abuse and family systems sparked my interest in this field, leading me to study substance abuse counseling, which eventually deepened my passion for psychology.

Over the years, I’ve worked in Connecticut alongside DCF and the court systems. Since starting as a case manager in 1995, I’ve continued to grow and gain valuable experience in this ever-evolving field of psychology.

By deciding to find a therapist, you have already taken the hardest step. Whether this is your first time in therapy or picking up right where you left off, finding the right fit will allow you to reap the benefits of a strong therapeutic connection. Change isn’t linear, therefore healing can look and feel different each day. I look forward to guiding you on this journey with respect, kindness, and compassion.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed and supervisor with more than 18 years of experience. I provide telehealth services in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia. I am experienced in working with youth, adults, and the elderly. I am here to help you, to work with you in your journey to health and wellness, and to help you discover your abilities and strengths. Currently accepting new clients.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical support while creating space to grow, I would be honored to work with you. I work with women who are navigating the emotional weight of new motherhood, identity shifts, and the grief that comes with a season of life that's "supposed to" feel like a blessing. If you've found yourself in a new chapter of life whether that's becoming a parent, or another major transition, let's work together to help you feel more grounded and create a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to you.

Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or struggling with life’s challenges? In my practice, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey and you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will work hand-in-hand to uncover the strengths you already possess and build the skills needed for lasting change. Whether you are looking for coping skills to manage your life better, a need to identify negative behavior patterns within yourself, or need a safe place and someone to talk to, I work directly with you to achieve any goal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience supporting children, families, and caregivers. I earned my degree from Fordham University in 2016 and have worked extensively in the early intervention field. I bring a compassionate, practical, and family-centered perspective to my work, with an understanding of the unique challenges that can arise across different stages of life and parenting.

I worked as a Forensic Registered Nurse for more than 18. years. My experiences included working with individuals who struggle with Schizoaffective disorders, Bipolar 1 and 2 disorders, schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and other mental/behavioral issues. I obtained a Master's Degree in Nursing at Western Connecticut State University and specialized in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am licensed as such and board-certified.

Seeking support is one of the most courageous steps you can take, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered—not judged. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building the skills and confidence to move toward the life you want.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma. I also enjoy supporting high-achieving professionals who often appear to have everything together on the outside while quietly carrying overwhelming emotional burdens behind the scenes.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable.

My approach is personalized because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and strengths-based techniques to help clients develop practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, healing from painful experiences, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I'm here to meet you where you are, and together we'll work toward helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

Hi, I’m Sara. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut, and I work with teens, young adults, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship challenges.

I believe every human is on their own journey of growth, self-discovery, and healing. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. Together we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to explore your story while building the tools you need to move forward.

My approach is collaborative and flexible. I often use CBT, DBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and I tailor sessions to fit your individual needs. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and down to earth. I try to balance understanding with practical strategies that you can use in your daily life, whether that means finding ways to manage stress, communicate better, or feel more grounded.

Outside of therapy, I find balance and renewal in nature and the outdoors. That connection to growth and change in the natural world often inspires how I view the healing process in therapy.

If you’re ready to start or continue your journey, I’d be honored to support you in creating lasting growth and connection.
