Hello!
Therapy should feel like somewhere you can exhale, be yourself, and feel heard. My goal is to create a flexible and grounded space that balances support, curiosity, and practical tools.
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.
Hi! I'm here to offer a space where you can unload openly, honestly, and without judgment. Sometimes you know exactly why you’re feeling the way you do, and other times you may simply feel unsure, and here that's okay! I am here to support you along the way.
Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have experience in community support services, inpatient and outpatient treatment, emergency departments, crisis management, and psychiatric residential programs.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step towards understanding yourself and creating lasting change. Together well work to explore the challenges youre facing, and help you mover towards greater balance and fullfillment.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and stressful life transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, motherhood, and loss.
I am passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space. It is my pleasure to listen, and work through your concerns together so that you may improve your quality of life. I am kind, open and compassionate. I prioritize building a foundation of trust with my clients so that I may support them through the therapeutic process.
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:
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!
You've been holding it together for everyone else. Let's make space for you.
You're self-aware enough to know something is wrong, and exhausted from trying to figure it out on your own. Maybe you've done therapy before. Maybe you've read the books, know the language, can explain your patterns — and still can't seem to change them. That gap between knowing and feeling is exactly where I work.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and the relational wounds that don't heal with insight alone. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, hard-working women who are harder on themselves than they'd ever be on anyone else — carrying old hurt in their bodies long after their minds have tried to move on.
My approach is warm and direct. I won't just nod and reflect — I'll work actively with you, using EMDR, somatic and parts-based (IFS-informed) methods, and nervous system tools drawn from yoga therapy and mindfulness. These aren't techniques I layer on top of talk therapy — they're how I understand healing: that your body has been part of the story all along, and it needs to be part of the recovery too.
I've been doing this work for over 18 years, and I bring my whole self to it — including my own experience navigating complex relationships, multiple roles, and the ongoing practice of self-compassion that I ask of my clients.
If you're ready to stop managing and start actually shifting — I'd love to connect.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Manchester, CT starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for broader mental health care. Therapists hold different licenses (such as LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist), and many specialize in specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Manchester is part of the greater Hartford County area, and residents in nearby towns like East Hartford, Vernon, Glastonbury, and Bolton may also find providers who serve the region through virtual appointments. Whether you prefer meeting in person or connecting from home, having both options can make it easier to fit sessions into your schedule.
Therapy in Connecticut can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and is covered by your plan.
