I am Dr. Douglas Zelisko (often affectionately referred to as "Dr. Z"), a Board-Certified Psychiatrist dedicated to holistic and integrative mental health care. My educational background includes degrees from Amherst College and St. George's University School of Medicine, followed by a Psychiatry residency at the UConn School of Medicine.
I specialize in treating adults with a wide range of issues, specifically:
- Anxiety and Depression
- Trauma
- Grief and Loss
- Relationship Issues
- Focus / ADHD
- Physical ailments related to mental health
My practice is unique in that I combine traditional psychiatric expertise with holistic methods to treat the "whole you"—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just addressing symptoms.
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to goals, growth, and stability. For eleven years I was a school counselor which highlighted the growing mental health needs. So, the past three years I have shifted my focus to private practice to help clients ages 8-40. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts in your journey, so congratulations on taking that first step and prioritizing your mental health!
I have an engaging approach and provide a safe space for vulnerability and offer both faith and evidenced based treatment modalities.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. I've specialized in working with CYF (children, youth, families), and adults. I have experience in acute medical care, residential, educational, and in-home settings . I've earned a BSW from Regis College in Weston, MA, and an MSW from Boston College. I am also a 200hr RYT certification from Yoga of Energy Flow in Cambridge, MA.
In addition to a yogi, and LCSW, I am also an artist and a mother of two.
My name is Brian Sager, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC and I work for Perry Githens, APRN LLC in Southbury and New Milford, CT. We provide outpatient medication management, Spravato, and TMS. I am passionate about helping my clients improve their lives in any way that I can.
Thank you so much for looking at my profile. I'm a Social Worker with over 20 years experience treatment children, adolescents, young adults, parents/caregivers, and adults. I have honored to help my clients travel their individual paths in order to feel better about their worlds. Helping people identity what is stopping them from reaching their goals and breaking down these barriers drives my work.
I've been trained in various treatment options but I know it all comes back to the relationship we build together. As your therapist, I hope to provide you with support, strategies and gentle though direct, feedback and reflection. And most likely there will be some humor thrown in because sometimes the work we will do together needs it!
Hi! I have over 20 yrs of experience as a therapist and practice from a CBT perspective. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and I enjoy helping clients explore their issues, gain perspective and insight, learn new skills, and evolve through healing and personal growth.
