I'm Magdalena, and I've been doing this work for 14 years — across schools, community
mental health, and private practice. What that span of experience gave me is range: I've
worked with people in serious crisis and people who are simply stuck, and I've learned
that the gap between those two things is smaller than most people think. I trained at
UNC Wilmington and have spent my career working with adults across the full
complexity of what life throws at people — anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting,
major life transitions, and identity. I offer therapy in both English and Polish, and I'm
LGBTQ+-affirming. I accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. My goal isn't to be your
therapist forever — it's to give you what you need so you can get on with your life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I am a dedicated therapist with experience delivering client-centered care to individuals from diverse backgrounds. My clinical style integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I shape my approach to each client’s needs, tailoring therapy to support them in the ways that are most helpful and relevant to their unique situation. My role as your therapist is to help you deepen your self-understanding, identify and build upon your strengths, and develop effective tools for managing life’s challenges and the discomfort that can accompany them.
Angellina Swart, LCSW is a social worker who has been in practice for six years. She is passionate about helping people access their strengths to overcome anxiety,
depression, and substance use disorders. Although she mainly works with adults, she does have experience working with children. She prefers to be authentic with her
clients to make them feel more comfortable and welcome in the therapeutic setting. She incorporates how external systems (family, work, policy, etc.) can affect a client’s well-
being and impact a person’s mental health.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan — from middle school-aged children navigating the challenges of adolescence to adults and elderly clients facing the complexities of everyday life. My broad clinical background has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique emotional, developmental, and social needs that vary across each stage of life, allowing me to provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for every client I work with.
I’m Stephanie Jairam, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults and adolescents navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, and other mood-related concerns who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.
My background in healthcare gives me a well-rounded perspective. I take a holistic approach, recognizing the close connection between mental and physical health. I’m known for being collaborative, non-judgmental, and thorough, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your care.
Hi my name is Dianca Tyson, MS, LPC. We all have hardships that we will face in life, but that doesn’t mean we have to face them alone. As your therapist, I will provide a therapeutic environment and an empathetic ear. I am passionate about helping other overcome their challenges with depression, trauma, stress, anxiety, loss, self-esteem, and relationship problems.
I have a deep understanding of what teens and adults are struggling with throughout their every day lives. I have over 15 years of experience assisting others to overcome some of life's most difficult obstacles.
I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. If you're a couple, college student, industry leader, entrepreneur, or athlete, schedule a session with with me today!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Waterbury
Searching for therapists in Waterbury starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Waterbury, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. Some people prefer an in-person office setting, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Before booking, review whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Profiles can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and session structure.
Therapy in Waterbury can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs and are ready to see new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm which coverage options are available for your plan in Waterbury. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
