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.
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.
I have been working in healthcare since 2007, working as a certified nursing assistant taking care of elderly patients in long term care facilities and home care. I later graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 2008 and continued to work in long term care facilities caring for the elderly. I graduated as a Registered Nurse from Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing and went on to taking care of patients ranging from young adults to geriatric with acute conditions, stable chronic conditions and complex medical conditions. In 2018, I graduated as a Nurse Practitioner and worked with patients post cardiac surgery, critically ill patient in the intensive care unit and a mix of neurology, neurosurgery, general surgery, vascular surgery and medically unstable psychiatric patients. After experiencing postpartum, with my extensive medical background, I decided to pursue a degree in Psychiatry to help more people goring through what I went through. I graduated with my PMHNP from Western Connecticut State University in 2025. Through my education, I was able to provide care for patients, both stable and acute, with depression, ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, and mood disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Waterbury, CT
Finding the right psychiatrist in Waterbury starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on related support. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Waterbury, local psychiatry options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your search across Connecticut. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management appointments that are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Waterbury, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and how their bio describes their communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Waterbury can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront price estimates after your insurance is verified, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
