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.

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.
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.
My path into psychiatry began in surgery, where I originally planned to become a neurosurgeon. During medical school, I participated in a diving expedition and later worked on the Biosphere 2 project — experiences that immersed me in extreme environments and sparked a deep curiosity about how people think, feel, and relate to one another under pressure. That curiosity led me to psychiatry, and since then I have combined rigorous medical training with psychodynamic study to better understand and treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I provide telehealth psychiatric care to adults, adolescents, and children in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with a special focus on trauma, treatment-resistant conditions, and pediatric psychiatry, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many of the people I work with have felt unheard or discouraged in previous treatment — and I take that seriously.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newtown, CT
Searching for therapists in Newtown starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and training that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
In a smaller city like Newtown, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Connecticut markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, therapy on weekends, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.
Therapy in Newtown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
