Elena Sabol, PMHNP-BC

Elena is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who prescribes for children, teens, and adults, with a particular passion for working with kids and adolescents. She also provides SPRAVATO treatment.

Elena joined the CMHS medication management team in 2026. She provides psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication care for children, teens, and adults, and she is part of the team that provides SPRAVATO treatment for adults.

Elena knows that reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step, and even more so when a parent is bringing in a child. Her visits start with open conversation, so she understands what’s going on before medication comes up, and the plan she builds with you is shaped around your goals. She works from the same chart as your therapist, so medication and therapy stay coordinated.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Elena spent five years as an inpatient psychiatric nurse caring for children and adolescents at Yale New Haven Hospital and St. Vincent’s Behavioral Health, and she has outpatient experience with patients of all ages. She came to nursing from a bachelor’s in International Relations at American University, found her way to psychiatry in UConn’s accelerated BSN program, and earned her MSN in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from Fairfield University. She is board certified through the ANCC and a member of Sigma Theta Tau, the international nursing honor society.
