Lori Sfakios, APRN

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that feeling heard and understood is the foundation of meaningful mental health care. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences and working toward healing at your own pace.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from University of Connecticut and my Master’s degree from Walden University, specializing in psychiatric mental health. I provide thoughtful medication management for individuals experiencing

Depression, bipolar, PTSD, schizophrenia and related conditions.

I take a holistic and collaborative approach to care—recognizing that mental health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, stressors, relationships, and overall wellness. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all, and I work closely with each patient to develop a plan that aligns with their goals, values, and lifestyle.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, my focus is to help you feel more balanced, supported, and empowered in your daily life.

Elizabeth

“I have fought depression, anxiety, and PTSD for many years. I had settled for just okay, until CT Behavioral Health. I have been a client for around 1 1/2 years and have found myself healthier and happier then I have been in years. My therapist is awesome and knowledgeable and we have come a long way. She also returns calls promptly which keeps you grounded. The staff treats you with both respect and kindness. Dr. Awwa, the psychiatrist, is amazing. He can get so much done and really knows his patients.”
